Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Kessel Run Icelandic Sheepdogs located in Kentwood, MI. All puppies are also raised inside of our home and handled and adored daily! We raise our puppies using Puppy Culture and Avidog protocols to ensure they have the best possible start to life. Puppies are not first come first serve, we chose placements based on the best fit for that individual puppy.

Kristine’s experience

  • About Kristine

    I have been involved in dogs for over 10 years, I started out in dog 4H as a teenager. Unlike all the other kids who preferred agility, I instantly developed a love of conformation showing. I showed my family's little mixed breed and was eager to learn the ins and outs of the show world. I purchased my first real show dog at 16 and the rest is history!

  • What makes Kristine’s program special

    At the end of the day, I want to breed dogs that are easy to live with, able to do the job they were originally bred for, able to do various dog sports, and still competitive in the breed ring. Temperament is very important to me, an icie should be social and confident. I strive to preserve these characteristics while breeding dogs that have correct conformation and strong breed type.
