Shade Mountain Kennel

Our kennel is located in beautiful, rural Pennsylvania, in the heart of farm country. We are in Mc Clure in Snyder County, which is about 50 minutes north of Harrisburg and 50 minutes east of State College. We are about 3 hours West of the NJ state line from I-80.

Our goal as a state-licensed and inspected kennel is to find 'forever' homes for our happy, healthy, and playful puppies. If you think you can provide one of our puppies with the home they deserve, feel free to contact us anytime. We are not a 'puppy mill'; neither are we a 'back-yard breeder'. We are experienced, professional breeders. Much time and research has gone into our breeding dogs and all of our puppies are well cared for and clean. We have a good relationship with Dr. Anthony Patorti and Dr. Andrea Musser at Big Valley Animal Hospital (717) 667-2000.

Our puppies are very well socialized and are handled daily. They are raised with small children and are socialized with other dogs and puppies. Our puppies are most known for their friendliness and trainability. We strongly believe that the first eight weeks of a puppy's life determines it's personality, temperment, and trainability for the rest of it's life. If a puppy learns to trust and love humans from the start, and that is continued after they go home, a wonderful family pet is the result.

We provide vet records along with vaccination and deworming records with all our puppies. A one-year health guarantee is also included. All parents are on the premesis and may be visited when picking up your puppy.

We feed Purina Puppy Chow, Healthy Morsels, which we highly recommend.

A $50 nonrefundable deposit will hold a puppy for you until it is ready to go at 8 weeks old. We accept cash, check, money order, or credit cards for payment. Your deposit may be made with a credit card over the phone or a mailed check.

Shipping via airplane is available for an extra $350. This includes the extra vet exam and certification for flying, the crate, and the one and a half hour drive to our closest airport. Ground shipping is available to neighboring states and is usually around $175-$250 depending on the distance. We will also drive up to two hours to meet you for a fee of $75.

Feel free to contact us to set up a time to come see our puppies. We schedule visits anytime after the puppies are 5 weeks old, usually on any Monday through Saturday. No Sunday sales or visits (no exceptions, please).
