Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind KEYMAH Afghan Hounds located in Anchorage, AK. My focus is on excellence in every aspect of my breeding program. I offer top-quality Afghan Hounds for show and pet homes.

Mimi’s experience

  • About Mimi

    Although I am very involved in showing my dogs, they are beloved companions first and foremost. I decided to responsibly breed them as a way to connect my pups to others that will love them just as much as I do. My dogs are my family, and I can't wait to welcome you into our community!

  • What makes Mimi’s program special

    I hold myself to the highest standard when it comes to my dogs and my policies. I am thorough in health testing and caring for my dogs, and I make sure each puppy gets the proper group and individual care that it needs to thrive. My goal is to ensure that every dog that comes from my program is set up to live a happy and healthy life and is prepared for its future role when it leaves my care. I look forward to helping you find the puppy of your dreams!
