We breed
one to two litters a
year at Cari-On Kennels. A typical litter size is from 3 to 6 puppies,
therefore demand often outweighs supply. We only breed a litter when we
are looking to keep a puppy for ourselves. We plan our litters carefully.
Frankly, because demand typically outweighs supply, we do not return
long-distance phone calls inquiring about puppies or upcoming litters. We do maintain a waiting list as we often get calls
from people who are carefully planning their next puppy or replacing a Keeshond recently
lost. Many times people call to let us know of their interest in getting a Cari-On puppy,
but not right away, maybe after their Summer vacation or when their child goes away to
college. If we do not have a puppy available when you call, we will be more than happy to
add you to our waiting list.
If you are not set on owning a Cari-On
puppy and do not want to wait, we will be happy to refer you to other reputable breeders
in your area. We would much rather see you buy a well-bred puppy from a reputable breeder,
than have you buy from a pet shop, or less than reputable backyard breeder. However, we do
not get paid for a referral service, we offer it as a courtesy. As such, we ask that you
please not request us to return long-distance
phone calls to provide a referral. We can be reached by
E-mail and
most any weekday evening via telephone at
310-323-1292 between 2:30 and 7:30 pm,
California time, and we would be happy to speak with you. You may also try to reach us on
weekends ... but we may be at the dog shows!
We offer boarding and grooming
to all our puppy buyers at very reasonable rates. But, even if you don't buy a puppy from
us, if it is a Keeshond we will be happy to provide you with the same services,
but call ahead to reserve space.
Our policy at Cari-On is to
breed ethically and responsibly, to provide the best care for ours and our client's dogs
entrusted to our care, to educate our Keeshond-owning clients in the proper care of their
dogs, and to offer whatever advice and services we can to promote a positive
breeder/client relationship.

If you are looking for a puppy, you are
welcome to drop us a line or

planned for the near future.
All pet puppies are sold on a
spay/neuter contract only
and with limited AKC registrations. Limited
AKC Registration means the dog is registered with the AKC, however, none
of its offspring can ever be registered.
All
show puppies are sold on a show contract. Please contact us for details.
Please don't ask us to return long
distance calls (outside 310 area code) for puppy referrals as we get nothing to provide
this service. We are on Pacific Standard Time and because we get up at 4:30am most
mornings we usually do not answer the phone after 7:30pm in the evenings. The best time to
reach us is between 4:00pm and 7:00pm in the evenings Monday-Friday and any time on
weekends ... provided we are not off to a show.

takes to train your new puppy, visit the Puppy Pen.
