I'm the breeder behind Xcel's Xoloitzcuintli and Chinese Cresteds located in Webster, FL. My passion is to breed top-quality puppies and connect them with loving forever homes. I have been breeding for over 40 years with a focus on producing show-quality pups that also excel as the best family companions. My dogs are not only champions in the ring but in the hearts of their forever families! I can't wait to connect with you!
About Jan
I am a proud, responsible, and experienced breeder with a great love for Chinese Cresteds. My dogs are an integral part of my life, and I take pride in both their accomplishments in the ring and their wonderful temperaments and abilities at home. It is my goal to help preserve this wonderful breed and share it with those who appreciate them just as much as I do!
What makes Jan’s program special
We are an ethical hobby breeding program with a great amount of education and experience in breeding healthy Chinese Cresteds. I hold myself to the highest standard when it comes to my dogs and policies. My program's breeding stock have been carefully selected, with dogs imported from around the world, to guarantee their accomplished pedigree. I also only work with dogs that I know are excellent representations of the standard and will make a positive contribution to their line and to the families who love them. Because my program is small, I am able to give each dog and puppy all of the attention and care that they need to develop and thrive. I would be thrilled to introduce you to one of my pups!
