I'm Kim S., the breeder behind Lone Star Chinese Cresteds by Kim located in Amarillo, TX. I have owned Cresteds for over 20 years. I began showing 3 years ago and have decided to breed for the betterment of the dog. I work very closely with a fellow enthusiast to breed the best pups possible, focusing on genetics and DNA.
Q. & A. with Kim
Why did you start breeding?
In the last 5 years I have had more time to join AKC and begin my show journey. I have met fellow enthusiasts of the breed, and decided upon applying my skills and knowledge to breeding.
What makes your program special?
I am a beginner, and you can't get any more special, right? Actually, I hope my pups are special, as I try to breed for great genetic outcomes. Prices are fair, vaccinations completed, & I work with new parents on deliveries.
What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies include powderpuff and hairless coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

We had such a great experience with Kim! From the start, she was super kind, helpful, and genuinely cares about her pups. Our pup, Bear, has been such a wonderful addition to our family — he’s healthy, happy, and full of personality. Kim made the whole process easy and made sure Bear was ready for his new home. We couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, Chinese Crested.

I can't begin to tell you how lucky I am that I found Kim and my boys. Once it was determined that I was getting the two brothers, Vincent and Jules, the process was super easy. Payment and communication was a breeze and it was so nice meeting Kim at the Dallas airport. I flew in from Raleigh to pick the kids up and flew back the same night. They are AMAZING little men. Sweet, loving and very smart.... sometimes a little too smart, lol. Anyone looking to get one of Kim's babies is going to incredibly happy they decided to work with her and Lone Star Chinese Cresteds.
