Meet the breeder
I'm Michelle P., the breeder behind Saddle Creek West located in Duvall, WA. I'm focused on breeding athletic dogs with fantastic temperaments that will make stellar family pets. My program only uses health and temperament-tested adults, producing well-rounded, healthy puppies that will become beloved members of your family! I work hard to breed healthy, happy puppies, and I take great pride in my breeding program.
Q. & A. with Michelle
Why did you start breeding?
I’ve spent years searching for good Lab breeders, and am always on the lookout for high-quality, healthy puppies that have the potential to be service dogs. I finally decided it was time to start breeding some of my own!What makes your program special?
So much time and love are put into our puppies! While I know that not every pup in each litter will grow up to become a service dog, I'm are confident that each one will become a treasured family member. I do loads of early socialization and training to set them up for success!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
