Our cherished breeding bitches
Meet the heart of Chestnut Paws. Our breeding bitches are more than just dogs; they are beloved members of our family. Discover what makes them so special and how their loving nature shines through in the puppies they raise.
More than just breeders
Our breeding bitches stand out because they are, first and foremost, beloved family members—not kennel dogs. Each girl is carefully selected for outstanding temperament, sound structure, and health, then raised and cared for in a home environment where her emotional and physical well-being comes first. We breed selectively and responsibly, allowing our girls to mature fully, limiting the number of litters they have, and supporting them through every stage of life. Their gentle, people-focused nature, combined with intentional health testing and attentive care, is what truly sets our program apart and shows in the puppies they produce.
A heartwarming story
One of our girls had a little apricot puppy who was always the first to crawl into our laps and the last to leave—quiet, observant, and deeply affectionate. We matched him with a family who had recently lost their senior dog and weren’t sure their hearts were ready again. A few weeks after he went home, they sent a photo of him asleep on the couch, paws tucked under his chin, with a note that said, “We didn’t realise how much we needed him.” Moments like that remind us why we’re so intentional about our dogs—because the right puppy doesn’t just join a family, they help heal it.
