We are a Christian, God-fearing, doodle loving, home-schooling family of 5. We live on 5 1/2 acres which is all fenced for our doodles to run and play on. Our dogs live in our home and are first and foremost our pets. It’s not likely you will get a chance to sit down on the couch without having to scoot a doodle over to make room or having one curled up on your lap! Our dogs are members of our family, vacations are non-existent as we are often busy with puppies or can’t bear to be away from our dogs for more than a weekend trip to Branson! Our dogs don’t live in kennel buildings away from us and our home, they eat, sleep, and play in our home. They get Christmas presents and weekly treats and chews when we go to the store. We feel very blessed to have the chance to share the labradoodle and goldendoodle breeds with others families through our precious puppies. We take our job of breeding doodles very seriously and strive to produce healthy, happy, hand raised, well socialized, kid-tested, and even tempered doodle puppies.
We began breeding labradors in 2003 which is a family breed in my husband Kyle’s family. He is a third generation breeder as his parents and grandparents have been breeding and raising AKC Champion labs for nearly 3 decades. After a few litters of labs we heard about the labradoodle. We did extensive research and visited with our vet regarding the health benefits and hybrid vigor of this breed and decided to have a litter from our health screened lab and poodle in 2004. Once the litter arrived their hybrid vigor was plainly clear and we knew there was no going back to purebred labs. We have since added a couple children and a couple more doodles to our program!
Our 5 year old daughter is our “Certified Puppy Handler”. She’s very involved with the puppies, handling and socializing, helping her dad with the daily feeding chores and poop scooping! She’s not afraid to get dirty and know’s “who’s who” in the litter by name better than daddy!
Our 2 yr old son is the puppy entertainer! He runs and they follow, it works out great for us as they tucker each other out! He and Piper Jane, one of our Australian girls, are inseparable!
Our 10 month old daughter is just starting to interact with and notice the puppies. She thinks they’re quite adorable and loves to open her mouth for the puppies to give her kisses! Now that’s love!
