I'm the breeder behind Keleven located in Island Lake, IL. I have bred more than 30 champions in several different breeds. I have bred and shown Border Collies, Norwich Terriers, English Toy Spaniels, and Golden Retrievers. My dogs are my passion and I am forever learning about their care and training. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others and work hard to raise healthy, well-adjusted puppies and place them in the best homes.
About Kelly
I am a semi-retired registered respiratory therapist with a specialty in pediatrics and neonatology. I live in a fairly active household with my husband. We love sharing our life with our dogs!
What makes Kelly’s program special
I don't breed unless I know I am producing the healthiest and happiest puppies I can. My dogs must represent the correct standard of the breed. The quality of my dogs speaks for itself.
