Smol Beans Kennel
Meet the breeder
I'm Mary B., the breeder behind Smol Beans Kennel located in Manning, SC. We offer loving, beautiful companions in small sizes. Our dogs are chosen and bred for health, temperament, and the elegant complementing of structures. Because our program is small and home-based, we're able to give each dog and puppy all of the attention and care that they need to develop and thrive. Our dogs are our family, and we give that same love to each puppy as we prepare them to join their forever homes.
Q. & A. with Mary
Why did you start breeding?
I hope to help families find their puppies from responsible and ethical sources to build a better and safer world for our dogs. Shihpoos are an incredible breed, and I decided to start my program in order to preserve the wonderful qualities I found in my dogs. They are bed for their exceptional coats and family-friendly personalities! I know that each puppy will become a treasured family member.What makes your program special?
My dogs are an integral part of my family and daily life. This creates the ideal environment for puppies. From birth, they grow in a secure, loving environment where they know that they matter to their family -- that they have a purpose. Every litter is always a little different, but it is so fulfilling to see the different personalities and such a joy and challenge to hand-raise each puppy. I love watching them blossom!What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are tiny size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
