Meet the breeder

I'm Rhonda W., the breeder behind Rose Kennels located in Conover, NC. Our dogs are bred for health and temperament with a focus on athleticism, intelligence and protection.

Q. & A. with Rhonda

Why did you start breeding?
I have fostered many momma's and babies through rescue. I enjoy the early stages of life, the early training and socializing gives the pups skills to make them better dogs.
What makes your program special?
Our program is special and probably different than most, it is a very hands on system. All my dogs live with me inside my house where they get attention and exposure to home life from day one.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Belgian Malinois puppies are mahogany. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Rhonda

Rhonda has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

After buyers complete the application and screening process, Rhonda partners with them to find the best puppy match.

“Puppies really start showing temperaments and personalities around the 7 week time frame. We use those traits to match to families. We do consider which puppy the buyer likes the most but will always discuss temperaments with the buyer. ”

Price

Puppy prices include a $500 non-refundable deposit that secures a specific puppy. The remaining $1,500 - $2,500 is due before pickup, plus applicable taxes and fees.

“The price includes deworming, vet checks and puppy shots. We can discuss having their microchip done as well. Deposit will hold a specific puppy. No puppies go to their new home before 8 weeks.”

Contract & health guarantee

Rhonda may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Rhonda offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Rhonda directly.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

Rose Kennels reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Belgian Malinois.

Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Vet Wellness Exam
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
