  • Why did you start breeding?

    We started out rescuing. We learned very quickly there was lack of ethical breeders. We have always put our puppies first.

    Our pups are hand raised in our home and very well socialized. We are up round the clock making sure the get the best care possible.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Morkie puppies include tan, piebald, black, black & tan tri-color, white, and black and tan. Mal-Shi puppies include white, white and tan, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

    Amanda was very responsive and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend her and good dogs for a very easy and stress free arrangement. Amanda kept us up to date with pictures each week, always responded to txt, facetimed with us to see our new puppy. Thank you Amanda and Good Dogs.

    We had the best experience with Woodpecker Ridge Pups. Amanda responded immediately to each of my inquiries. She patiently guided me through the whole process of selecting, paying, and waiting for Gaia to be old enough to come home. I had a lot of questions too, but she was always there to answer my texts. She sent pictures each week while we waited for Gaia to grow to the required weight and age. Those were a delight. Gaia changed so much each week. And Amanda and her whole family were so helpful and friendly when we went to pick up Gaia. Amanda answered more questions about feedings, baths and snacks. She’s extremely knowledgeable about everything “puppy”! It makes me feel even more confident knowing I can text her anytime going forward when I have more questions or concerns. I’m so glad I found Woodpecker Ridge Pups!

    I am extremely pleased with working with Amanda and Woodpecker Ridge Pups. She made it a joy to watch my puppy grow as she sent pictures regularly before we got our pup. She made the transition to purchasing our pup beautiful and a seamless process. At first, I was very cautious and little leery. Believe me, when I say that I had no need to worry with Amanda. She responded with concern and love for our puppy, now called Harper. I highly recommend Amanda!

    Our family is absolutely eager to share our experience with Amanda (and her family) of Woodpecker Ridge Pups! We have just been blessed by adopting our lovely malshi, Falkor earlier this week. We have been desperately looking to fill an empty void in our home after our last puppy passed. As fate would have it, I connected with Amanda and quickly recognized how much she cared and dedicated her time to the puppies she raised. Flying across the country to hand deliver our pup instead of sending him alone or with a nanny further solidified this. She answered all our questions honestly and promptly, leaving no information hidden. More importantly, we couldn’t receive our pup right away and she, without hesitation, offered to hold him for a few weeks before flying out. I quote my wife that the “wait was unbearable” but was beyond worth it for our bundle of joy! Amanda continually kept contact throughout each week with pictures and videos. We greatly appreciated the extra time she took and it helped us feel connected to Falkor even before he joined our family. In a world where some breeders are looking just to make a profit, Amanda and her family pour their hearts into all their dogs. Falkor’s smooth transition and wonderful personality are a testament to that. We are forever grateful and believe that the stars aligned to bring our families together. There is no other place we would want to adopt our future pups from. Thank you, Woodpecker Ridge Pups!

    I love Amanda, she walked me through the whole process. Even after I picked up my dog, and for some days later, I had so many questions, and she was able to answer all the questions for me. I looked through various breeders, and when I found Amanda and Wood pecker Ridge Pups, I didn’t have to look any further. Twinkie is happy and healthy in her new home.
