More about Karen

  • Why Karen started breeding

    I started Hellroaring Kennels in 1998 when I along with my husband Dennis and three girls moved back to Montana after spending several years in Sandpoint Idaho. With that change came new opportunities for the whole family. Mine was to start living my lifelong dream of working with dogs. My kennel is located at my home on 10 acres in Western Montana with lots of space dedicated to my dogs to run and play. Nighttime is back inside.
