Olde Ridge Kennels
Meet the breeder
I'm Ann K., the breeder behind Olde Ridge Kennels located in Dover, DE. I am a small hobby program. I breed occasionally. I enjoy showing in AKC breed competitions and occasionally do obedience and hunt tests. Our dogs are bred to conform to the AKC breed standard. I breed them to be healthy family members with great temperaments.
Q. & A. with Ann
Why did you start breeding?
I love animals and wanted a way to become more involved. It was a natural progression. It started first with an AKC show dog, dog shows, a second AKC show dog, an excellent mentor, to breeding my first litter.What makes your program special?
My puppy buyers become extended family. I am available to them through the life of their pet.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
