Meet the breeder
I'm Caitlin C., the breeder behind Tulikettu Kennel located in Mount Clemens, MI. The health of our dogs always comes first. We're committed to ethical breeding & a continued effort to produce dogs that meet the breed standard. It’s important to us that we continue to improve our program and share our knowledge with our buyer families.
Q. & A. with Caitlin
Why did you start breeding?
I am a second generation dog breeder and fancier. My parents bred Alaskan Malamutes and Pug Dogs. My father also handled American Akita's. I grew up in dog showing and always knew I wanted to contribute to the population of amazing dogs I got to experience as a child. Chase's parents had Italian Greyhounds growing up. He has always had pet dogs and loves the companionship they provide.What makes your program special?
We are focused on creating the modern American pet. Healthy, mentally and physically sound dogs, who are capable of adapting to their owners lifestyle. Whether that's an agility sport home or a family with kids who just want to play fetch in the backyard. We are capable of breeding dogs across the spectrum and are honest with our buyers about what they can expect. Oh, and our dogs are cute too!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
DNA Disease Panel, PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd)
