About the Breeder
A little about us
I was raised around Lowchen from birth. I am passionate about ethical breeding for show, performance and pet homes. Lowchen are a part of our daily lives, enjoying our home and farm. I have had a lot of success with my dogs and even more fun. Now I get to share my passion with my children and husband.
Why we got involved in breeding
Pia Kirke of Tilcha Lowchen convinced me to show a Lowchen when I was in my final years at school and I've been hooked ever since.
Our special touch
I have a holistic approach to breeding Lowchen which allows our puppies to be robust and healthy, with resilience and confidence guiding them.
