We are a small scale hobby kennel that recently relocated from Phoenix AZ to SE Kansas mostly so that our dogs would have a much better place to live. We produce Unique & Quality American Cocker Spaniels for loving homes. We often do not adhere to just the American Spaniel Club approved "colors" but have Merles and Sables as well. We still ensure they are healthy and meet other Conformation Criteria tho. Unlike the urban centers of KC, Topeka and Wichita or the western plains, this section of Kansas has beautiful rolling hills, abundant natural wildlife and plenty of trees! Here our dogs are part of the family, live with us in the house, even sleep with us in bed @ night (or around the bed as some prefer). |
| Kat is disabled and Terry is retired so we devote the majority of our time with our furbabies. When we do travel some usually come with us and those that do stay home are cared for by Kat's dad who stays with the "grandpuppies" and gives them the same kind of care and affection we do when home. |





| The name KatteryKennels comes from taking our first names (Kat + Terry) and combining them. Both a cattery and a kennel are a place that houses cats and dogs respectively so the name fits us. Other than our breeding cocker spaniels we have 9 neutered kitties and 2 neutered "rescues" that are part of our family. We devote our time to the furbabies as we call them often. |
| We believe that every home should believe that the health and emotional well being of them are far more important than fancy things in life. Some of the more well known kennels might like to flaunt pedigree and championship status of their dogs~ all of which can be achieved with money not necessarily by quality of the dog. Here @ Kattery Kennels we think that having a healthy well adjusted puppy or dog is far more important~ its also not something money can achieve for you. |
| We have a room that is entirely devoted to the dogs, their toys, furniture, bowls and dog door that leads out into a large enclosed DoggieYard that has grass, trees and toys for them to enjoy. We also have another room that is entirely devoted to the cats that has their, boxes, bowls, furniture and toys that the dogs might chew up so they won't get out the doggie door and the dogs aren't allowed in the kitty room so they won't get into their food and boxes, other than that they freely roam the house just like any kids would. They are NEVER in cages or left to fend for themselves outdoors, we simply don't believe in treating our babies that way. |



| Our breeding program is meticulously planned. We screen all of our potential parents for genetic disorders including getting them OFA'd and CERF'd. We keep them current on their vaccinations, use preventative medicine and blood screening as well. So far we have had no incidents of illness here and we aim to keep that status. You are welcome to verify with our family veterinarian the status of any and all of our furbabies. Other than the rescues we took in (Dec 06) none of ours have even had an ear infection. Our oldest cat (Emmykitty 7 going on 8 years old) did have to have 2 teeth pulled in April/07 due to an infected root but that is the first time for anything since we began back in 1995. |
| We are licensed with the State of Kansas, go thru at least a yearly inspection and annually our veterinarian comes out to our home just to (Last inspection date 11/7/2007~Passed with ZERO Demerits) We are AKC compliant and use them as the only registry. |






| Kat has 9 years experience as a veterinary nurse, dog groomer and a small amount of time spent with the show dog world where she first fell in love with Cocker Spaniels. |
| Terry was raised on a farm in MN & has a practical hands on attitude and is also one of the biggest softies when it comes to animals. He does most of the "hard" work around here and is often fixing or creating something for the dogs to enjoy! |
| We both work with our dogs, cats as a team and devote the majority of our days to their care and well being. We have no issue with sitting down on the floors to play and incorporate their needs into our daily routine. |

| We do not sell our puppies to just anyone. We screen potential homes, require a signed written contract and we will ask for and check out references. NONE of our puppies are ever sold to pet stores or brokers. The contract also requires any family to return the dog/puppy to us should the situation change and they can no longer care for the dog. Each puppy/dog is micro chipped and registered before leaving for its new home. We take every step possible to ensure the well being of our puppies and dogs. New Owners are always welcome to visit our home and check us out. We do require however that you agree to take certain precautions so as to keep our facilities disease free. *shoe covers, leaving other pets and or younger children at home etc* |
