Owning a dog should be a special and rewarding experience. If you've never owned a dog before, you'll want to prepare yourself by doing plenty of research and understand the commitments involved. If you've never owned a poodle, you'll want to also do your research and understand the differences between them and shedding dogs. If you've been there and done that, then you'll know why we love breedin
g dogs! Be READY for your new family member! You can find many resources on the internet about owning a dog. One we would suggest is AKC's description about owning a poodle. TRAINING YOUR DOG
In order to make owning a dog a wonderful experience, you'll want to start preparing for training BEFORE your canine family member enters your home for the first time. Dogs need to be trained with clear expectations. The best way to make sure this happens is to prepare those who will be working with the dog, so that the dog has consistent interactions with humans. A little preparation will go a long way - even if it is just making a list of the commands you will use with your dog and posting it on the fridge. When a dog is trained, he/she will be an even more wonderful addition to your family. Again, there are many great resources on the internet and great books about training poodles. Not all breeds learn in the same way, so it's a good idea to make sure your resources are specific. For those in Utah that want a good trainer that holds classes, we recommend Jan Perkins with Utah Live Oak Obedience. BREEDING WITH LOVE
It all started with grandpa and his love for animals. He owned his own veterinary practice and often his children and grandchildren would get to help as he took care of dogs and cats. It’s been several years since grandpa passed away, but his legacy of loving animals continues. Although we’re not veterinarians ourselves, we do breed our dogs with health and temperament in mind. We feel it is important to not only take care of a dog’s physical needs, but their mental & emotional needs as well. As part of our family, they join in the back yard fun as we work in the garden, play with cousins & friends, or have get-togethers. They often accompany us on trips (whether they be to the store or to a hiking trail). WHELPING
We've been breeding dogs since 2010. We are fascinated with all kinds of dogs, but have put our focus into Beagles and Poodles. We believe in whelping indoors where we can control sanitation a little easier. We remove dew claws, have their tails docked, administer the necessary puppy shots and most importantly allow the mother to be their main care-taker until they are ready to venture out on their own. PUPPY SOCIALIZATION & TRAINING
We keep our puppies well socialized and training begins at an early age. By breeding at home, we feel that we can create a more healthy environment where our pups are socialized in a happy house and yard environment where they begin learning how to be positive contributions to society. We believe in training our dogs and treating them with respect. A well-trained dog is a happy dog and knows what is expected of him/her. All of our puppies begin crate & potty training before they are 8 weeks old.
