Melanie has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.
After buyers complete the application and screening process, Melanie partners with them to find the best puppy match.

“Price reflects a premier start for companions and working dogs, and includes first vet visit, vaccines, deworming, and registered microchips. A deposit on an Aussiedoodle secures a specific puppy, while a deposit on a Sarplaninac secures a spot in the litter for pick at 6 weeks old.”
Melanie may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Melanie offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Melanie directly.
When you pay and communicate on Good Dog, you’re covered by Payment Protection.
You can drive or fly to pick up your puppy from Melanie.

About Kiowa
Introducing Kiowa (Watson’s War Cry of the Kiowa), our stunning red merle dam registered with the American Stock Dog Registry (ASDR). Weighing in at a sturdy 35 pounds, Kiowa is one of our larger, beautifully built miniatures with a coat that turns heads and a pair of unforgettable, piercing blue eyes. Kiowa is a total water baby—if there is a pool, a hose, or a puddle nearby, you can bet she is happily splashing in it! She is also a certified foodie who is always highly motivated and eager to learn if a tasty treat is involved. With her gorgeous breed-standard looks, fun-loving personality, and excellent build, she is an incredible asset to our program.

About Poodle Bob
Meet “Poodle Bob”, our handsome 20-pound Miniature Poodle sire! Poodle Bob is the definition of a gentle soul—he is incredibly affectionate, deeply laid-back, and his absolute favorite thing in the world is going for car rides. He has a heart of gold and has formed a beautiful, inseparable bond as the ultimate best friend to our five-year-old son. Poodle Bob has completed full health and genetic testing. He carries a single copy of CDDY (IVDD risk), meaning we strictly and responsibly pair him only with fully clear females to ensure the health and longevity of his puppies. With his stellar, family-first temperament and balanced conformation, he brings both incredible personality and peace of mind to our breeding program.

A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
Multiple Drug Sensitivity (MDR1), PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd), DNA Disease Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
