Meet the breeder
I'm Ellen S., the breeder behind Nariba Kennels located in Bedford, TX. The goal of our breeding program is to produce dogs with a phenomenal temperament and excellent health. Dogs who can thrive in the show ring as well as at home on the couch.
Q. & A. with Ellen
Why did you start breeding?
My family grew up raising Golden Retrievers and a family friend got me introduced to the show dog world. I started off working with sighthound breeds and as I grew older my preferences developed. When I was 16 I settled on Great Danes. In 2021 I expanded and added Italian greyhounds. I have since retired from Danes and work only with IG’s.What makes your program special?
My long-term goals are to uphold what breeds truly were. I don’t believe in making a dog something that it wasn’t bred to do. I believe in health and temperament over anything else.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red fawn, fawn, white and blue fawn, red, white and red, white and black, white and blue, blue fawn, seal, blue, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
