Meet the breeder

I'm Michelle G., the breeder behind Bydand Newfoundlands & Whimsical Havanese located in Sebeka, MN. I have been breeding for 26 years. I am active in showing my dogs in conformation and I have produced many conformation champions, working titles-water titles, draft titles, many therapy dogs, but most importantly of all the titles I can brag about, I'm most thrilled with all the wonderful dogs I have placed into so many loving homes through the years. I do health testing on all my adult breeding dogs, including, hips, elbows, echo doppler heart exams by a board certified cardiologist, cystinuria, and pattela's. All puppies are sent home after a physical exam and a cardiology check of their heart. Pups typically go home around 9 weeks of age. Puppies will go home up to date with shots, I send them home with a puppy package with many goodies. I register my pups for my families with AKC.

Q. & A. with Michelle

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Newfoundland puppies include black and brown. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Matched dogs

These dogs are already reserved or have gone home.

Getting a puppy from Michelle

Michelle has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Michelle partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 8 weeks old.

“Once I evaluate the pups at 8 weeks, structurally, energy, and temperament. Then I review the what each home is wanting in their puppy. I strive to match the puppy I feel is best suited to each home based on the individual puppies evaluations and on the information the household has provided to me. ”

Price

Puppy prices include a $500 refundable deposit and $3,500 final payment, before taxes & fees.

“Pups are placed on a limited AKC registration. A co-owned show/breeding contract is available to experienced show and/or breeding homes. Pups come with a one year guarantee on hips and heart. Up to date on shots, and go home with a puppy go home kit. After getting acquainted, I will offer a spot on my current litter, a $500 down payment is required to hold the spot. It is fully refundable provided the refund is requested prior to birth OR if I don't have what you are wanting. If I DO have what you have reserved, the down payment becomes non-refundable.”

Contract & health guarantee

Michelle 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 Michelle 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 Michelle directly.
