I'm the breeder behind Wodan Kennels located in Raeford, NC. We are a small kennel that strives to produce dogs who have the capability to work in all sport venues and working confirmation. Our dogs are only bred after extensive health testing. We specialize in producing dogs who are healthy and have a strong working temperament. All of our puppies are raised in our home with ongoing temperament testing to ensure the right puppy for the right family! We look forward to connecting with you.

What makes yvette’s program special
Our puppies are raised in our home, and we strive to help each one grow up with confidence so they are ready to leave with their new families. They are provided with daily stimulation which includes playing on agility equipment, trips to local farms, and introduction to children of all ages. We also make a special effort to allow our puppies to meet and greet children and adults who have handicaps.

yvette 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.

Puppy prices range from $2,600 and include a deposit of $500.
“This price includes our written health guarantee, AKC/UKC registration, puppy vaccines, deworming, a microchip, embark DNA, and a certificate of health from the veterinarian. Deposit can be transferred to another litter if no puppies are born that match the needs of the family, or if we both agree the puppy doesn’t meet the needs of the buyer.”
yvette may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If yvette offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to yvette directly.
We do all that we can to expose our puppies to new situations. We provided them with controlled experiences to help them during their crucial development periods. We provide weekly and daily updates in our private group. In this group we have videos and photos of each individual puppy and how they are maturing. These videos are unedited an allow the new owners good insight into their puppies behavior. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Crate Training, House Training, Basic Manners, Various Surfaces, Sound Stimulation, Socialized with Adult Dogs, Socialized with Other Animals, and Puppy Culture.
Puppies will have 2 veterinary exams, microchip, vaccines, and have been dewormed and started on heart worm medication. The puppies will also be embark tested prior to going to their new families.
We send our puppies home with Puppy Starter Kit, Puppy Collar, Breed Club Registration, Microchip, Food Starter Bag, Certificate of Health, Bone, and Blanket with Mom's Scent.
yvette offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
“We ask that new owners come to pick up the puppy and spend 3 days with us for training. Other arrangements can be made based on the needs of the new owner.”
Work with a trusted transporter to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at an airport or meeting point close to home.
Why yvette started breeding
I started to look for a smaller herding breed who could play sports and herd but still be a good family dog. After researching breeds we feel in love with the Mudi. Our goal is to produce dogs who were physically sound, easy to care for, and have a strong working drive with a good off switch. Breeding is our passion, not a hobby, and we are dedicated to finding the best dogs for our breeding program.
