About Kara
I have been showing cocker spaniels in conformation since 2002 and obedience. I am retired now and will devote more time to my breeding program
What makes Kara’s program special
I have devoted time and money to purchase some very nice dogs and girls... My program is special because I health test and do responsible breeding to insure healthy puppies!
