Sunburst Kennel and Shadowriver Farm
Meet the breeder
I'm Karen G., the breeder behind Sunburst Kennel and Shadowriver Farm located in Carbon, IN. I am not planning any litters right now.. sorry, pls reach out to Kangal Club of America I am a Kangal breeder focusing on producing strong working guardian dogs for the farm and family. There are many livestock guardian breeds, and like people, they are not all alike and work the same. I researched the Kangal breed for many years and learned what is needed to produce a high-quality Kengal pup.
Q. & A. with Karen
Why did you start breeding?
I wanted to breed versatile, healthy Kangals. I prioritize health testing to ensure I am only producing the healthiest pups for my puppy buyers.What makes your program special?
Nothing brings me more satisfaction and joy than seeing my puppies thrive in the world. I spend countless hours providing each puppy I bring into this world with the fundamental basics for the best start in life.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
