I'm Willaim R., the breeder behind Rathbone Kennels located in Anderson County, SC. My focus is on maintaining the breed standard by raising structurally sound pups with excellent temperaments and great health. My main priority when breeding is the temperament of my dogs and puppies. I want my puppies to be wonderful family companions and bring lots of love and joy into their forever homes.
Q. & A. with Willaim
Why did you start breeding?
Because of my dedication to both the physical and mental health of these incredible dogs, I breed to pass these traits down to future generations. I hope to help families find their puppies from responsible and ethical sources to build a better and safer world for our dogs.
What makes your program special?
I hold myself to the highest standard when it comes to my dogs and my policies. I am thorough in health testing and caring for my dogs, and I make sure each puppy gets the proper group and individual care that it needs to thrive. My goal is to ensure that every dog that comes from my program is set up to live a happy and healthy life and is prepared for its future role when it leaves my care.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in a kennel on my property.
