Women’s History Month Kelli Appleberg Homegrown Havanese Boarding and Breeding

Kelli Appleberg Homegrown Havanese Boarding and Breeding

My name is Kelli Appleberg. I am a very small boarder and breeder in Swartz Creek. I have had a love for animals ever since I was a little girl and am finally living my dream of being around animals all the time. I have had a lot of experience with various breeds throughout the years but have just fallen in love with the havanese. They are such lovable little dogs and have a great personality. I have been breeding these adorable little fur babies since 2009 and have taken a few breaks in between then and now to spend time with my quickly growing children.

I have a 16 year old daughter who says she wants to follow in my footsteps and be either a veterenarian or something along the lines of helping animals. She is my partner in this adventure and gives our dogs and puppies lots of loving and hugs. I also have a 13 year old son who has a love for animals as well. He has a blast playing with them and running around with them as boys do. We raise our babies in our home with us, so they come pre spoiled and very well socialized. They are also around our cats and chickens so they are use to quite a bit of noise and craziness.

We believe in providing the best environment possible for our new fur babies to grow in so they will be prepared for their new families! Our momma has her CERF, BAER, and Heart testing done yearly to assure quality puppies.

We breed AKC Portuguese Water Dogs as well and love the breed as they are a wonderful medium size dog for families.

I also have a boarding facility on my property. We are very passionate about your pets and want them to feel at home when they are away from your home! Going on vacation? Have your dogs vacation with us on our 10 acre property complete with fenced in dog run, 3 temperature controlled rooms with couches or chairs, and a 1 acre swimming pond, not to mention that we also live on site so your fur babies get lots of attention all day long from myself and my 2 children!!! We also take your dogs with us to the ice cream shop or on a ride to the park just like you might do so we can keep them feeling right at home!

Please feel free to contact me anytime with questions you may have!! (810) 877-3779. Thanks so much for considering us as your fur baby provider and boarder!
