About Us

Pastiche Kennels is a family oriented kennel based in Central California.

Our dogs are our passion. Our goal is not to only breed beautiful animals, but to also maintain good temperaments, sound structure, and great health.

I always knew when I grew up I would have to have a career involving animals. I was in love with them. It didn’t matter what size or shape. I owned every type of animal I could.  I brought home anything from bugs, dogs, and even a skunk!  I surrounded myself with people who bred animals.  I have watched a countless number of puppies, cats, cows, and even hedgehogs born.  There is just something about new life happening right before your eyes and watching as they grow and develop.

Why dogs?

Tikki was my first Golden.  I was 8 when we got him.  He was our family dog, but mostly he was mine.  We did everything together.  He made the “Man’s Best Friend” phrase come to life.  No matter what I was feeling he was always there to cheer me up.  He put up with everything from me as we went on our journey into the show world.  He was so patient through our many hours of training and grooming. From there my passion grew and I knew that one day I would be a great handler and own my own kennel.
