Q. & A. with Kathy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I fell in love with the Chessie breed as a young girl. When I got my first dog as an adult I knew I wanted to become more involved in the breed and felt I had the time and energy to produce exceptional puppies. My 30+ years in the breed and my successes as a breeder for 25 years keep me striving to continue to breed well rounded puppies.
  • What makes your program special?

    I focus on breeding dogs with excellent temperaments and health. I enjoy producing puppies that excel in a wide range of activities but are also excellent family members. I use several proven methods of puppy rearing which make pups fearless and ready to take on the next stage of their lives once they leave my house. Please email me directly instead of through Good Dog WhiskeyCreekCBR@icloud.com
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

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

Getting a puppy from Kathy

Kathy has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Kathy partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 6 weeks old.

“Pups are matched based on buyers wants/needs. We feel that a buyer can’t properly assess a puppy with just a few short hours of meeting the litter. Occasionally we have pups that are deadgrass or sedge in color but please be aware WE DO NOT SELL PUPS BASED ON COLOR! Why don’t we sell pups based on color? Well, if I have a litter and there happens to be a deadgrass and the buyer specifically wants ‘a hunting dog’ but really wants the deadgrass in the litter even though the ‘best’ hunting pup in the litter is the dark brown, it doesn’t make sense for me to sell a pup that is obviously more of a companion dog to the person who specifically asked for a ‘hunting dog.’ So did the person really want a hunting dog? Or did they just want the deadgrass colored puppy? Or what if the deadgrass was the most active and all you wanted was a companion? Neither you or the dog are going to be happy as you didn’t sign up for a dog that constantly wants to be doing something, and the dog is unhappy and because they are bored potentially is destructive! A good breeder always try’s to strive to place the right puppy in the right home!”

Price

Puppy prices include a $500 refundable deposit that secures a spot on the general waitlist. The remaining $9,499 is due at pickup, before taxes & fees.

“Puppies will be registered (all fees paid) with AKC and will also be microchipped (all fees paid). All of our puppies are the same price. Pups are sold on AKC LIMITED registration. Deposits are refundable or transferable to another litter.”
