Breeding coloured French Bulldogs and Pugs with health, temperament, and personality at the heart of everything we do.

Le Epitome Kennels is a boutique, family-run kennel based in the Waikato, centrally located within New Zealand's Golden Triangle.

Olivia, our breeding expert, has over 30 years of experience breeding brachycephalic dog breeds. We are registered with DogsNZ and the Master Dog Breeders Association.

Our dogs are raised in our busy family home with plenty of stimulation, outdoor adventures, music, water, and everyday family life, helping our puppies grow into confident, well-adjusted companions.

We believe in raw feeding as nature intended. With over 20 years of raw feeding experience and more than 10 generations of raw-fed dogs behind us, the results speak for themselves.
