Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Crown Kennels located in Indiana. We raise our puppies with total care and attention so they can become well-socialized and loving additions to their forever homes. Our breeding program started with one small litter that turned into a fulfilling, lifelong passion! We believe there’s no greater joy than providing families with companions that share unconditional love no matter what.
