I'm BRIGITTE D., the breeder behind Fox Hill Farm & K9 located in Amesbury, MA. We are a small family in-home breeder who prioritize health & temperament tested dogs. Our cattle dogs tend to be on the smaller side. We own a small private horse farm and training facility. While we cherish all of our animals, we are especially passionate about our puppies!
