About Blackwood Acres Kennels

We believe dogs complete families, specifically dogs whose temperaments are a good match for their families. That’s why we spend so much time and effort laying a solid foundation for our puppies and evaluating each one of them. We want to ensure they leave our hands well-adjusted, happy and healthy to go to new homes that will give them the best chance at a good life, both for the puppy and the human. We have had too much experience in the past choosing a puppy willy-nilly from a litter at a few weeks old and then the dog turns out to be the opposite of what we expected and hoped for. Our goal is to reduce the chances of that happening by raising well-rounded and socialized puppies and helping to match them to the best families for them. We are a small family breeder and raise our dogs in the country air and sunshine of the Illinois prairie.
