We are a quality breeder in southern Indiana. We love dogs and strive to produce genetically sound, intelligent, calm, puppies with loving personalities. All our dogs have ample room to run and nice large kennels that keep them warm in the Winter and Cool in the Summer. There are pictures to the right of our home and where the dogs are housed. We have placed many puppies in loving pet devoted homes. We will assist and stand behind your purchase. We live on a 90 acres, where are dogs get plenty if exercise. We have spent a lot of time researching and seeking out the healthiest dogs to breed with strong pedigrees behind them to back up their long healthy ancestry record. We know our dogs, their health history, and their ancestors. With history behind us we have extended our health contract to 36 months, rather than the standard two year contract.
All puppies are sold on spay/neuter contract unless prior arrangements have been made with approved breeders.

"Our Home"


Phoebe is a Shepadoodle, the daughter of Rudy and Sidney. Who would have thought GS's love water, but you can not keep Phoebe out of the pool. We were trying to close the pool for the Winter and Phoebe kept jumping in, so the cold didn't hold her back either.

Above is the housing for our adult dogs; their kennel runs are 6 by 24 feet. We have added a large outdoor exercise arena where the dogs can interact and play daily.

Above is our nursery equipped with heat and air conditioning. When visiting us you will be allowed to peek inside, but do not be offended that we will not allow you to walk inside the building. We treat our puppies just as a nursery in a hospital and strive to keep it free of any germs that you could bring in on the bottom of your shoes. Until puppies have had their 3 puppy vaccinations they are not immune to many viruses. This is why it is recommended when you bring a puppy home not to take it for walks, traveling, or visiting until one week after its last vaccination between 12-16 weeks old.

Lilly is our spoiled Standard Poodle. Here she is being tucked in bed for the night with our son.
After Lilly had puppies her coat faded to a lighter shade of red. Below are pictures of Lilly ringing a bell to go outside. The bell is a wonderful concept for busy homes were you might not always notice your patient dog waiting to go outside.
