About Us            

Hi! I'm Deb Kisgen. I grew up on a ranch in South Dakota, rodeoing and attempting (LOL) to train horses. My grandfather, Wayne Evridge, gave me a great respect and love for animals. He taught me a great deal about breeding. He raised top quality quarter horses and was a National Youth Director for the American Quarter Horse Association for many, many years. He was one of four people chosen by the AQHA to select the site for the Quarter Horse Hall of Fame. I learned so much from him and miss him dearly.

I chose the Chinese Crested breed because they look like little horses. I am also chemical sensitive and very allergic but Chinese Cresteds do not bother my allergies. After I got my first one, I was hooked! They are so amazing, beautiful and comical!

I currently live in Gillette, WY.

I breed for quality and constantly strive to raise the standard. My puppies are born in my bedroom where they remain until they are about 4 weeks old. The are handled daily and begin bonding at birth. I believe in imprinting puppies just as horses are imprinted. As soon as their eyes are open, they begin show training...LOL. At this time, I begin getting them comfortable with stacking on the grooming table.

At about one month old, the puppies are moved to the kitchen/living room where they become accustomed to many noises, people coming in and out, and other dogs (seperated by an ex pen, of course, to insure their safety.) The get handled, played with and loved dailey. All my adult dogs are cycled from their rooms to the living room dailey to be loved and handled. The puppies begin their house training by using puppy pads in their ex pen. All of my puppies homes are carefully selected.

We have several lines so we can provide you with very best of breeding stock. Many of our puppies go to show homes and many go to companion homes.

My husband, Mike, is a Production Supervisor at Powder River Coal and loves to fish on his off time. He is a wonderful man, my best friend and a loving "Dad" to all of the dogs! LOL. We have three beautiful daughters. Check out their pictures below. Stevi is a cosmetologist in Cincinatti, OH. Alysia works at a coal mine and lives in Gillette. Brooke is going to school at South Dakota School of Mines & Technology in Rapid City, SD. She is pursuing an RN degree. We also have a foreign exchange daughter, Monica Leguizamo, from Columbia. She is now in Bogata, Columbia to attend the university and pursue her degree in international business.

I am an International Exchange Coordinator for EF (Education Foundation) which allows me the priveledge of placing and supervising exchange students from around the world. We are always looking for host families! Becoming a host parent provides the most wonderful opportunity to learn about other cultures, make lifetime friends around the world, and be a blessing to our students. If you are interested in hosting or want more information, please contact me at deb@cedarfrost.com .

I have several brothers and sisters who still ranch, rodeo, train or raise horses. My nephew Cole won the team roping for the state of Texas two years in high school. He ended up 11th in the Nation one of those years. My neice, Jess, won the Pole bending for the Nation in high school a few years ago. She also won first in the nation this year in the breakaway roping at the college national finals. All of my daughters and neices and nephews have accomplished so much and we are so proud of them all!
