About Us
"Hi, I'm Herman the father of our family. I get to do what I’ve wanted to do for years... Work with my family and raise healthy, happy puppies. I also dream of having more free time to do more of God's work as well."
Herman takes the phone calls, answers emails, and coordinates the puppy video chats. He's the person you’ll meet when you come to pick up your puppy. He also does most of the office work, record keeping, puppy updates for the website, and general management of Michigan Puppy."
"Hi, I’m Dorothy, the Mom of our family. I also get to do what I’ve dreamed of doing… Having a family and taking care of our home. Life is never boring with five children and some day I dream of slowing down and spending more time with my family."
Dorothy's biggest contribution to Michigan Puppy is her encouragement, prayer, cooking, and doing housework for the rest of the crew. She also helps Herman with some office work.
