Valentine Kennels

Valentine Kennels, a shiba inu breeder in Somerset, KY, sits in Pulaski County and the Lake Cumberland region near Lexington. Mallorie Kee has bred shiba inu for over ten years and holds American Kennel Club membership with annual patella and ophthalmologist screenings for her adult dogs.

Puppies explore varied stimuli, from gentle household sounds to short outdoor visits, to build confidence and adaptability. All dogs live indoors with daily access to secure outdoor runs, where they follow a nutrition plan designed alongside a veterinary nutritionist. The kennel began in a small farm setting where Kee emphasized calm temperament and proper social skills alongside breed standards. Many families comment on how quickly their puppy bonds with new companions and adjusts to house routines. Kee provides detailed notes on each puppy’s feeding and training progress, sharing photos to support families through the first weeks. Each puppy leaves with organized health records, vaccination schedules, and a small care package to ease its first days in a new home.
