We’re excited to have you here!
As you may know, Midnight Acres Kennel has been a trusted name in the dog breeding community for over 27 years. While our beloved founder, Pat Self, has retired, her legacy of providing happy, healthy puppies continues.
I, Travis Pappan, have been privileged to work alongside Pat for the past 11 years. It’s with great enthusiasm that I’ve taken the reins to keep her vision alive.
To ensure you have access to a wider variety of breeds and reliable breeders, I’ve partnered with other licensed and responsible breeders. This collaboration allows us to offer a safe and trustworthy platform for both puppy seekers and breeders.
So, grab a cozy blanket, your favorite drink, and explore our website. You’re sure to find at least one cute little puppy to fall in love with! If you have any questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
We look forward to helping you find your perfect furry companion!
Sincerely, Travis Pappan Owner, Midnight Acres Kennel

ADVANTAGES OF AN OLDER PUPPY
When it comes to adding a new furry member to your family, many people instinctively think of bringing home a young, adorable puppy. However, there are several advantages to considering an older puppy, which can make the experience of pet ownership more rewarding and less demanding.
Advantages:
More developed bladders, so they can hold it more reliably for potty training.
A little more mature, so better impulse control and attention abilities.
More self-sufficient and better at being alone since they have been away from their siblings for quite a while.
Fewer surprises when it comes to temperament or personality (there are always some, but you can predict them better).
Fewer surprises on adult size since they will be close to their adult height. (Teething is pretty much done, so no land sharks!
Regular vaccinations, deworming, and veterinary check-ups have been done to ensure their well-being.
Older puppies have had more time to develop and are sturdier and more able to easily make the transition to a new home.
Older puppies have developed emotional maturity and patience, making it easier for them to establish a bond with their new family members.
They are often more attentive, affectionate, and capable of understanding cues and the behaviors you desire. This can lead to a deeper and more immediate connection, allowing you to form a strong bond and create a sense of companionship sooner than you might with a younger puppy.
