Sandi’s experience

  • About Sandi

    Deer Creek is a family centered business. Family and family friends all play an integral part in every aspect of our program. From grooming, photography, social media and web design to puppy enrichment, health coordinating, caretaking and training, we all wear equally important hats and work as a team to better the lives of our dogs and get their message and skills into the world.

  • What makes Sandi’s program special

    Our program has been tailored to produce as many service/therapy dog quality temperaments as we can in our puppies to reach our goal of helping others through our dogs. We are very involved in the community with our therapy work and love the opportunity to make a difference. With over 20 years concentration on temperament, health and trainability we are able to produce dogs that truly shine.
