I'm Mikayla S., the breeder behind Hydrangea Hills Farm located in Lake City, MI. Our dogs are bred with excellent health and amazing temperament. Everyone is working on training for therapy work as well as earning their CGC titles through AKC. We strive to produce not only beautiful quality in structure but the temperament to match.
Q. & A. with Mikayla
Why did you start breeding?
I was raised on a small family dairy farm, caring for animals, and welcoming little ones into the world has always been a love of mine. It's bred into me to love animals so to say. I loved welcoming new kittens every spring and naming them all and finding them homes. I researched breeds that fit our lifestyle and talked with breeders before falling in love with first corgis, and now Barbets for their impeccable temperament.
What makes your program special?
I am a stay at home mom giving 110% to my kids and dogs. We make it a family affair to raise and train each of our dogs into excellent companions. It is my goal to produce excellent temperament for wonderful families seeking therapy minded dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include brown and white, brown, black and white, and black. 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.
