I'm Amy G., the breeder behind Sycamore Ridge Puppies located in West Plains, MO. Our dogs are bred for health, temperament, and intelligence. We strive to produce the best overall pets and family members. We commit ourselves towards preparing each one of our puppies to thrive in their new homes, and we enjoy working with their new families so that they can raise their beloved companions with confidence!
Q. & A. with Amy
Why did you start breeding?
Before becoming a teacher I worked as a Veterinary Assistant for five years. My husband and I always dreamed of having our own litters of puppies to love and raise.
What makes your program special?
Our dogs are AKC registered, and part of our family. They divide their time between our home and their temperature controlled kennel connecting to their one acre yard. Our puppies are well socialized and loved. All puppies come up to date on vaccinations, worming, microchipped, vet. health certificate, and starter pack that includes a toy, 8 lb bag of food, chewies, blanket, and wet food to get you started.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

A really great experience! Found the exact puppy we wanted. Amy is very helpful and quick to respond to questions and advice. She set up transportation for the puppy to be delivered. Transport company was cool. They sent a link to an app so we could track them on the entire trip. We are all in love with our pup. She is smart and a constant source of entertainment.

Amy was fantastic! She was quick to respond to my questions before placing a deposit. After deciding to purchase one of her puppies she sent photos updates of my puppy every few weeks. She also sent up the delivery service that delivered my puppy to me.
