Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Windy Haven Farm located in Commiskey, IN. We have carefully raised puppies with wonderful temperaments that thrive in the performance ring and as our companions. Our goal is to produce puppies that are well rounded, true to breed standard, functional partners as well as faithful friends to their loving families.

Puppy prices range from $600 - $1,200 and include a non-refundable deposit of $300.

“The price will reflect the type of AKC registration as well as the age and show quality of the puppy. Puppy will come microchipped and up to date on worming and vaccination. A starter sample of food, toy or blanket, and pertinent paperwork will be sent home with the puppy. A deposit will only be required if it is requested that the breeder hold the puppy over two weeks before the new owner is able to take possession.”
