We are not a large operation nor a kennel in the common view of the definition. We're simply a family with our loyal, loving, intelligent family dogs. We prefer to stay just a family with our dogs in order to give the maximum attention to each one and avoid the crowding that a 'kennel' might create for us and the dogs. 

These awesome dogs, that meet the needs of so many, deserve a family style life.

Our past pups that are currently working as Service Dogs, serving the needs of their person / families, are our Pride & Joy!

 

We DNA Health test our potential breeding dogs before they are accepted as parent dogs and allowed to breed. We test for the breed specific issues as well as non breed specific issues. This is to give all our puppy families the best possible start in good health that we can. Nothing in nature is perfect, we all know that, but going that extra mile of using tools that modern day technology gives us, is one way to provide the best start in life that we possibly can. 

We also use 'natural health options’ FIRST, but we believe conventional also has it's place!  Using BOTH options is best, for us anyway, but we understand it may not be what all families do and that’s perfectly ok, it’s a personal choice. For us, natural options are reached for first, and conventional options are always kept ‘at the ready’ just in case heavier care is needed. There is a time and place for both types of medical care and prevention, and when used wisely we all benefit! So just because I believe in naturals first, for ourselves as well as for our pets, it doesn’t mean I am against conventional medicine. I do believe that vaccines in moderation are needed, are very useful and wise and a 'must have', but we don’t ‘over-do’ the conventional meds here and our old ones live long lives, some even into their teens!
