I'm Kim W., the breeder behind Mandolin Kennels. located in Knoxville, TN.

Our dogs are considered members of our family, and we give each dog and puppy all the attention and care that they require to live happy, healthy lives.

Q. & A. with Kim

    We are dedicated to always providing our buyers and our puppies with a positive experience, which includes remaining committed to responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming our puppies.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
