Missy’s experience

  • What makes Missy’s program special

    Our program is special bc me & my children enjoy it with passion. Our kids put their lil hearts into the love of the puppies. Our adult dogs are our family they don’t reside in bars daily they are with us & work with us on the farm & go on trips occasionally with us. We enjoy them so much!

Getting a puppy from Missy

Missy 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.

Price

Puppy prices range from $850 - $1,250 and include a non-refundable deposit of $250.

“Our tris are around $850 & Merle’s are $1250. Occasionally we will have some mismarks that we sell at HUGE discounted prices but are vet checked to make sure the quality of life is not hindered. All of our deposits are non refundable. We do offer to carry the deposit over on to the next 3 litters. After 3 more litters and you still haven’t picked a pup for your reasons not ours you will forfeit that deposit and will have to put a new one down when you are ready.”
