I'm the breeder behind Graceful Connections Breeding located in North Platte, NE. Attitude is everything! My top priority with my Kees is temperament. I work with my puppies daily to ensure they are desensitized to everyday activities, and begin potty training. I am very passionate about the breed and hope to help better the bloodlines for the future.
About Caty
I was born in 1998 in Colorado and spent my childhood between Fort Collins, and a little town in Wyoming called Torrington. I moved to Nebraska when I was 18 and started working for a breeder. The fulfillment of seeing new puppies born, watching them grow, and helping shape them and train them in preparation for their new forever homes is truly the most rewarding experience.
What makes Caty’s program special
I currently only have one female and one male. Sasha Missy MooMoo and Loki: Dog of Mischief; also known as Fluffy Butt and Mr. Squeakers. They are my pride and joy. My dogs sleep in my bed and their puppies are raised in my house with all the love and attention they could ever want. They are socialized with many different species and people to ensure they are prepared to become the perfect pets. My life revolves around my dogs and meeting their needs both socially and medically. I strive to bring you the healthiest, most well-rounded puppies. It is important to me that I am breeding versatile, well-rounded, socialized, and healthy pups for my buyers to welcome into their homes and hearts.

Caty 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 $2,000 - $3,000 and include a non-refundable deposit of $500.
“Also included are their first checkups and 6 and 8-week shots. This does not include any needed transportation related costs. A deposit is required to reserve a puppy.”
Caty may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Caty offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Caty directly.
My puppies are all raised in my home and socialized with many other pet species, children, and adults that don’t live in my home. They are given at least two baths, “taught” to swim, and started on potty training. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Human Interactions, Basic Manners, Household Desensitization, Toys, e.g. Ball, Socialized with Children, Noise Desensitization, Socialized with Other Animals, Socialized with Cats, and Potty Training.
All puppies have their vaccinations and a checkup prior to going home.
We send our puppies home with Medical Records, Vaccinations, Puppy Leash, Puppy Collar, and AKC Registration.
Caty offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
Work with a trusted flight nanny or transporter to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at an airport or meeting point close to home.
Why Caty started breeding
While taking care of many different breeds, I absolutely fell in love with Keeshondens. I fell in love with one puppy in particular and just had to have her. Now I am completely obsessed with the breed, and want to be surrounded by them. I want to introduce more people to the breed and connect them with their Keeshond soulmates.
