I'm Kristy H., the breeder behind Kristy Humphries located in Fuquay Varina, NC. Our dogs come from a 40 year line of healthy, well structured, and well tempered Maltese. They are raised with constant access to the outdoors and lots of enrichment to keep them entertained. Owning a Maltese is wonderful, and it would be our honor to give you the perfect addition to your family.
Q. & A. with Kristy
Why did you start breeding?
Our love for Maltese is what inspired us to share this amazing breed with the world in a responsible, ethical way. We love everything about the process, from helping momma through birth to finding families for our puppies, and every cuddly moment in between. We really value the connections we form with our buyers and love to continue to watch our puppies grow up through their eyes.
What makes your program special?
With a bloodline that goes back years, and a passion that goes back further, we know how to breed healthy puppies. We treasure each puppy in our program and give them all the attention and care that we possibly can. We work hard so our puppies can leave our home with confidence, ready to take on the world with their new family! Come join our extended family and find your next snuggle companion.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in a kennel on my property.
