Cali Kennel Estates

Cali Kennel Estates is a German shepherd dog breeder in Oroville, CA, in Butte County near Sacramento. Under the guidance of April Small-Southworth, the kennel follows guidelines from national breed organizations and screens all breeding dogs for hip and elbow issues.

Each puppy enjoys daily handling, early socialization and exposure to household sounds from the first weeks. Adults are housed in comfortable indoor stalls with access to secure outdoor runs for balanced activity. Nutrition is carefully managed through high-quality diets selected with veterinary input, and every dog has up-to-date health exams and vaccinations.

Owners often note the dogs’ steady temperament, intelligence and adaptability to family or working environments. The setting on a rural property provides ample space for tracking exercises and quiet life. Families appreciate ongoing support and guidance as puppies settle into new homes and grow into confident companions.
