Meet the breeder

I'm Tammy W., the breeder behind Prairie Creek Puppies located in Lone Tree, IA. Our dogs live in our home and are part of our family until they become a part of your family. This makes our puppies so well socialized and affectionate. They are the sweetest little things. Puppies are dewormed starting at 2 weeks, they have a full vet health exam and are current on shots. We pride ourselves on how loveable our pups are and put alot into testing and careful breeding selection. Puppies will come to you with toys, a sample bag of dog food, a blanket that smells like momma as well as their immunization records.

Q. & A. with Tammy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I had dreamed of breeding since I was a young adult. It took a while to research and then get all the equipment and licenses I needed before finding the perfect breeding pair. For me breeding is pure joy, watching the puppies grow and developed is so rewarding and the biggest reward comes when I match each puppy with the perfect forever home.

  • What makes your program special?

    What makes our breeding program special isn't just the research and testing to ensure good healthy puppies, it's the pure love we have for our dogs and puppies. The time and energy we put into every aspect of breeding, whelping and raising these little cuties is what makes all the difference.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include sable and white, lilac, cream and white, silver, black and white, and brindle and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Tammy is nothing short of fabulous! She raises such good puppies! And she was wonderful about sending extra pics and videos before our pick up date. And wow! She had a customized folder with all of our little guy’s info, plus food, blanket, and toys. She is part of our family now.
