About Retired Dogs:
Some retired breeders move right into a new home and act like they
have been there all their life. On the other hand, some take 1- 4 weeks to adjust. My poodles are potty pad trained, they
are not leash trained.
I accept NON-REFUNDABLE deposits if what I have and what
you want, are matched up. Deposits are Non-Refundable
IF size is not an issue with you, you may adopt one anytime
and pay your deposit to hold it until the puppy is ready to go home.
I no long accept Checks or PayPal
CASH or Postal Money Order ONLY
Balance if picked up : CASH ONLY (no M.O, NO Cashiers
Checks, Cash ONLY)
Balance if shipped : POSTAL MONEY ORDER paid 2 weeks
before shipping
Dog Breeders are #1 Target for scams. I have had to deal with
them and so have many of my friends. This is the reason for CASH ONLY when you pick up your puppy.
I prefer EMAIL as first contact. You may call me AFTER
you have read over the website and AFTER you have emailed me.

A Note About COLLARS:
This happened to my neighbors little doxie, and today a customer told me it happened
to her sisters little dog in the house.
My neighbors little doxie stays outside during the day, she got her collar caught on
a screw trying to get under the house. She flip flopped and squirmed and twisted her collar until she strangled herself
to death. The customers sister got hers caught on the pull knob of the cabinet door in the bathroom. Luckily this lady
was home and found her in time. She is OK, but they have taken the collar off her. My neighbors loosened all her dogs collars
and finally took them off.
I have replaced all my snap-lock collars with the cat safety collars with all new plastic
tags. I also bought a couple of the step in harness just in case I need to put a leash on them sometime.
AKC requires that all breeding dogs be ID'd with tags or tatoo or microchip. I choose
to do collars at this time. If one of mine were to get out, nobody in this place would even think to check to see if they
were microchipped!
Another puppy hung himself on the drapery cord while the family was gone for just a
little while. I have read of other dogs hanging on certain types of baby gates. I had a puppy chew the edge off a vinyl table
cloth, stick its head thru the loose edge, turned circles and would have choked if I'd not come home when I did. I just
heard another story of a lab getting his collar hung on the brake pedal in the vehicle, almost died before they could
cut off the collar!!!
You just never know and never think it will happen to you.
I am a breeder.....
My food receipts for my family of 7 and my dog
food bills match
My water bill has doubled
My
electric has tripled
It is I, a breeder, who when my fridge quit, saved the dog meds
and
let the food go bad.
My feet find the way
to the kennel before I have even grabbed a cup
of coffee in the morning and the kennel
is my last stop before bed.
While my friends are on a cruise to the Bahamas and my family meets
for Christmas I
am home delivering puppies
I haven't had a real vacation in 7 years, but maybe soon.
All plans
are made around heat dates, whelp dates and vet dates.
I
shower and 10 minutes later my grand kids say I smell like a dog
My clothes are all
stained with fecal matter, urine, afterbirth or
bleach
Most of my friends breed dogs
who else can you call at 3 am for
support?
Who else has the experience I sometimes need, the med I sometimes
need, or just an uplifting word I sometimes need ? Who else would
understand
how it feels to have invested hours and hours and hours in
a weak puppy to lose it?
Or the joy in investing hours in one that
lives?
my vet knows me by first name
the vet knows my children
the
vet now knows my grand children
my vet knows it was I who added on the wing to the vet
clinic
I am a breeder
It is to me that 63
days takes on new meaning still excited by every
new life
it
is I who delivers all my pups, towels and heat lamps on ready
happiness and sadness
sometimes intermingled
Even though it increases my work load, I look forward to the
10 day
stage when eyes open, and puppies begin to emerge from the
helplessness
of newborns. Puppy breath, a first bark. and a heart of
exploration.
I am not uneducated, unemployable, illiterate or lazy as some Animal
Rights
folks would imply of breeders. I am a conscientious lover of
animals and I have found
my niche.
I am a breeder.
And although I feel
no shame there is a part of me that feels the
need to hide from powers that could come
to invade my home and take
my dogs ...maybe for finding a mild infraction, a leaf in
the water
dish? A kennel not yet cleaned for the day?
A
rash I am home treating? I tell my children and grand children to
hush, do not tell
others we are dog breeders, and I wonder when did
breeding puppies go into the same
secret place as criminal activity?
I am a breeder and I am not cruel, dumb, uncaring
or criminal. I am
not raking in money while sitting on my butt. Every penny I make I
earn through blood, sweat and tears. My greatest joy is a healthy
puppy
and a wonderful home. The cards of thanks and the pictures of
my puppy with its new
family is the fringe benefits of my efforts. I
am an animal lover, nurse, midwife, heavy
laborer, customer service
representative, and marketer. AND I am a breeder.
