About us~
I and my husband, as well as our two teenage sons, have enjoyed raising dogs for
about 15 yrs.  We have had several different breeds of dogs through the years.  
My husband and I are both from families that have enjoyed hunting with dogs over
the years.  But, we now raise only companion type puppies for the sheer
enjoyment and company that they provide.  However, many of our puppies have
gone on to be therapy dogs, and we love to hear about the service that they are
providing.

Our kennel is located beside our house on our 3 acre mini farm.  In the past we
have  raised rabbits, cats and chickens for 4 - H projects,  but we are now only
raising dogs.  Our dogs have been used for some very enjoyable and rewarding 4 -
H projects, also!  Our dogs that are not currently in our house, are situated
comfortably in our heated and/or cooled kennel buildings with adjoining ample runs
for exercising at the dog's free will.  Our dogs are fed high quality food including
Diamond naturals, Taste of the Wild, and sumptuous dishes made in our kitchen
especially for our dogs, with canine nutrition as the guiding factor.  We also offer
them toys and chew bones for their enjoyment as well as fresh water at all times.  
We clean our kennels daily.  

Puppies are seen by our vet, and are tested for parasites, heart murmur, and
general health.  Our vaccination and worming schedule is as follows:
Intra-nasal Bordetella/Parainfluenza at 3 or 4 weeks of age, a straight Parvo
vaccine(NeoPar) at 5 weeks and a five way consisting of Distemper, Adenovius
Type 2, Pararinfluenza and Parvo at 7 wks.   Another dose of the five way puppy
shot is administered at 11 and 15  wks. if the puppy is still in our  care.  We do
require that all puppies purchased from us are continued in their shots and
wormings as they would be cared for if they were still with us.  Our parasite control
consists of routine usage of pyrantel palmoate wormer.  We also keep on hand
other types of parasite control to be used as needed so that you can receive a
puppy free of internal or external parasites.  

We believe that our puppies as well as our breeding dogs should to be cared for
with all the TLC that they so deserve!  We believe that caring for the needs of our
pets goes beyond meeting their physical needs.  All of our dogs have names and
are called by that name when they are addressed by the members of our family.  
Each of our dogs have special days on which  they are given careful grooming and
one on one care and attention in addition to group play and interaction.  We
generally retire our breeding adults to a life of luxury in a loving pet home. We have
had a lot of pleasant reviews from the recipients of our retired breeding dogs.
