Meet the breeder

I'm Natalie T., the breeder behind Sweet Breeze Acres located in Mason, MI. Hello from Sweet Breeze Acres! We are a family of four, living on a farm with lots of awesome animals. We breed great dogs that are part of our family. Whether you want a guardian for your home, a companion for your adventures, a family pet, or dog for the kids... Here is a great place to start.

Q. & A. with Natalie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I started breeding dogs in our home in Kentucky actually. We had a litter of German shepherds and never looked back. I was hooked on raising amazing dogs and seeing them go to thrive in wonderful homes. It's so hard to find good dogs with health tested parents, breeder support, and a nice experience. We wanted to give that to people.

  • What makes your program special?

    We raise our puppies as part of the daily routine. They are exposed to life on the farm from day one. To exposure to sounds, smells, and a verity of things that help build their confidence. Daily handling of feet, mouths, ears etc. We also love to be part of our adopter's journey and always open to answer questions or help. Our adults are health tested, and you can come meet them if you desire.

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

    Our German Shepherd puppies include sable, black, black and red, black and tan, and bi-color. Golden Retriever puppies include golden and light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

    Natalie was wonderful. You can tell she loves all the dogs and is passionate about finding them good homes. I was amazed she could tell all those little balls of white fur apart! It was a great experience and we love our new little guy.

    We love our sweet angel ❤️ Natalie was amazing from the beginning with an adoption screening, all the information we would desire on her process and the required health checks. As first time dog owners, we couldn’t be more pleased. From the time we contacted her we recieved countless updates on the pups and momma, and regular live weigh ins on social media where we got the chance to interact with the pups virtually. She provides lots of enrichment for the puppies, tons of socialization, and she exposes them to so many new things when we got our pup home she was already a champ with loud noises and the vacuum. Even after bringing our puppy home she was open to answering all our questions no matter how silly. She truly cared for these animals. I truly don’t know how she does it all, but I would recommend anyone looking for a new furry friend to go through sweet breeze acres.
