I'm Julie B., the breeder behind M&J Country Kennels located in Boonville, IN.

Our puppies are well cared for and socialized from the day they are born. We are dedicated to bringing warm and friendly puppies to loving families.
Q. & A. with Julie
Why did you start breeding?
We got started out in breeding unintentionally, which sounds odd when saying out loud. We had two beautiful Collies that we loved so much and decided before we spayed/neutered them we would let them have one litter, well that did it. We received so much joy from the experience, even though painful to see them leave, we loved the new families excitement and the ability to raise such loving pups.
What makes your program special?
We take great pride in our puppies and with each litter we strive to continually improve our bloodlines, improve the health, temperament and beauty of each of our breeds. We are a small family breeder so each of our dogs/puppies receive a lot of love and attention daily.
What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Collie puppies have rough coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Shih Tzu puppies include gold, gold and white, and black gold and white. Collie puppies include black white and tan, blue merle, and white. Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppies include fawn and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Julie was very knowledgeable about the breed and she was very quick to respond to any and all questions. We met Peanut ( now Painter) and he was just perfect. He has moved right into our lives and our hearts 💕. Thanks so much!

Julie lived in IN and I lived in TN. They met me half way. Gave me starter food, reviewed puppy DNA results and gave me copy of their Vet visits with dates of vaccines. Showed me how to register puppy with AKC and reviewed other important paperwork. Puppy was healthy and happy said my Vet after a couple follow up vaccine and check up visits.

We had a fantastic experience with Good Dog and with Julie. We communicated for about a week via text and phone calls with Julie before making the 6.5 hour drive from GA to IN to get Evie. Julie was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions, both prior to our adopting Evie and even after we got home. She was a great resource. After doing a nationwide search for a collie puppy we are so glad we found Julie and are thrilled to have our new pup home.

M and J Kennels were wonderful to me through the process! I needed to wait a few weeks until Molly was 8 weeks old and that gave me time to get everything she needed and to read about the breed because I had never had a Shih Tzu before. Julie was great to answer all my questions. She is an expert and her advice was wonderful. Molly has been here a week now. She is totally potty-trained! She is precious and confident. She is very easy-going and she loves the two Chihuahuas we have. Now that she is potty trained, she can 'run with the big dogs' around the house and she loves that! Best puppy I ever had! We love her dearly and she fits right in!
