Susan Colehower- Calypso Kennels

Susan Colehower- Calypso Kennels, a Boston terrier and Labrador retriever breeder in Peotone, IL, serves Will County and Chicago area. It follows American Kennel Club standards and ensures routine health evaluations for hips and eyes.

Puppies are raised in a home environment alongside family activities, with daily socialization and basic obedience exposure. Adults live on well maintained acreage where they enjoy supervised play in secure exercise areas. Some alumni have excelled in local obedience trials and support therapy dog programs, reflecting a focus on balanced temperament and health.

The kennel environment blends open indoor living with climate-controlled sleep areas, allowing dogs to adapt to different spaces while receiving constant human interaction. Breeding adults are selected for sound nervous systems and conformation consistent with breed standard, with pedigrees reviewed for multiple generations. Each puppy begins supervised outings in the yard and short trips outdoors to foster confidence and gentle handling before joining new families.
