Purina Breeder Enthusiast

Meet The Breeder Enthusiast Team

We are competitors, trainers, breeders and handlers. And while we’re employed by Purina, we work for you. That’s why you’ll find us beside you; at cat and dog shows, field trials and sporting dog events. Cheering pets to victory and lifting them up after defeat.

Like you, we’ve bred pets to compete and to make homes complete. And because of these experiences, we understand how nutrition, training, support and guidance can make a huge difference in your pet’s journey.
