We appreciate your visiting our website, and want to take this opportunity to give those of you who don't get to come and visit us a chance to see where we live, and how we do things. We're proud of our home and kennel. We take pride in the fact that we give our dogs and puppies the loving care and quality of life that all God's creatures deserve.
We know that as a dog lover, you also care about the environment that your puppy is born into. We are open to visitors, and want you to know that by buying a puppy from us, you are supporting responsible kennel management, and are NOT contributing to the misery that is the plight of so many poor dogs that are perpetually imprisoned and exploited by our nation's "puppy mills".

Our home and kennel are surrounded by 165 acres of beautiful, rolling pasture land in Central Arkansas, 45 miles north of Little Rock. Our ancestors have lived, worked, and recreated in this area for six generations. Our property was once a horse farm, but now serves as an ideal place for dogs to run, play and be happy. You can click on the thumbnail images below to see more scenes from our home.

Our adult dogs are housed in 24 indoor/outdoor kennels designed with climate control, automatic waterers, and covered porches. Each kennel has a separate 1600 square foot grassy yard for exercise. We keep 4-6 dogs in each kennel. Our dogs free feed and are not overweight, because they have optimal opportunities for exercise. These kennels cover approximately five acres of our property.

Our whelping and weaning house provides state of the art comfort and hygeine for our whelping mothers and weaning puppies. It is heated and cooled, and is equipped with an air filtration system, nebulizer, and stainless steel wash downs. The puppies are moved during the day to either indoor or outdoor "playpens" to allow for exercise and increased socialization. In their playpens, the puppies are allowed to come and go from airline shipping crates at will so that they will be accustomed to the crates when the time comes for them to fly.
|
Expectant females are housed in our indoor kennels during the last four weeks of pregnancy so that they can take advantage of an enriched diet specially formulated for optimal nourishment of pregnant and nursing dogs. In the morning, the kennels are opened up, and the girls run free during the day. We call them the "back-porch" gang. At night, the girls kennel up again!

We hope you visit us in person someday, but if not, be assured that we are committed to doing what's right for our animals and our customers. We love dogs!
