I'm the breeder behind Echo Shilohs located in Indianapolis, IN. I am a Registered Veterinary Technician in Surgical Medicine and apply my schooling and knowledge to my breeding program. I strive to breed healthy, sound dogs that families can enjoy for years to come. My puppies are raised in my home, are litter box and doggy door trained, and go through a litter evaluation before being placed.
About Mindy
My life revolves around my dogs and meeting their needs both socially and medically. I strive to bring you the healthiest, most well-rounded puppies. My dogs are a huge part of my life, and I enjoy spending time with them; whether that be through completing our various day-to-day activities together or just cuddling up at night.
What makes Mindy’s program special
I strive to breed healthy, quality pups that can fit any lifestyle. The health and temperament of my puppies are my number one priority and I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy and genetically tested. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, socializing, and training my pups. I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families.

Mindy has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies. You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion. Together, you'll choose the puppy that's right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Puppy prices range from $4,000 - $4,500 and include a non-refundable deposit of $500.
“Pricing is for pet quality vs breeding quality dogs and includes a vet check, microchip, and first vaccines. A wait list holding fee of $500, is accepted and compliance with other terms of the contracts is paid to Echo Shiloh’s. No other warranties or conditions are either expressed or implied. This is a waiting list fee, and is non-refundable. If Echo Shilohs is unable to find a suitable puppy from the first available litter, the monies are applied towards the purchase price of a puppy from a future litter, or an adult dog for a term of 3 years from signed agreement. Buyer agrees to make full payment by the time the puppies are 6 weeks old, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing. Failure of doing so will put you on the next available litter. The order of waiting list fee is received, is the order in which you are placed on the waiting list.”
Mindy may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Mindy offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Mindy directly.
Our puppies enjoy a version of Puppy Culture. They are litter trained from 3 weeks old and then before they leave they are doggy door trained to go potty outside. They have weekly visitors, and get to go out on a weekly basis once they are old enough. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Socialized in new places, Socialized with children, Surface & tactile stimulation, Car rides, Various sounds, Socialized with other animals, Introduced to people of different ages and appearances, Socialized with other dogs, Daily handling, Noise Desensitization, Various Surfaces, Doggy Door Training, Litter Box Trained, Outdoors (when Weather permits), Car Rides, Texture stimulation, Strangers, Structures, e.g. Climbing, Chew, e.g. Bone, Grooming Desensitization, Household Desensitization, Sound Stimulation, Toys, e.g. Ball, Early Neurological Stimulation, Socialized with Cats, Socialized with Adult Dogs, and Socialized with Children.
All puppies are vet checked between 7-8 weeks of age and given their first vaccine and a microchip prior to going to their new home .
We send our puppies home with Registration, Blanket with mom & littermates’ scent, Microchip, Vet records, Toys, Initial potty training, Puppy starter kit, and Puppy Starter Kit.
Mindy offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
“Due to COVID, we do not offer shipping. You are required to come to Indiana or my co-owner's location to pick up your puppy. Some people fly in and drive home, others drive both ways.”
Work with a trusted transporter to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at an airport or meeting point close to home.

Everything went perfect. Mindy maintained consistent communication the whole time and she paired me with the perfect puppy. She will continue to be a great resource throughout this puppy’s life.
