I'm Carrie T., the breeder behind Kozy Keeshonden located in Temple, TX. Every puppy we raise is adored as part of our family from birth. Our puppies will complete your home, your family, and your heart! We started breeding with the simple mission to breed the very best dogs that we can, to raise them with love, and to find them the perfect future homes.
Q. & A. with Carrie
Why did you start breeding?
My wife had a Keeshond “Puppy” as a child in the military. We finally found a breeder we felt comfortable with and bought Giacomo in March of 2019. In August 2019, we moved to Temple and I bought Freya for my wife as a moving present.
What makes your program special?
We are casual breeders. We have children ages 7-21 living with us and they have dogs of their own of different breeds that our litters get to interact with. This helps to provide daily socialization.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include gray cream and black and black and silver. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

It was a great experience. The breeders take very good care of their puppy's. They were forthcoming with everything and really cared for Green Bean. We love him and he has settled into the family well. The best people ever!!!
