I'm the breeder behind CryptidHearts located in Tennessee. Our program focuses on Temperament first. (Along side Health, of course!) Our goal is to produce Therapy and Service Dog potential candidates. With very stable nerves, open sociability, and an eagerness to learn.
About Kay
CryptidHearts is owned by couple Kayla + Hunter. I'm a very passionate Force Free Dog Trainer, and have owner trained my own personal service dogs on multiple occasions. My partner is a Vet Tech at a specialist facility. We have many years of experience TNRing cats, as well as bottle raising kitten litters.
What makes Kay’s program special
Our program is striving for more than just quality healthy pets. Through long term selective breeding, we're hoping to produce consistent Therapy and Service Dog candidate temperaments in our puppies. We know what this breed is capable of, and want to bring it out into the world to help others.
Kay has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies. You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion. Together, you'll choose the puppy that's right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Puppy prices range from $3,000 - $4,000 and include a non-refundable deposit of $500.
“Price goes towards Limited AKC Registration Pre-Reg, AKC Microchip, UTD Shots, Puppy Culture socialization protocols, and Early Introduction to Training for all puppies. Our puppies prices range based on their potential. Show, Performance, and Working(Therapy or ServiceDog) potential puppies will cost more than Pet Home puppies.”
Kay may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy.

Why Kay started breeding
We decided to get involved in breeding Pomeranian's, in order to bring the joy and help that a Service Dog or a Therapy Dog can provide, to others. Small breed options for working candidacy is in short supply, and my biggest passion as a dog trainer is getting to train Service Dogs. We want to provide great partners for those in need, while also showing the potential the breed has.
