Meet the breeder
I'm the breeder behind Desert Oasis Kennels located in Soap Lake, WA. We put a focus on health and work-ability. We feel work-ability and drive have been struggling in both of our breeds. A working dog is a happy dog. We choose our breeding dogs based on health, temperament, and drive. We know that all dogs have faults and we work to correct those.
Kala’s experience
About Kala
I have been raised around dogs my entire life. Multiple breeds and mixes. I train and board as well as raise dogs. We(my husband and I) have 10 acres for training and play. We have two kids currently that help us socialize our dogs/puppies.
What makes Kala’s program special
We are trying to save our breeds. We look for lines that are original in conformation and workability. We don't look just for titles but for dogs that produce sound temperaments and working puppies. We offer full registration and guidance to our buyers to help build their kennel. Because it isn't a competition it's a labor of love.

We got into this program when I got my first Chesapeake, I'd always heard they had bad attitudes. The male we had was amazing, he was a superb example of what the breed should be so we decided we wanted to reproduce that.

Kala was screened for responsible practices and has been a member since 2019.
