Espiritus Farm

Espiritus Farm breeds German Shepherd dog and Papillon in Garfield, KY, Spencer County and the Bluegrass region near Louisville. It participates in national breed club events and maintains recommended health screenings for hips, elbows and patella. Puppies are raised in a home environment with daily socialization alongside the farm’s goats and chickens.

Owner Cynthia Mandello draws on a background in working dog training to introduce early positive reinforcement. Litters grow up on a century-old homestead where quiet pastures support steady temperaments and resilience. Many families appreciate the calm nature and alert intelligence that Espiritus Farm dogs bring to both household and farm life. Each puppy is microchipped before joining its new family, receives veterinary checkups up to eight weeks, follows a diet of high-quality kibble supplemented with fresh produce from the farm’s garden and is evaluated for health and temperament to support a smooth transition home.
