I'm the breeder behind Puppies by Piper located in Portland, MI. As a breeder, I am relatively new to the field, with my second litter of puppies now ready to find their forever homes, and with my upcoming retirement, my focus is shifting towards my passion for breeding, ensuring that each pup receives the utmost care and attention they deserve.
About Nancy
I have always owned family pets. From before I can remember, I grew up on a farm always surrounded by animals. I love animals and especially the companionship of a dog. There has never been a time in my life that I have not had at least 2 dogs in my life, and at times, many dogs, cats, rabbits, horses and cows. I live on my families farm and my dogs have plenty of room to run.
What makes Nancy’s program special
Love and lots of hands on time with the puppies. Each pup is a part of our family. They are born inside our home and are cared for day and night. Our pups are loved and handled by children and adults from the time they are born. Each of them receives the love and care that is needed to help them grow into the confident, healthy and well adjusted dog.
