US Breeder of the adorable and rare Japanese Spitz.  Dedicated to breeding quality puppies who make great companions, show dogs and all around great dogs.  We are a small kennel located in Southwestern Texas.  We are a military family and were previously stationed in Hawaii where this all began.

Konalae Kennels came to be while we were stationed with the US Navy in Hawaii.  I became very interested in the breed in 2003 and began doing more research and found this was indeed the breed for me and so I adopted my first Japanese Spitz, Nani.  She was a delight and our entire family fell in love with her and the breed and so began Konalae Japanese Spitz.

Since this time I have adopted several more Japanese Spitz.  I started with an import from Australia to mate with my Nani girl. His name is Australian Champion Missetsu Phantom Warrior or Warry for short.  Next came Missetsu Shirio Hato, Holly, also from Australia.  Then we were transferred to Texas and more imports joined us there, Lady Dinga of Beyond, Mia, from New Zealand, and Aya-San's Charming Cute Norwegian, Jasna, from Denmark next came from North Carolina, Red Ridges Sweet Isabella, Izzy and finally Houndbrae Victor, Toby from the UK.  I co-own a great pup from Sweden, Isumi's Shiro Natsuko O'Ichi, Bella, with Katrina of Kiraleea JS in Wisconsin and I'm in process of importing another female from Italy...  we're working on a name for her : )  Plus I have kept two pups from last years litter, Miley stayed with us and Ausra is co-owned with my brother.  I'm looking forward to what we can do and where we're headed!

My dogs are members of my family and we love our dogs with everything we have.  My children help me raise the puppies and show the dogs with me in as many shows as I can get them to.  We've found a great hiking trail close to home that the dogs love, very rocky though, but lots of fun. I think Warry's favorite part is the squirels ; ) he sure does like to chase them!
