I'm the breeder behind Tranquil Morning Farm located in Columbia, CT. As conscientious breeders, we are proud of the loving, smart, beautiful, and sound puppies we’re able to provide for others. We built our program with care and intention in every step. We are passionate about the health and well-being of this breed, and it is our goal to provide each dog that comes from our program with a solid foundation of good health, neurological development, and loving care.
About Kristen
We live on a sheep farm, where the pups are exposed to sheep and poultry. Our dogs are also active in CPE Agility and Barn Hunt and hold titles in their sports. We love the versatility of the English Shepherd.
What makes Kristen’s program special
We focus on working ability and temperament above all. A dog that has a drive to work and a good off switch in the home is our goal. A dog that alerts to strangers, but is willing to welcome them with a friendly demeanor as well. We love dog sports, so we also look to breed dogs that can excel in sports as well.
