Jans Kennels

Jans Kennels, Maltese, Pomeranian and Shih Tzu breeders in Downsville, LA, has welcomed small breed enthusiasts across Richland Parish near Monroe. Owner Janet Bricklen has been working with toy and terrier breeds for several years and follows recommendations from national breed clubs to guide health testing.

Puppies and adults share a home with daily social interaction, early exposure to household sounds and regular gentle handling. Clean indoor facilities open onto a securely fenced yard where dogs can exercise and explore under supervision. Each puppy completes recommended vaccinations and receives a veterinary exam before joining a family.

Families appreciate reports of sturdy health and gentle temperaments that suit both busy city apartments and rural settings. Occasional litters of Pekingese, Yorkshire terrier and West Highland white terrier extend the range of companions. The kennel’s homegrown atmosphere and hands-on approach help puppies build confidence and gentle manners.
