I'm Ailynn K., the breeder behind Stargazer OES and Des Etoiles Berger Picards located in Redmond, WA. I'm committed to breeding healthy puppies with great temperaments who grow up to try out many dog sports and be the best companions. The goal I set and which I believe is still the most important is to produce healthy puppies that make a well-rounded character in an adult dog.
Q. & A. with Ailynn
Why did you start breeding?
I began showing my third OES. Her breeder encouraged me to get into it, and to get involved with the club, and eventually with breeding. The 2020 litter was my first. I am being mentored by many experienced breeders.
What makes your program special?
I am learning from many breeders of OES and Picards, and I am committed to studying their best practices. I do all the OFA tests and DNA tests on dogs and puppies. I hope to keep in touch with all the puppies for their whole lives so that I can learn how to be a better breeder.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
