I'm Jennifer K., the breeder behind Pernema Kennel located in Tuscola County, MI. I have been in the breed since 1999. Health is most important to our kennel. We are experienced breeders, and we take our role seriously. We keep a variety of factors in mind when choosing dogs to breed, including health, temperament, pedigree, and complementary traits, so that puppies can inherit the best of both parents.
Q. & A. with Jennifer
Why did you start breeding?
I started by helping breeders by handling their dogs. I chose my breed through them. I started with a co-owned female, and have continued. I don't breed often. The health of the dogs/puppies is the number 1 importance.
What makes your program special?
Our dogs live long happy lives. Our oldest was 17 when she passed away.
