Q. & A. with Melinda
Why did you start breeding?
I started breeding when I was a young mother of 3 boys and just love raising puppies.What makes your program special?
I have plenty of experience with dogs and it's so rewarding to raise them with lots of socializing and love. I spend all night with the mother as she is whelping her litter to make sure she is comfortable and if she needs help I am there. I spend lots of one on one time with my puppies to make sure that they are happy, healthy and confident. They are exposed to many different surroundings and environments and well socialized! I make sure my breeding pair are the best to compliment each other and are Embark health tested. My puppies are dewormed every 2 weeks starting at 2 weeks old. They get their 1st shots.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies include stock and plush coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable, black and tan, and black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Melinda and her husband have been very welcoming, they make sure you have everything you need to take your dog to a loving and happy home. through the puppies youths they are farm raised mostly outdoors, which for me meant instantly being a part of my puppies pact from the day I brought him inside. He’s a super cool dog, he’s a great listener, and no matter where we go he’s always within 3 feet of me. If you’re considering caring for a puppy I would highly recommend stopping by the wondar Shepards farm.!
