Meet the breeder
I'm Maddy M., the breeder behind Maddy McKinney located in West Salem, IL. Our goal is to provide families with loving companions. We love to follow the dogs journey of life with families as they send us photos of them growing. When we have them we try to socialize them with other dogs, and animals. As well as get a jump start on learning correct manners.

About Vegas
Vegas is a dog with a lot of personality. Her name fits her perfectly. She lives in my house with me, and is basically my child. She enjoys time outside as well as lounging on the couch on a gloomy day. She is a great companion. Travels well, listens well, and was a very easy dog to train in my aspects. I have horses and trail ride, she loves to tag along. She has traveled to Wyoming, South Dakota, and many trips in the Midwest with me. She is the best travel companion I could ask for.

Maddy was amazing from the start. Very attentive and responsive, you can really tell she cares about her dogs. The entire process was painless and my puppy came to me happy, healthy and well-adjusted! Maddy was kind enough to meet us at the airport with all of pup’s paperwork and a bag of goodies, and she left us with her information in case we needed anything else. Thank you Maddy!
