Why choose My Family K-9’s?
At My Family K-9’s, raising puppies isn’t just something we do — it’s who we are. We are three families, bound by a shared love for dogs, each dedicating our homes, hearts, and lives to raising happy, healthy, and well-socialized puppies. Every litter is raised with intention, care, and unwavering devotion, surrounded by love, laughter, and the everyday joys of family life.
From the moment our puppies are born, they are nurtured in a warm, safe environment, growing up alongside children, experiencing the gentle guidance of human companionship, and learning to be confident, joyful, and loving dogs. Our mission is simple: to raise puppies who bring happiness, comfort, and unconditional love to their future families.
Our journey began in the 1980s, and over generations, raising dogs has been more than a passion — it has been a way of life. In 2014, we brought our families to Troy, Missouri, where the calm, rural setting provides the perfect backdrop for puppies to thrive. Living close to one another allows us to operate as a united team, sharing knowledge, support, and resources, and most importantly, giving our dogs the time and attention they deserve.
Even when life takes us away from home, our commitment never wavers. We maintain a small, state-inspected kennel facility used exclusively by our families to ensure every dog receives consistent care, comfort, and love. Each family cares for six to ten dogs, giving every puppy the stability and personal attention it needs to flourish.
At the heart of everything we do is our unwavering belief: life is brighter with four paws, a wagging tail, and a heart full of love. Our goal is not just to raise puppies — it is to raise companions, friends, and family members who bring joy, laughter, and unconditional love into every home they enter.
Growing up surrounded by dogs, every generation of our family has learned invaluable lessons: patience, loyalty, hard work, forgiveness, and the pure joy of living life with love at the center. These lessons guide every decision we make and shape the foundation of My Family K-9’s. When you bring one of our puppies home, you’re not just getting a dog — you’re gaining a lifetime of dedication, care, and love from our family to yours.
Health, Care & Early Development
Just as we pour love and attention into every puppy from the moment they’re born, we are equally committed to their health, wellbeing, and lifelong success. At My Family K-9’s, raising happy, confident, and healthy puppies is more than a goal — it’s a promise we make to every family who opens their hearts to one of our pups.
Our adult dogs undergo DNA testing and carry OFA certifications to help ensure sound genetic health, giving our puppies the strongest foundation possible. From the very first days of life, each puppy receives gentle, consistent care, proper nutrition, and early socialization in a safe, loving environment. We proudly feed Diamond and Diamond Naturals puppy food, a trusted Midwest brand that provides excellent quality and wholesome ingredients to support growth and development.
To give our puppies the best start in life, we follow the Puppy Culture program, which nurtures early neurological development, builds strong cognitive skills, and fosters confident, well-adjusted temperaments. From playful handling and gentle exposure to new sights and sounds, every puppy is carefully prepared for life as a beloved family member.
We also guide our families in supporting long-term health by recommending spaying or neutering at the appropriate age, as advised by your veterinarian.
Meeting Your Puppy & Going Home
Once a deposit is placed, we welcome meet-and-greet appointments starting at 5 weeks of age, after the puppy’s first vaccination. Puppies are typically ready to join their new families at around 9 weeks, and we offer onsite pick-up to make the transition as smooth and comfortable as possible.
Each puppy leaves our home with a special Going Home Package, thoughtfully prepared to help them settle into their new life. It includes:
A sample of their puppy food
Vaccination and deworming records
Favorite toys and treats
Potty pads and waste bags
Food and water bowls
Our mission is simple: to raise healthy, happy puppies who bring joy, love, and companionship to their new families. Just as we have done for generations, we are honored to share our hearts, homes, and experience with you, welcoming you into the My Family K-9’s family — where love, care, and puppy kisses are always part of the journey.
