Scruffypups
Meet the breeder
I'm Chai O., the breeder behind Scruffypups located in Dorr, MI. From my family to yours, we produce long-lived, healthy, adventure-ready companions with excellent temperaments and personalities! Our dogs are bred for health and longevity of life, focused on functionality and versatility. The adult dogs are kept as companions, living in the house, and sharing my bed. We frequent local dog sports, dabbling in everything from hunting to sledding, herding, weight pull, and more to prove how versatile these dogs are.
