I'm Willa & Melissa B., the breeder behind Sky & Ivy Farms located in Burna, KY. We raise our dogs in our home right alongside our family. We love being able to match our puppies with families that are the perfect fit for their personalities.
Q. & A. with Willa & Melissa
Why did you start breeding?
When I was growing up, my mother and my aunt worked together to raise and train dogs. I can't remember a time when we didn't have dogs, and now after 40 years of being a part of their breeding and training program, i am continuing what they started.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include parti and black and silver. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

They are excellent.
Throughout the entire process we were kept informed about our girls. They even drove over an hour to meet us to pick up the girls.
I have been remiss in sending them status updates about the Sophie and Phoebe. The girls are doing well. They travel well in the car, are full of energy, and are bundles of joy.
I thank them for allowing us to get the girls.

Willa and Melissa are good breeders who really care about their dogs. They corresponded with me regularly and sent pictures as the puppies grew. They provided us with records showing what vaccinations and medications had been given to our puppy so that the vet would be able to follow up. Our vet said our puppy was very healthy and had been given good care. The Good Dog process was easy in making the transaction safe. Would highly recommend buying a puppy from them and making the purchase through Good Dog.

Melissa was great with communication throughout the whole process. She sent photos and videos. Her family even started calling the puppy with his new name so he'd be familiar with it. They met us with the puppy at a location close to us and everything was seamless. Our puppy has an excellent temperament and so handsome.

Willa and Melissa were very responsive and so easy to work with. From the moment we showed interest to the day we were able to pick up our puppy they kept us up to date with how he was doing through messages and pictures. When we decided on a name they began calling our puppy by his name. He has been very well taken care of and is the sweetest best behaved puppy we have ever had. We highly recommend working with them!
