Super City Kennels
Meet the breeder
I'm Michele H., the breeder behind Super City Kennels located in Metropolis, IL. Our family got our first boxer in 2005, Pop. He was a whopper over 100 lbs. He died at the age of 10 in 2015 of cancer just one month before we got our girl, Belle. Belle is now retired, but she is the mother of all my dams. In 2019, I decided I needed a lap dog in my life, thus Cookie the Shihtzu.

We had a very good experience with Super City Kennel. We adopted Simon (formerly known as Hutch). He is an absolute delight!!!

She agreed to meet with me to shorten my drive on pick up. She informed me that other puppies had gotten a common parasite and I should have Zeek tested. He did not have the parasite so his first weeks at home have been puppy fun. I would recommend Michele to anyone that is looking for a good puppy.

The whole process was smooth. Communication throughout the process was great with responses to questions or concerns usually the same day or within hours. The pickup process was smooth as well. This was my first time using Good Dog and I would recommend to other people looking to find a puppy or dog and would also recommend Super City Kennels for those looking to adopt a Boxer Puppy.

I recently purchased a dog from Michele with Super City Kennels, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the moment I reached out, she was kind, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable. It was clear she truly cares about her dogs and where they’re going. The puppy I got is not only adorable but also healthy, well-socialized, and clearly well cared for. She provided detailed information about the dog’s breed, health records, diet, and even was kind enough to meet me half way for the hand-off. It’s the small, thoughtful touches like that that really set her apart. I wholeheartedly recommend Michele to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and ethical breeder. She made the process easy and joyful — and thanks to her, I have a new best friend! Laura, Eddie and Carli.

Michele was wonderful to work with. She worked with me to be able to get my boxer home. She was attentive, Responsive, and easy to work with. I’m so happy I found her and her kennel. And I’m so happy that I found my Frankie through her.
