Meet the breeder

I'm Amy M., the breeder behind Michigan Spinone located in Albion, MI. We are committed to premium care and socialization of all of our dogs and puppies. We have worked hard to earn our reputation as a trusted, friendly, reliable breeder! We are committed to all our puppies we place for their entire lives. We are always here for you! We are not a typical breeder with 15 or more mature dogs that constantly churn out puppies. We truly believe in quality over quantity. There will be times when we do not have any puppies available and hope you can understand our reasoning behind this. Rest assured, more are on the way, but never at the expense of our animal's health and safety. We have references and you can contact our vets who see our dogs on a regular basis.
