Meet the breeder

I'm Reuben Y., the breeder behind Rustic Barn Kennels located in Saint Ignatius, MT. We breed high-quality puppies. We love what we do and are committed to producing well-bred, healthy puppies for loving homes. Our puppies become integral members of our family. They’re a daily part of everything we do until they’re ready to join their forever families. It is the clean air, mountain view and lots of love that make our puppies so special!

Q. & A. with Reuben

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I got my first dog when I was 13, a dachshund crossed with a rat terrier. I’ve been interested in dogs and raising them ever since. When I met my wife, Rachel, she didn’t like dogs and I had to convince her how much fun they are and now she loves our Corgis.

  • What makes your program special?

    We take the health of our puppies extremely seriously making sure they are health tested and have the best start with wonderful healthy parents. We have such a love for our puppies as well as our parent dogs. Very soon after starting our breeding program, we decided to invest in a very nice kennel that gives all of our dogs a very comfortable home. They have plenty of outdoor play room just outside the kennel when they are not outside running in our yard playing with our family.

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

    Our puppies include white and fawn, fawn, sable, white and black, white and red, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in a kennel on my property.

    Working with Rueben at Rustic Barn Kennels was one of the best experiences ever in getting a pup. He answered all my questions, provided all records and food for my little girl. He was respectful and courteous in every way and has followed up with me twice since I brought her home 2-1/2 weeks ago. Couldn’t be happier with Rueben or the puppy. Great experience.
