Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Richnak Kennels located in Hemlock, MI. We offer beautiful pups from amazing, well-trained moms. Our puppies are well socialized with dogs of varying ages as well as horses and children. All are exposed to a wide range of noises and environments. Crate training and potty training are already being worked on. We are happy to tell you more about what life with a German Shepherd or Siberian Husky is like and how they will not only enhance your daily life, but exceed your expectations! Puppies require a non refundable deposit to hold until they are able to go home.

Kelli’s experience

  • About Kelli

    I have been working with dogs for over 20 years. I am very involved in my program, my dogs are companions first and foremost. I decided to responsibly breed them as a way to connect my pups to others that will love them as much as I do. It's so fulfilling to have the opportunity to create companionship and love and to see the positive effect that a beloved, furry companion can have on its family!

  • What makes Kelli’s program special

    Through creating an environment of serenity and care for my puppies, I know I am able to give each precious pup the very best chance to reach their potential, express their unique personality, and have a loving, well-rounded temperament. I carefully screen each home and ensure that all my puppies go to families that are complementary to the breed traits. My pups are well-equipped to thrive in their forever homes. I want nothing more than to see each and every one of them shine!

    Kelli was super responsive and good with giving us updates on our puppy. Marcy came to us very healthy and clean, she was everything we could have hoped for.
