Loving Families
I believe in building lasting connections. By maintaining close ties with my alumni families for years, I provide the ongoing mentorship and support necessary to navigate the beautiful complexities of life with a canine companion. Below are a few of my most memorable Ken’s Kennel Alumni Families!

“We ❤️ you!
Our story with Ken’s Kennel began in March 2020, when Dakota came home to us right as the world was shutting down. We had heard about Ken through other Dripping Springs families, and for my six-year-old son Rocco, she quickly became more than just a puppy she became his companion, and a true part of our family.
What made it even more special is that Dakota was one of three siblings living in our neighborhood! Three years later, Ken reached out about another puppy from a new litter, and while we absolutely did not plan on getting a second dog, one picture later… we brought home Dos (for Two) the second dog we didn’t know we needed but now couldn’t imagine life without. We would recommend Ken’s Kennel wholeheartedly to anyone looking to bring a truly special dog into their home.”

“My husband has known Mr. Brown since he was sitting in his middle school classroom—so we’ve jokingly said Ken has been influencing our family decisions for a long time before we ever brought home puppies. That trust carried over seamlessly when we brought home golden doodle siblings, Coach and Sassy.
We couldn’t leave the last puppy in the litter behind, and from the very beginning it was evident that Ken prioritizes quality, temperament, and thoughtful breeding. These dogs are gentle, smart, and incredible with our boys—especially B, who loves dogs more than anything in the world.
Years later, when the opportunity for a third dog arose, there was never a question who we would call. We already knew the consistency and care behind Ken’s program. Adding Mac, our bernedoodle, simply confirmed what we experienced from the start—dogs raised with integrity, heart, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.”
“Ken is simply the best!
Poppy, now 8 is from the first ever litter of pups from Ken’s Kennel. We cannot imagine life without her. Between my family and my husband’s family, we have 8 dogs from Ken. We got our 8th baby today for our daughter. She is gorgeous with such a sweet disposition. It is evident that all dogs from Ken’s Kennel are well cared for and loved.
We whole heartedly recommend Ken’s Kennel. Not only is he dedicated to his dogs, pups and the families he meets along the way, he is a faithful and honest man with integrity.
My husband and I have known Ken for many, many years and trust him completely - he was my husband’s 8th grade history teacher and my mentor when I was a first-year teacher. Our paths have continued to cross and we are so thankful. He continues to bless our family with his friendship and healthy and gorgeous dogs who are perfect fits for our family.”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ken! We have been lucky enough to bring home not one, but two adorable mini Goldendoodles from him, and both experiences have been nothing short of outstanding. From the very beginning, it was clear how much love, care, and knowledge goes into every puppy.
Ken truly prioritizes the health and wellbeing of his dogs, and it shows in every detail, from the clean and nurturing environment to the time he takes preparing each puppy for their forever home. Thanks to him, our family has been blessed with two amazing companions who bring us joy every single day.”
