About us:

    I have had a love for dogs since I was small, my Uncle was a vet and I would go to work with him, whether it was on farm calls or on small animals in the clinic.  I learned a lot from him about taking care of dogs.  We are a family owned kennel in the heart of the Ozarks.  We are located in Southwest Missouri on beautiful Table Rock Lake.  My husband and I both take care of the kennel, we also have a large farm where we raise beef cattle, we also have horses & sheep.  We have been raising dogs for 16 years.  We started with Border Collies because we needed help on the farm.  We became a Blue Ribbon Kennel in December 2005.  We are one of the few kennels in Missouri who have qualified to become one.  We have two beautiful children who are both married with wonderful spouses, and two very special Grandsons.

In May 2008 I started showing Jake, my Boston Terrier. He has been CERF tested, BAER tested, Juvenile Cataract - clear, OFA Patellas and cardiac, he has passed all of these tests. Since then I have started having several other of my dogs tested. The Bostons have all been CERF tested, Bandit has also been Juvenile Cataracts DNA'd and is also Clear, the have all been OFA Patella & Cardiac tested and are good. I have had both male Cairns Mickey & Teddy and females Melody, Madison, Kylee & Symphony have been CERF tested normal & OFA Patella & Cardiac - good. Also Hannah, Garrett & Rockie the Border Collies have been CERF'd - normal, OFA Patella & Cardiac - Good. Hannah has been OFA hips - good.

              

   We breed Boston Terriers, Cairn Terriers, Toy Poodles.  We feed ProPac Performance puppy food and adult food.   It is a high quality food that my dogs love to eat, you can click on the link and put in your zip code and it will tell you if it is available close to you.
