I'm the breeder behind Klennert's Poshy Paws located in Snohomish, WA. Our program has produced excellent show ring dogs, but we’re equally proud of all the dogs that we’ve placed in loving homes as family companions.

Kathleen’s certifications & recognitions
JCCA Board of Directors, AKC Breeder of Merit
Kathleen has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies. You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion. Together, you'll choose the puppy that's right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Puppy prices range from $1,500 - $3,000.
Kathleen may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Kathleen 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 Kathleen directly.
My puppies are well adjusted prior to leaving my home. They are socialized in our home with daily life activities.
All puppies are vaccinated, dewormed and seen by a veterinarian for a health check before leaving my home.
Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While Klennert's Poshy Paws 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.
Kathleen 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.
“We don't ship our puppies. You can come pick up your puppy or meet at the airport. ”

Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
Gangliosidosis GM2, Japanese Chin Type
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
