Meet the breeder

I'm Koya R., the breeder behind Merle Paws Pomeranians located in Atlanta, GA. We are committed to always responsibly breeding with the best interest of our puppies’ health and longevity at the forefront. Our hope is to prepare each of our puppies with thoughtful socialization so they have the best foundation to seamlessly transition into their new homes.

Q. & A. with Koya

  • Why did you start breeding?

    It all started with our family's deep affection for our two Pomeranians, Shadow Moon and Glow. They inspired us to expand our furry family and embark on a breeding journey.

  • What makes your program special?

    What sets our breeding program apart is the personalized care and attention each puppy receives from birth. Raised in a loving home environment, our pups are socialized with children and other pets, ensuring they grow up to be well-adjusted and loving companions for their future families.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
