I'm the breeder behind Shakira Kennels located in Pearland, TX. We are a small, family-run program focused on breeding high-quality puppies that are healthy, loving, and true to the standard. We provide each of our dogs and puppies with the best care, and it is our top priority to ensure each pup goes to a responsible, loving home.
About Teri
I grew up with my parents breeding English Bulldogs. I showed in AKC confirmation with my dad and loved it. I wanted to breed dogs and enjoy them with my family and with yours too.
What makes Teri’s program special
Our puppies are placed after speaking to potential families and placing puppies based on temperament and the family’s lifestyle vs picking a color of a collar and having no idea what that puppy is actually like. I’ve placed puppies by this method for almost thirty years and have yet to disappointed ❤️. Puppies are evaluated at eight weeks and we continue to get to know them as they grow.
