Meet the breeder
I'm Carter M., the breeder behind Rise and Shine Kennels located in Glenn Heights, TX. We love this breed and our ultimate goal is to improve it. We breed for structure and temperament. Most of our puppies go to active pet homes or sporting homes.
Q. & A. with Carter
Why did you start breeding?
I fell in love with Tervs quite some time ago, and the amount of ethical Tervuren breeders is surprisingly low in the US. That led to me wanting to do my part in preserving my favorite breed.What makes your program special?
We raise our puppies with ENS/ESI, and puppy enrichment protocol. Our litters get adjusted by a veterinary chiropractor 3-4 times before go home at 10-12 weeks. We firmly believe it does amazing things for nerve growth and development.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Belgian Tervuren puppies include mahogany and black and fawn and black. 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.
