I'm the breeder behind Big House Kennels located in Houston, TX. We offer top-quality puppies from carefully planned litters. We focus on temperament, soundness, and beauty. We devote our time, energy, and efforts to each litter to ensure our puppies are properly socialized from the moment they are born and prepared to excel in their forever homes. By creating an environment of health and harmony for young puppies, we believe we are able to give each little pup the very best chance to reach its potential, express its best character, and bring forth its greatest gifts in the relationship with itself and to its family.
Q. & A. with Troy
Why did you start breeding?
I got started with my breeding program because of a genuine interest in dogs and the process. I have always been invested in the well-being of animals. I wanted to give back to the breed by producing healthy pups and placing them into loving homes. It is such an honor to preserve the line of these incredible dogs all the while creating companionship for others!
What makes your program special?
I have a background in animal medicine which gives me the knowledge and experience to thoroughly care for my dogs and puppies. I also provide boarding, training, grooming, and wellness services. I have a passionate love for all animals. Because of these things, I am able to give my dogs and puppies the best lives possible and I am able to help share the joy of these dogs with others!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
