I'm Sarah S., the breeder behind Romans 12 Kennels located in Warren, TX. We raise our litters in our home to help set the foundation for happy and confident puppies to transition well into their forever homes. It’s a privilege to have the opportunity to make an impact on each individual puppy and get to know their future families!
Q. & A. with Sarah
Why did you start breeding?
As a stay at home mom, things can get kind of boring sometimes and money can get tight.
I have always adored dogs and hanging out with puppies so two years ago we decided to dive into breeding and we have loved it ever since!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include white blue merle and tan, sable and white, and blue merle and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
