Meet the breeder

I'm Scott P., the breeder behind Millstone Kennel located in Freetown, MA. Our sole purpose is to breed for the betterment of the breed. We have a very small program consisting of only 6 total dogs. Each dog has had all their genetic testing done as well as OFA eyes, hearts, hips and elbows.

Q. & A. with Scott

  • What makes your program special?

    I truly believe we stick out because our dogs are our pets and we really put so much into what we do. We are a family of 6 and our children are equally involved. Which truly is wonderful for child experience, socialization and desensitization.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Bernese Mountain Dog puppies include black tan and white and black rust and white. Golden Retriever puppies include dark golden, golden, and light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
