I'm the breeder behind Karen Elliott located in Choctaw, OK. Our dogs are bred specifically with health and conformation as focus. I'm a small breeder who takes pride and love in my puppies and finding them a home. I have been breeding for 6 years, and take great pride in my babies. I have both parents on site, and they are in the house.
About Karen

What makes Karen’s program special

Why Karen started breeding
