Edited: your unbelievably kind and supportive comments has not only brought me to tears, but it has reassured me of why I do what I do and why I want to continue. Our puppies become your family, and it is my absolute privilege to be a part of that. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for understanding why we do this!
I wasn’t sure I wanted to share this here, but it has to be said…we are NOT a puppy mill. Our mamas are beloved members of our family. My mom (Kim) started this business and has since retired her females leaving me (Kristin) to take over the reins. When we retire our mamas, they are not rehomed. They are not overbred. We are very mindful of responsible breeding practices and work very closely with our vet. They are our family members. My mom’s four dogs are her very spoiled babies as she is an empty nester, and they add to their lives in a way that only a fellow dog owner can understand. My family’s three dogs are raised alongside our four children. They have taught our kids how to love an animal, how to be gentle to another creature, and how to care for something outside themselves. The responsibility of raising our dogs and puppies is something we don’t take lightly. We breed puppies not only because we truly love doing this, but we breed because we have families who have waited a very long time to add a furry family member. A lot of times, they have specific needs that make a cockapoo the right fit for them. These families know that they want a puppy who has been raised in a loving home alongside children who have worked hard to socialize them, train them, and love on them. And it has to be said- we support all those who choose to adopt from shelters, and we support those who choose to adopt from reputable breeders. All dogs deserve a loving home and while we understand that there are breeders out there who don’t hold themselves to high standards, we firmly believe in what we do and how we operate. Remember to do your research and always ALWAYS choose kindness in this world.
