Meet the breeder

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.

Caty’s experience

  • 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.

What's included

Enrichment and socialization

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.

Puppy health practices

All puppies have their vaccinations and a checkup prior to going home.

Extras

We send our puppies home with Medical Records, Vaccinations, Puppy Leash, Puppy Collar, and AKC Registration.

Bringing your puppy home

Caty offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.

Pick up your puppy in North Platte, NE or nearby

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.

Get your puppy dropped off to you

Work with a trusted flight nanny or transporter to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at an airport or meeting point close to home.

More about Caty

  • 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.
