Kandyland is making changes. Located totally in Florida as of August. We have added a new breed to our Kennel--The Bolognese. We are still three small hobby breeders of fine quality Pomeranian puppies and now the rare breed of the Bolognese. Our Poms and and Bolognese come from Champion lines from both the United States and Canada. We keep adding new bloodlines so that we are not inbreeding. Our dogs become members of the family. During the day, at each house, our dogs have plenty of play area both indoors and outdoors available to them. At night they are crated and have their own room. Of course, like children we always seem to have one or two who manage to sleep with one of us. Also like children, their toys are scattered both in and out doors. All our homes have fenced in areas for the safety of the dogs. We also use pens during mating season to facilitate the separation of mating pairs.
I started raising Pomeranians in 1997. Mike and Mary, my son and daughter in law started working with me right from the start. My son David joined us about four years ago and now has several nice females to work with. I can't believe how much we have learned and how naive we were about breeding at the beginning. Like many people we thought just buy a male and female and let them mate. They will do everything. It really doesn't work that way if you want to breed quality pets for your customers. Selecting top quality males and females has become out mantra. We concentrate on CTS (conformation, temperament and soundness) when picking out dogs for our breeding program. Of course not all faults are readily seen as pups but when we do find something that is not what we want to stand for, we find a great pet home for that dog. We do not knowingly breed faults in our puppies. We also work closely with our local vets, who give us advise and help us to keep all our dogs healthy.
Once puppies are here, we spend a lot of time with them. Socialization is very important for our puppies and it starts from the time they are born. We pick them up and talk to them at least a couple of times a day from the time they are born. This way they get use to human touch and sound. When they are about five weeks old we put them in a safe penned area where they can mingle with the other pups and where the grandchildren can also play with them. We need to thank several breeder friends who have helped up along the way. Special thanks to--Lynda Willis of Sweet Lollipoms from whom I bought my first Pomeranian - Del Dennis of Pomdell Pomeranians from whom I have leaned so much and from whom I bought my first champion girl and Laureen Solverson from whom I bought one of the best studs I own. Without these special people and other breeders who have befriended us we would not be where we are today.
Click here to see our contract We ship only if temperatures are within the airline guidelines for safe shipping. As of April 1, 2005, Continental has instituted a 95% price increase for shipping puppies. I haven't checked the other airlines yet and hope that since there prices were already much higher, they will remain the same. Because of this increase, shipping cost will now start at $250. This includes airfare, health certificate required by the airlines, transportation to the airport and a crate.
