I'm Sarah T., the breeder behind Chilly Peckers Farm located in Frederic, MI. It is our goal to produce adorable, affectionate puppies that are healthy, well-tempered, and make wonderful companions. Our dogs stole our hearts right from the start and we found ourselves wanting to get more involved. Breeding was a natural next step and we haven’t looked back since!
