Welcome to Livingstone Kennels
Welcome to Livingstone Kennels....
My name is Kim Livingstone and I love dogs!
I live 45 minutes north of Mpls/St.Paul, Minnesota on 8 acres with my wonderful husband Marc, who after his 8 hour day at work comes home and answers his "honey do" list as kennel builder/maintenance man. Together we have 5 children and 2 grandchildren who all take part in socializing and raising our canine companions.
I have been fortunate enough to have always had dogs a part of my life and in 1999 I started raising Boxers with the help and consultation of a long time Boxer breeder as my mentor. While I still have a few Boxers, my passion is Cocker spaniels, of which I have always had and loved growing up.
The health and wellbeing of my dogs is #1....
All of our dogs are socialized, know basic commands, are routinely vet checked, groomed and raised in our home.
We are active in obedience, agility and conformation. While many of my dogs are Champion quality, my main goal is to produce quality puppies/great companions which mature to be excellent representations of their breed with or without a title. My puppies are healthy, vet checked, UTD on vaccinations, well socialized and happy when they leave here. All puppies are AKC registered and come with a 1 year written health guarantee.
I am constantly trying to improve, and will do so as long as I continue to raise puppies. In my opinion, no matter how many years "any" breeder has been raising dogs, there is always something new to learn. There is no perfection, only the drive to attain it!
I hope you enjoy your visit with us.
Kim
