I'm the breeder behind Maverick Kennels located in Salinas, CA. I'm committed to producing healthy, happy puppies, and I do everything I can to prepare them for their forever families. I provide my puppies with a safe, clean, and enriching environment where they can grow and learn about the world until they are ready to venture out and experience life with their forever families!
About Edith
I love being a breeder! My dogs are such an important part of my life and family, and I am so grateful to be able to help each of my puppies' families experience the same level of joy that my dogs bring me.
What makes Edith’s program special
My dogs are an integral part of my family and daily life. This creates the ideal environment for puppies. From birth, they grow in a secure, loving environment where they know that they matter to their family -- that they have a purpose.
