Meet the breeder

I'm Nancy Z., the breeder behind Turtle Island NAIDs located in Granby, CO. Each litter is raised with prayer, song, and intention. Turtle Island NAIDs is more than a name. It’s a living promise — to honor our ancestors, protect the breed, and carry forward the harmony between people, dogs, and the natural world.

Q. & A. with Nancy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Our journey began with a single dog from Corn Moon Kennels — a Native American Indian Dog who changed everything. The bond we formed ran deeper than we ever expected, connecting us not just to the breed, but to the spirit and tradition behind it. Over time, we were deeply honored to be invited to join NAIDPP as breeders, carrying forward the legacy of these sacred dogs.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our purpose is more than breeding — it’s preservation. We honor the spirit of the original Native dogs, their loyalty, balance, and strength, through tradition, respect, and connection to the land. At Turtle Island NAIDs, every pup carries a piece of heritage, heart, and hope for the future. 🌎 We don’t just raise dogs — we raise living stories of love, resilience, and tradition.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
