I'm Lindsey A., the breeder behind UpNorth Pups located in Lake Bronson, MN. We breed high-quality puppies. We love what we do and are committed to producing well-bred, healthy puppies for loving homes. It’s been such a pleasure to be able to watch every stage of puppy life! We’re so lucky to be able to do this and match wonderful families with our perfect puppies.
Q. & A. with Lindsey
Why did you start breeding?
I remember people always telling me, find what you love to do, and do it! It's been a little over a year now since I left the corporate world to focus more on my family and dogs. I would have never guessed in a million years that I'd be raising puppies. 3 years later, I'm still in love with every one of my babies. I thank God that I found what I love to do, and I'm doing it!
What makes your program special?
We truly love all of our babies and want nothing but the best for them. Lindsey works with families a ton to be sure their new puppy is a good fit for their family. Lindsey is amazing at helping people understand the breeds, generations, genetics, and allergy concerns.
We are not going to tell you what you want to hear just so you purchase a puppy from my family.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
