Woodlot Companions

Woodlot Companions, run by Ray Troyer and based in Walnut Creek, Ohio, raises Bernese mountain dogs, golden retrievers, and standard poodles out of a purpose-built kennel in the heart of Holmes County, roughly an hour south of Canton.

The operation has been breeding dogs for over 15 years and holds both state and federal licensing. The kennel facility, constructed in 2018, was designed to go beyond minimum regulatory requirements: dogs live on radiant-heated solid flooring with individual doggy doors opening to private covered outdoor runs, and a two-acre area is available for open exercise. Genetic testing is standard practice for all adult dogs in the program, and a partnership with a local veterinarian guides the medical care of both adults and litters.

Each puppy is individually assessed by a certified trainer and behaviorist who conducts temperament evaluations and writes personality profiles to help match each pup with a compatible home. Early neurological stimulation is used during the first weeks of life to support brain development. Families searching for Bernese mountain dog puppies in Ohio, or golden retriever and standard poodle companions, will find a kennel that operates on a regimented daily schedule across its six-plus-acre property outside Walnut Creek.
