I'm Kayla C., the breeder behind Warrior River Kennels located in Montevallo, AL. I breed multi-purpose working Coonhounds and Catahoulas. My dogs are bred for conformation and performance. I am currently home to an outstanding pack of Catahoula Leopard Dogs who are used daily in the field. My dogs are bred for conformation and performance. The goal I set, and which I believe is still the most important, is to produce healthy puppies that make a well-rounded character in an adult dog.
Q. & A. with Kayla
Why did you start breeding?

The amount of emphasis placed on ability, combined with correct conformation and stable temperaments. Lifetime breeder support makes my program special.

They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
