Q. & A. with Joyce
Why did you start breeding?
We were involved in fostering, volunteering and helping rescue/shelters until we became more addicted to different dog sports and fell in love with this unique, special Entlebucher breed! We discovered how important ethical, responsible breeding is to the future and decided to commit ourselves fully to help ensure diverse, healthy entitles with great temperaments for great companions or performance.What makes your program special?
We believe in the total package Entlebucher! We breed for robust health, solid-stable temperament, sound moderate structure, great type and beauty with talent in working ability! We focus on versatility being able to do it all but most of all, excelling as wonderful family companions. We offer our resources and support to our puppy families considering them our extended family!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
Getting a puppy from Joyce
Joyce 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.
Together, you’ll choose the puppy that’s right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Price
"All of our puppies are the same price unless there is a major fault or some health issue. We ask for a deposit once it's established there is a puppy available for you from a specific litter born. If for any reason you cannot take the puppy you put a deposit down for- we will refund your deposit. We do not believe money down should be the primary reason you feel you "have to" welcome a puppy to your home."
Contract & health guarantee
Joyce 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 Joyce 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 Joyce directly.

Geordi's temperament is excellent- he is outgoing, friendly, and loves to be the center of attention! Geordi has a strong work ethic and is eager to please; he is easily rewarded with toys, food, or praise. He is focussed, intense and driven while working; he has higher energy yet does have an "off" button. Geordi has solid bone and a moderate athletic build with balanced, sound structure. He has a natural bobtail and has completed all the health testing the parent club recommends.

Risa is our younger female; she is a spitfire, inquisitive, silly, always ready for adventure and a carefree daredevil. Risa is Jaylah's daughter and she is on the bigger side of the breed standard. Risa also has a natural bobtail. Risa is very fast and powerful, she competes in agility and nosework.

Jaylah, mom
Entlebucher Mountain Dog
About Jaylah
Jaylah is a wonderful representative of the breed! She is on the smaller side for a female; bold, curious, outgoing and friendly. Jaylah loves adventure and is a tenacious problem solver. She was imported from the Czech Republic to add to the genetic diversity in the U.S. and is the only natural bobtail breeding entlebucher currently in the U.S. Jaylah excels at agility and nosework. She is the best combination of performance drive, focus and yet with a solid off switch to chill out.
