Meet the breeder

I'm Kathleen M., the breeder behind Ridgeruns OES located in Bristol, IN. We're experienced, passionate breeders dedicated to raising quality OES puppies! Our puppies are raised with love in our home, and we strive to help each one grow up with confidence so they are ready to thrive with their new families. It’s our top priority to make sure each of our puppy families welcomes a happy and healthy new family member into their homes!

Q. & A. with Kathleen

  • What makes your program special?

    Our dogs give back to us in so many ways. We strive to honor each of them for their unique personalities and strengths. They are in our home and part of our family. They sleep in our beds and go where we go. Our puppies get hands on attention from the very beginning. We begin ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) at just a few days of age...making it possible for you to take home a confident, happy puppy. One that has already been exposed to baths, hair dryers, noises, toys, meeting new people and car rides.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
