Coldwind Kennel

Coldwind Kennel breeds Chesapeake bay retriever and Siberian husky in Whitmore Lake, MI, in Livingston County near Ann Arbor. Owner Wendy H has more than ten years of experience breeding and training working retrievers and sled dogs. It follows breed club guidelines, performs recommended health screenings for hips and eyes, and maintains registration with national breed associations. Puppies are raised in a home setting with daily socialization, basic obedience exposure, and regular access to secure outdoor spaces.

Facilities include climate-controlled indoor kennels with adjoining fenced paddocks and dedicated whelping areas for safe puppy rearing. New owners receive guidance on nutrition, training, seasonal care, and breeder support to ensure a smooth transition. Some pups have gone on to become valued therapy dogs and reliable hunting companions. Adult dogs live indoors with outdoor runs and daily interaction to support their health and temperament.
