Meet the breeder
I'm Kim B., the breeder behind Maizy Mae's Moose Nuggets located in Machesney Park, IL. Hi, I'm Kimberly, a small home breeder dedicated to raising healthy, happy well adjusted puppies. Our dogs are a huge part of our family and will experience their first couple months of life in a loving home. My goal is to produce well-rounded puppies with great temperaments that will become wonderful companions for their forever family. Each puppy is raised in our home and exposed to everyday sights, sounds, and people of all ages, so they grow into confident, loving companions. Placing my puppies in the right home is just as important as raising them. I love getting to know the families who are interested in adopting from us and helping match each puppy with the perfect family. My goal is that every puppy leaves here well loved, healthy, and ready to bring years of joy to their new home.
