About Us

Melissa Miller, Owner

Happy, healthy, puppies are my "full-time" passion! 

Since we began in 1995, Miller's Puppies is run my families passion. Located in Buncombe, Illinois, we are a licensed facility that is extremely committed to persevering the standards and health of Silky Terriers. In the process we have been blessed to help bring into the world healthy, happy, AKC registered puppies with a wonderful temperament. Our puppies and parents enjoy exercising and exploring our large 30 acre farm and take advantage of the freedom of country living. When they are not lounging in our home or swimming in the pool or lake, our puppies and their parents, hang out in our clean, heated, and cooled facilities where they may come and go as they please. Weimaraners are a part of our family and they are loved and socialized daily.

Our commitment to puppies and parents is lifelong. To us, raising any breed is a full time job. We are not "hobby-breeders." My family has devoted 100% of our time to the breeds we love! Our puppies and their parents are like our children. They need love, interaction, supervision as well as someone to depend on daily. My ‘Mission’ at Miller’s Puppies is to raise happy, healthy, and well socialized adults and puppies. We focus of our breeding program is quality not quantity. Easily trained, exceptional temperaments, and extremely eager to please besides being gorgeous!

Miller’s Puppies is devoted to our dogs and puppies, and believe that the first eight weeks of their lives are the most crucial, that is why none of Miller’s puppies leave home until they are eight weeks of age. Here at Miller’s Kennel I am committed to delivering excellence in all my puppies. I am always committed to giving all of my puppies the best start possible. I am particular about where puppies are placed. I look for good homes where the PUPPY will be loved as a family member. No adoption is done by internet alone. We enjoy getting to know perspective families in order to help them make the best personality match. Not everyone who contacts us to adopt a puppy or adult dog will be accepted. 

"We are not a pet store or part of another company. My puppies/dogs are raised in a caring and safe environment.  When a dog/puppy becomes a Miller family member they have a home with us until the right family/home is found. I have mothers/fathers, grandmothers/grandfathers, great grandmothers/grandfathers still living with me long after they have retired. 

Our bright and clean kennel facility, designed by me over many years, keeps adults and puppies comfortable at all times. However most the time my home is where all my puppies are raised. You are more likely to find my dogs sleeping in our beds, swimming in the pond or our pool instead of theirs, or one of my daughters setting up a nursery in her room for a new litter."
