About Me

I’m a passionate, caring, and genuine dog lover who believes every dog deserves to feel loved, safe, and truly part of a family. My breeding girls are never locked away or treated like numbers, they live right here with us as cherished members of our home, sharing daily life, cuddles on the couch, and plenty of love.

As a very small, ethical breeder, I place the health and wellbeing of my dogs above everything else. Every breeding girl must pass full genetic testing before becoming part of my program, because producing healthy, happy puppies is my absolute priority. My dogs are never kennelled, they are my babies, and they are raised with kindness, attention, and respect.

My stud boys live in happy, loving local homes where they can enjoy life as family pets. When they come to visit, their excitement says it all, they know exactly what their visit means, an important job at hand.

We also follow an Early Neurological Program (ENP) with every litter, helping our puppies grow into confident, well-adjusted companions ready for their future homes. From their very first days, they are gently handled, exposed to everyday sights and sounds, and raised in a loving family environment.

While many breeders focus on the show ring, I breed with a different goal in mind, companion, therapy, and beloved family pets. Temperament, health, and loving personalities always come first, because my greatest joy is knowing my puppies grow into wonderful lifelong companions.

Breeding is not just something I do, it’s something I care deeply about. I pour my heart and soul into raising well loved, well socialised puppies so they can bring as much joy to their new families as my dogs bring to me every single day.

 

"Highly recommend! Our family addition just loves people and has such a wonderful personality. Karadon Kennels were so friendly and the whole process was great. My vet was very impressed with all the information that came with our puppy's first visit."

"We got Barney from Karadon Kennels earlier this year. Communication throughout with Karen was excellent and everything went smoothly from the time we first spotted our puppy online to when he arrived via the pet bus in Wellington. Karen clearly loves her dogs and puppies and it gave us confidence to be dealing with such an experienced and caring breeder. Barney is awesome, a happy, healthy family member."

"From the 1st meeting with Karen at Karadon Kennels, I knew this is where my new puppy was coming from. The puppies where in a great environment and well cared for. The knowledge of the breed and sharing of information was both professional and I could tell they were passionate of the Dogs and Pups. I found Mila my new Cavoodle pup delightful and very smart- I had no troubles with training and she has an awesome nature. Thankyou again for my wee girl, we adore her!"
