I'm Lisa S., the breeder behind Dream Star Schapendoes located in Carmel, IN. I am a dedicated small animal veterinarian and Schapendoes breeder, owner, and trainer.

Q. & A. with Lisa
Why did you start breeding?
As a small animal veterinarian, I appreciate the good health of breeds with no extreme features. As a mom, I appreciate a nice, stable temperament. The Schapendoes breed has it all. They are the perfect sized dogs and are so very friendly and welcoming.What makes your program special?
We focus on the health and welfare of our dogs and breed only functionally and clinically healthy dogs with breed typical conformation. Aggressive, overly shy, or any dog showing clear physical or behavioral abnormalities are disqualified from breeding.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
