Meet the Owner

Hey y'all, I'm Nakayla!

As a kid, I wanted to be a Veterinarian when I grew up. Somehow, I ended up pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology with a Minor in Social Work. I later went on to pursue a Master's Degree in Human Services. My goals & achievements have always been service oriented; except now, I'm here to provide a service for you & your dog.

In my free time I enjoy random DIY projects, spending time with my loved ones, & traveling to see the world. In the future I hope to increase the capacity at Champ STRONG Kennels to be able to care for more dogs, as well as employ students or anyone pursuing a career in the pet care field.

History of Champ STRONG

I first welcomed Champ home in January of 2011 & he was there for many of the milestones in my life. Through good times & the bad, he was one of the things in my life that always remained good. He was always excited to see me & brighten my days. He was hands down, without a doubt, the best dog ever.


In June of 2017 Champ developed ulcers on his corneas, which led to infection & him having an emergency surgery. Sadly he lost his left eye but his right eye was

saved with a graft. Over $2,000 in medical bills added up so I began selling "Champ STRONG" t-shirts & apparel to help cover the costs. Champ was with me for one more year until his health started to decline & he passed away on "Good Friday", May 30, 2018. Like his name, in the end he put up a good fight, but thankfully he no longer has to.

After Champ passed away, I no longer had a dog of my own to care for so I went from selling Champ STRONG apparel to offering pet care for others. Champ is the reason & inspiration behind my brand & my logo features his actual paw print from his final moments here. His memory will forever live on through my brand & through Champ STRONG Kennels.

Special thanks to my oldest sister for the name inspiration. #ChampSTRONG
