Amy Balassone

Amy Balassone, dog breeder in Kansas City, Missouri, in the Midwest near St. Louis, raises well-adjusted puppies in a calm family environment. She has spent more than a decade caring for litters registered with national breed clubs, and she consistently screens for common health concerns to promote longevity.

Puppies spend their first weeks inside a warm home where they learn basic manners and social skills through daily interaction with adults, children and other pets. Early outings to nearby parks and quiet trails introduce varied sights and sounds, helping each puppy build confidence and adapt to new environments. All dogs receive regular veterinary exams, age-appropriate vaccinations and routine health monitoring before they join their new families.

Balassone’s breeding philosophy focuses on temperament, health testing and gentle handling rather than champion titles or show ring appearance. Past buyers often praise the dogs’ calm nature and the breeder’s transparent communication during the placement process.
