Double YY Puppies — Arthur, Illinois
At the Responsible Dog Breeder Network, we are proud to highlight breeders who raise puppies with love, purpose, and integrity. One such breeder is Double YY Puppies in Arthur, Illinois, raising three breeds, raised inside the family home rather than a kennel.
Our History
Merlin bought his first dog at fifteen, and says that early experience shaped the appreciation he has today for the companionship and loyalty a dog brings into a home.
The program is owned and run by the family — Merlin, his wife Ruth, and their two children — with only one or two litters at a time.
Their stated goal is plain: raise happy, healthy puppies and serve families with honesty, care and respect through the whole adoption process.
How Their Puppies Are Raised
Every puppy is health-checked with regular veterinary care and comes from DNA-tested parents, selected to reduce the risk of hereditary conditions. Puppies are gently introduced to crate training, leash training and everyday experiences so they are ready to adapt to family life. Adoptions carry a 30-day Peace of Mind Guarantee and a 2-year Genetic Health Guarantee.
Like every breeder in the network, they have formally committed to our ethical breeding standards — health testing, transparency and long-term care for both the dogs and the families who take them home.
