Meet the breeder
I'm Kelly B., the breeder behind H & M Acres Newfoundlands located in Sunman, IN. I strive to produce quality puppies that are structurally sound, healthy, intuitive and have wonderful temperaments. As a breeder, I feel a sense of responsibility to prioritize each of my puppies overall health and temperament and to ensure that they are loved and well cared for before joining their forever homes. All breeding dogs are health tested through Pennhip, OFA, & DNA to help make sure that we are living up to the highest standards of putting two sound dogs together. Puppies are vet checked, dewormed at 2, 4, 6, & 8 weeks, vaccinated at 6 & 9 weeks, microchipped, beginning potty training, socialized to indoor & outdoor sounds, flooring, dogs, cats, a pig, neighbors horses, large (loud) equipment, quads, motorcycles, etc. We keep our retired breeders & they live out the rest of their lives here with us, in our home. When you visit you will see grandma, aunts, cousins, & dad.

I devote my time, energy, and efforts to each litter to ensure my puppies are properly socialized from the moment they are born and prepared to excel in their forever homes.What makes your program special?
I cherish all of my animals and enjoy sharing the love of this wonderful breed with other individuals and families. 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. I have high expectations for my puppies and make sure to place each one in an enriching and loving home that will match their temperament and personality. I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families.Where do your breeding dogs live?
