Down Home Country Kennel LLC

Down Home Country Kennel LLC, Schipperke, Grovespring, MO, in the Ozarks region near Springfield, breeds smart family companions. With a focus on responsible breeding, the kennel maintains membership in national kennel clubs and follows recommended health screenings for hips, heart, and eyes. Owner Deetta Simmons provides early neurological stimulation protocols and begins crate familiarization by six weeks, helping puppies adapt smoothly to home routines.

Puppies grow up indoors with family members and enjoy supervised play around livestock on the small farmstead, encouraging confidence and balanced social skills. The kennel’s approach highlights the breed’s natural watchdog instincts with basic training sessions and daily trail outings across its acreage. Annual veterinary wellness exams for breeding stock and regular temperament assessments preserve a consistent, family-friendly temperament. The rural setting across varied terrain gives young dogs room to build endurance and curiosity under close supervision. Many owners appreciate the ongoing support, noting clear communication and helpful guidance long after adoption.
