About Us
Hello — We are happy you found our farm! I am Sue Bontrager, and my husband is Freeman. I grew up on a small farm, loving animals and helping my Dad do chores. I give him a lot of credit; he taught me how to respect and be gentle with animals. We always had mixed breed puppies that other people didn’t want.
Freeman grew up with German Shepherds. In 1998 we got married. Fast forward to 2023 and we now have four teenage boys.
In 2018 we got our first retriever, and it didn’t take long to learn we absolutely loved the temperament of our puppy. A couple of years later we got our own male, AJ, and started raising puppies. Now you too can experience the joy of owning a retriever. They are so much fun!
Our dogs are all AKC registered and our adult dogs are genetically tested. They are bathed and brushed regularly, and we play with them daily. The puppies are up to date on shots, vet checked, and microchipped to ensure you get the puppy you picked out. We strive to meet AKC standards and have good conformation, good health for showing, and our dogs make very good service and/or companion dogs. With the daily demands of raising puppies and caring for our adult dogs we give as much of our attention to our pack as possible.
Our friend, Autumn Nissley, has joined our efforts in getting to know our dogs and getting the word out to you. Please feel free to contact her to set up an appointment to visit our farm and have some puppy play time. She is also available to do Zoom calls or YouTube videos if you are not local. Call Autumn at (574) 596-5644.
We look forward to working with you and connecting you with your next best friend.
