I'm the breeder behind Kaye-Nyne Kennels located in North Carolina. We consider a variety of factors when making breeding decisions, and we only breed dogs that are exemplary representations of the standard. We provide each of our dogs and puppies with the best care, and we ensure each pup that we don’t keep goes to a responsible, loving home.
About Kaye
Hobby Breeder of American Staffordshire Terriers, since 1982.
What makes Kaye’s program special
I breed very infrequently, with a special focus on quality, always trying improve upon the traits of the sire and dam, so I am very particular about health, temperament and genetic breeding decisions.
Kaye is a member of 3 clubs

Kaye may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy.

If Kaye 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 Kaye directly.
I begin Suzanne Clothier Enriched Puppy Protocol on day one to provide each puppy with the best foundation.
All puppies will be vaccinated and health checked by a Veterinarian before heading to their new homes.
Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While Kaye-Nyne Kennels hasn’t shared specifics yet, we encourage you to reach out directly to learn what thoughtful extras they may include to help your puppy transition comfortably into their new home.
Kaye 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 to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at an airport or meeting point close to home.
