Meet the breeder
I'm Karen L., the breeder behind River Rock located in Dane County, WI. I offer top-quality puppies with a focus on temperament, form, and function. I believe quality is more important than quantity. I am a small breeder which allows me to give each of my puppies, dogs, and breedings the proper care and attention they each deserve. I am dedicated to providing happy, healthy, and well-socialized pups for others to welcome into their family. I love my pups and know you will love them, too!
