THREE DECADES OF MAKING LIVES BRIGHTER
Three decades of devotion, carried forward.
Meraki K9 is the new name for the work begun as About Time Cane Corso and About Time Italian Greyhounds—now bringing three breeding programs and professional training under one home.
MADE WITH MERAKI
The soul, creativity and love put into one’s work.
That meaning guides every pairing, puppy, training plan and relationship with a family. The program has grown, but the standard remains rooted in health, temperament, function, honest education and responsibility for life.
Based in Los Lunas, New Mexico, USA, Meraki K9 serves families throughout the United States and has experience with personal delivery and international arrangements.
THE Meraki K9 LEGACY
A life’s work, still unfolding.
From the About Time foundation to today’s Meraki K9 family, each chapter reflects the same commitment to capable dogs, thoughtful breeding and lifelong responsibility.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
Breed the whole dog.
Structure without stable temperament is not enough. Drive without control is not enough. Beauty without health or function is not enough. The goal is a complete dog: thoughtfully selected, appropriately raised and honestly matched.
The breeder’s responsibility continues beyond purchase. Written protections, training help, education and a home-for-life promise are intended to keep every Meraki K9 dog safe.
