Our Story

Cimarron Kennel began the way most good kennels do — with a genuine love for dogs that grew into a responsibility to raise them well. What started as a small, family-run home for a handful of dogs has grown into a trusted name for six cherished breeds across Chikmagalur: Beagles, Shih Tzus, Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds and Rottweilers.

We've always believed a puppy's first weeks shape the dog it becomes. That's why every litter at Cimarron Kennel is raised inside our home rather than in isolated runs — surrounded by people, household sounds, and the everyday rhythm of family life, so they're genuinely ready for yours.

How We Raise Every Litter

The same care, every time — from the first vet visit to the day a puppy meets its new family.

Before Birth

Healthy Parent Lines

We pair dogs thoughtfully, with health and temperament front of mind — not just appearance.

The First Weeks

Raised Inside Our Home

Puppies are whelped and raised underfoot, handled daily, and exposed to everyday household life from the start.

Before They Leave

Vet Checks & Vaccinations

Every puppy is examined by a vet, vaccinated and dewormed on an age-appropriate schedule before going home.

Beyond Pickup

We Stay In Touch

Feeding questions, settling-in troubles, training tips — our team stays reachable well after handover day.

What We Stand For

Ethical Breeding

Thoughtful pairing of healthy, well-tempered parent dogs — never overbreeding for volume.

Vet-Verified Health

Independent veterinary checks, vaccination and deworming for every single litter.

Family-Raised Puppies

Raised around people and everyday life, not in isolated kennel runs.

Life-Long Support

Our relationship with an owner doesn't end at pickup — we're a message away, always.

Where We Raise Our Puppies

Chikmagalur is Karnataka's coffee country — cool hill air, the foothills of the Western Ghats, and a slower pace of life. It's an unusually good place to raise a litter: clean surroundings, space to roam, and a genuine community of dog lovers nearby.

When it's time for a puppy's first outdoor adventures, or for a handover day, we make the most of that setting — which is exactly where many of the photographs on this site were taken.
