I have always wanted a large breed dog having grown up with smaller breeds my whole life and I can honestly say, I couldn’t have picked a better breeder in Clint and the German Indian dog. My best friend since the day I picked him up, my bud Zeppelin. To start off, I want to talk about Clint and what he does in preparation for first time dog owners. All the work leading up to getting one of his pups, in my opinion, is necessary because you quickly realize that once you get your pup, they are literally your child. I will forever be grateful for his attention to detail, open dialogue for any questions prior to and after “adoption” and lifelong bond as he cares about every one of his puppies. And you can feel Clint’s love with how the German Indian breed is. Zeppelin is by far the sweetest, gentlest, lovable large breed dog I have ever interacted with. He seemingly glides around other dogs in the friendliest way and has the ability to lounge when necessary but turns on the playful gears when the time is right. He is calm at home and around babies/children as well as elderly family while having the endurance to go on hikes and jump in the creek on a hot summer day. To boot, he is an absolute handsome gent as there isn’t a walk where someone’s jaw drops or a “what kind of dog is that he’s beautiful” is stated to me. Zepp is comfortable in settings with crowds nor any issues with fireworks and other dogs. Watching him interact and chase other doggos at the dog park is majestic to watch, like a fiery tornado. I am always so proud of him as a dog owner. When home, his potty training was almost instant, he’s quiet virtually all the time other than when I howl and get him to join and haven't had any issues with chewing furniture or eating food that wasn’t his. He has recently become cuddlier and on rainy days, I wouldn’t want to spend time with anyone else. He checks every box you want in a dog: calm, comfortable with others, lovable, carefree yet at the same time ready to have fun and adventure. I love him to death and I am so happy and fortunate to have him in my life. He’s the absolute best and you will not be disappointed if you decide to grab one or two or three from Clint! Highly recommend, 5 out of 5 stars ?Steve

Clint and his crew at Happy Bend are the best breeders EVER. We got our puppy Merlin from Happy Bend, and he is the best dog we have ever owned. He is an Australian Indian Doodle, and I have never encountered a dog as smart, sweet, gentle, and loyal as this one. If you're on the fence about getting one of Happy Bend's pups, don't be. Go get one NOW!

Merlin is the best dog my husband and I could’ve ever asked for. He’s an Australian Indian Doodle, and is amazing - so cuddly and smart. Working with Happy Bend made us confident that we were buying a puppy who was already so deeply loved, and we were helped so much through the whole process. I could not recommend happy bend kennel enough. They’re the best!

We just got our new Australian Indian Dog puppy "Ovi" from Happy Bend Kennel and in just 3 days he has exceeded all expectations. He has the most beautiful coat of fur, his temperament is calm and playful, and his intelligence is far beyond what we expected. We could not be happier with our decision to get a puppy from Happy Bend!Clint's love and dedication to his pups is unparalleled. His knowledge and advice is perfectly catered to his breeds. He puts in the work to ensure the puppy has the best life with him and after him. Buying from Clint will be the best decision you will make..for you and your puppy!

We adopted an Australian Indian Dog from Happy Bend Kennel and couldn’t be happier. The owner, Clint, drove a long distance to deliver the pup in a vehicle specifically adapted to transport pups. Clint is the most caring breeder I have ever met, and I believe the love for his pups transcends to the pups. Our pup, Bumblebee (father is Optimus so the name was too good to pass for Transformers fans!) adapted very well to his new environment and with our older dog as well. Clint’s guidance and advice ensured we were ready. I hope Happy Bend Kennel is around for a long time as we will certainly get more pup(s)! The Australian Indian Dog is an amazing breed both in looks and temperament. Thank you Clint and Happy Bend Kennel!

Happy Bend Kennel has given us the most perfect, cuddly, loving and intelligent dog. Meadow is an Australian Indian dog and she is everything Clint promised us she would be. Watching her grow has been bittersweet but her personality and temperament grow with her daily along without her size! So grateful to be informed on how to take care of our girl and look out for what she needs, due to all of the useful information Clint provides and reviews with you prior to getting your pup. If you’re on the fence about getting a dog from here, just be willing to to put in some work to get yourself an amazing well rounded pup!

We love all our dogs from Happy Bend Kennel. We have 2 German Indian Dogs and we just got our 3rd puppy from Clint... an Australian Indian Doodle. He is awesome puppy! He has had no accidents in the house at all. He isn't scared of his big brothers at all either. Just wants to be with them and play all day long! He has the sweetest personality and fits right in with the German Indian Dogs. Clint is awesome person to work with and cares a lot about each puppy. He does a great job raising them so they are ready for their new homes.

We just got our second pup from Clint and Happy Bend Kennels.Our first girl Chibi, is now 3 years old. The newest baby is her half-sister, Poko.Can't say enough good things about our gorgeous girls and the care and love Clint gives them! He definitely wants to make sure we approach adopting one of his German Indian dogs with full knowledge of what to expect and what he expects of us, (in terms of caring for them) for the rest of their lives. Can call him up any time and he remembers all pertinent details about us, which dog(s) we are parents to - even years later. He's always available to walk us through any worries we have and really loves to hear how his pups are doing in their homes.Once you have one of his German Indian dogs, it's hard to imagine ever getting any other breed. Would never consider any other breeder of them.Thanks so much Clint!!!

Clint introduced me to Whisper in May of 2014 and my life changed that day. This dog is unlike any animal you can experience in a domestic setting and truly NEEDS to be experienced to believe. I’m allergic to every dog but these dogs. The German Indian Dogs from Happy Bend Kennels are the greatest dogs on the planet. There is no gimmick, they are really hypoallergenic, they are not wolves or part wolf, they are just the best dogs in the world. If you are reading this because of allergy-related reasons, this should be the only dog you consider. Hell, this should be the only dog anyone should consider.

Where do I even begin? Owner and breeder Clint Little is phenomenal! This man knows the ins and outs of not just his breeds but most breeds. He is so incredibly knowledgeable!!! We chose this breed (the german indian dog) 3 years ago when we ran into it at a park here in NY and we were instantly in love. We began researching Clint’s kennel and the breed. Reading everything he had to offer on his site. This man absolutely LOVES his dogs and these pups. Today we finally picked up our boy and he is just pure perfection and that’s all thanks to Clint and his amazing dogs! I HIGHLY recommend Happy Bend Kennel for your next dog! We will definitely be getting another one from them!!

My family and I are blessed to have our little man Harley Bear, a German Indian Dog, son of Yesenia and Stormy (1 of 9 pups) born 11-11-21 at Happy Bend Kennel. He is healthy, soo smart, loyal, gentle and the most handsome little fluff I have ever had the pleasure of calling my new best friend. He's so well behaved, and loves to be with the family, especially our kids! He is picking up training with no issues, goes to the bathroom outside on his pine shavings, eats his raw food with no issue and is respectful around the house, like no chewing anything, digging etc.The whole household fell sick when we brought him home, and he was such a good boy through it all, and made sure everyone was okay! He wouldn't leave my youngest daughters side when she wasn't feeling good.My husband and I met up with Clint on January 23, 2022 to take Harley home, and I was excited to meet my Harley Bear, but was excited to meet Clint as well!I made the best decision of my life when I first called Clint 4-5 months back about getting a puppy from him, and I gained a friend along the way. Clint has been amazing, thru our talks about the Raw Diet, making sure we were fully prepared for puppy, to just laughs and talks about life! Clint is a hardworking man dedicated to his family, kennel and his passion of wood working. He loves and cares for his animals soo much! Having a dog is a huge commitment, and when finding a breeder, I think it's important to find someone who actually cares about the animals and their well being. He wants to make sure that his pups go to loving, responsible homes, and I don't blame him for that. Too many animals end up in shelters because some owners lack what it takes to own an animal, so he wants to make sure that his puppies go to FOREVER homes, and that the people he sells them to understand FULLY what is expected of them as a RESPONSIBLE pet owner. He knows what's best for the dogs that he breeds, and he educates his clients on what he has come to know thru all the years he's been in the business and from his own experience. Dogs are family, and in our house, every single one of our animals are treated like family. I missed having a dog so much, and have been thru soo much heartbreak and pain in the past few years, Harley Bear has definitely healed my broken pieces and made me whole again. I can't thank Clint enough for everything, we love our Harley Bear soo much!

We got our sweet girl a few months ago and it has been such an awesome adventure with her. Clint is an amazing breeder, very knowledgeable and helpful, and an overall awesome person who really cares for his pups. He went out of his way on short term notice to deliver his pup to us all the way down in Florida making sure to meet our needs as well as the puppies. When we met our girl, she was so gentle, the softest fur ever and so sweet. I am really allergic to most dogs and thought I would never be able to have a bigger breed dog that is hypoallergenic but it is true when they say that this breed is hypoallergenic. I have not had any allergies or itchiness with our pup and it has been amazing. She is a quick learner, very gentle with our kids, mild mannered, very smart, sweet, and the most beautiful dog ever!! So grateful for Clint and his family!! We love our Kaya girl!

Got our boy a few months ago and he’s so perfect, loving, and well mannered! For those who have severe allergies to animals and asthma like my mom, he is completely hypoallergenic. His training retention is amazing, even around new people he keeps a sweet smile and quickly learned not to jump. Thank you Clint at Happy Bend Kennel!!

We recently added a second German Indian Dog to our family. Six years ago we contacted Clint at Happy Bend Kennel and he hooked us up with such an amazing dog…ACE. He just met his sister KONA last week and they are going to be best friends. We cannot say enough about this breed and Clint as a breeder. Whenever we want to add another awesome dog to our family Clint is the only person we would contact. Family friendly, smart, beautiful dogs! JOHN & KRISTEN
