Paws In The Valley
Meet the breeder
I'm Kristin C., the breeder behind Paws In The Valley located in Los Lunas, NM. I've worked extremely hard to develop a program that concentrates on health and temperament. I have also done multiple health testing on all of my dogs. My goal is to improve the breed AND provide you with the healthiest, happiest, most beautiful puppy possible! I look forward to connecting with you!
Q. & A. with Kristin
Why did you start breeding?
I believe that purposeful and ethical breeding is so important for the healthy progression of any dog! I saw a need for someone to show compassion for health in the dogs I've chosen to raise and work with. It's an amazing feeling knowing that I made a positive contribution to these dogs and the families who love them!What makes your program special?
I strive for quality and excellence with everything that I do. Holding myself to high standards is paramount to the well-being of my dogs and to the integrity of my program. I believe my dedication, enthusiasm, and knowledge have put me in a completely different category than most of the breeders I've encountered.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
