Hickory Grove Puppies

Hickory Grove Puppies, Havanese and miniature schnauzer, Goshen, IN, serves Elkhart County and the Michiana region near South Bend. Daryl Bontrager has been raising these companion breeds for over a decade, participating in the American Kennel Club breeding program and adhering to annual health testing protocols for hips, eyes, and heart. Each litter is raised in a home environment where puppies receive daily handling, socialization with children and other dogs, and early exposure to basic training routines.

The family’s small-scale setup on a working farm gives puppies room to explore under supervision and fosters a calm temperament. Recent litters have included champion lines on both sire and dam sides, and some owners note the puppies’ eagerness to learn and gentle nature. Hickory Grove Puppies focuses on matching each puppy’s personality to a compatible home and provides ongoing support for first-time owners. Health guarantees and a detailed care guide are offered to ensure a smooth transition into family life.
