Meet the breeder

I'm Hunter D., the breeder behind Kurczak Farm LLC located in Fife Lake, MI. I chose my breeding program pair with a herding, agility and show background. I am breeding these 2 amazing dogs because it was really hard for me to find the dogs I wanted on my farm. This pair are very obedient, temperament tested around toddlers, cats, poultry, goats, other dogs & herd trials.

Q. & A. with Hunter

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I want to provide a good herding dog, but also a good companion for those seeking herding, agility and pets. The reason is that I looked a long time to find a good line of ACD. When I found the stumpy tail line I was really impressed! They are agile, loyal, easy to train and very fun! I wanted to offer an option for people in the Midwest that is of good, proven lines without having to ship from Texas.

  • What makes your program special?

    My dogs are special because I love them. I am not a dog breeder, I am a loving farmer that wants to provide a good, loyal, friendly, herding dog that is pre-exposed to children, socialized to people, and given the best life possible while still allowing them to work and play as that is when they are most happy.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include blue speckled, blue mottled, and blue. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Hunter was very responsive and professional. He thoroughly answered all of my questions and truly cares about his pups. Matilda has been amazing and is growing like a weed. She is incredibly smart and has an amazing temperament. She is quickly winning over my older pups and has never met a stranger. We absolutely love her and highly recommend Kurczak Farm!

    We had a wonderful experience with finding a new puppy. Hunter was very informative and kept us updated weekly with puppy updates. We had lost our dog after 10 years and they made the process smooth and easy. I would definitely recommend them! We love our new addition to our family!

    Good Dog made the process of finding the right breeder incredibly easy and stress-free. Their platform helped me identify the best match for my needs, and I felt confident every step of the way. I ultimately connected with Hunter at Kurczak Farm LLC, and the experience was fantastic. Communication was clear and professional, and I couldn’t be happier with my puppy, Montana. She’s the perfect mix of sass and sweetness—so much fun and full of personality. I’m grateful for such a positive experience and would absolutely recommend both Good Dog and Kurczak Farm to anyone looking for a new furry companion.

    I highly recommend Hunter from Kurczak Farm. They were so responsive and provided regular updates on our girl Bellami. They sent home a wonderful bag of all things a new puppy would need and a well documented history of all of her vet visits and other pertinent information. I am very thankful for the fantastic care they provided. My vet was impressed with how social, friendly and outgoing Bellami was at her first appointment after we brought her home. We are so happy to have her join our family. Good Dog made the entire process easy and very straightforward. I highly recommend both Hunter and Good Dog.

    The people at Kurczak Farm are some of the sweetest people you will ever meet. It was a very smooth process with them. They will answer any and all questions and they are very responsive. I could not have asked for better people to raise pups at the start of their lives. From the genuine love they have for the animals to how thorough they are, I am forever grateful.
