We are a family of 4 with a fenced yard in back of our newly built home in Bonners Ferry, and only 3 females dogs that are our pets, so we have a max of 3 litters per year, and some years we may not breed at all, so we are NOT a kennel doing this for a living - but a passion and a hobby! We currently have 3 litters available - Mini Australian Shepherds, Standard Poodles, and Standard F1B Bernedoodles - all to be ready to go home September 2025. We don't believe in just focusing on breeding for certain traits, because we believe in choosing dogs for our breeding program that have it all - looks, brains, personality, health, temperament, and ability! Many of our puppies have gone on to become Emotional Support dogs. We know some people want to show their dog, some want to do agility with them, some need a dog to shepherd and guard their children or farm animals, and others are looking for a lap dog or running buddy, so we choose parent dogs that have ALL those traits and abilities. Our purebred Standard Poodle parents are AKC registered, and our Mini Aussie parents are ASDR registered. All of our parent dogs are health tested through either Paw Print Genetics, Embark, or both. We don't just believe in happy dogs. We believe in happy clients! Shipping available to many locations.

Grooming
How often you should groom your dog really depends on you, your dog, and your lifestyle together. Personally, I like a clean dog and a clean house. The better my dog looks, feels, and smells, the more I want to pet, cuddle with, and spend time with my dog. Most people are probably the same way. I’ve noticed our dogs seem to feel better when they’re recently groomed, as well. The males like to look and feel fresh and handsome, and the females like to look and smell pretty, and it just makes them feel good, like you do when you get out of the shower or put on a clean outfit and spruce yourself up. It’s better for your dog’s health to be clean and sanitary. Poodles and Doodles especially need extra grooming It’s recommended they’re groomed at least once a month, and the more your dog is in weeds, dirt, or puddles, the more your dog will need grooming. If you can groom your dog every couple weeks - even better. Grooming is an opportune time to bond with and train your pet. Many dogs learn to like that one on one time with their human. They feel cared for by you when you groom them. They learn to trust their human when they’re groomed in a gentle and compassionate way. Start grooming your puppy right away. From bathing to nail clipping to ear cleaning to tooth brushing, to a weekly or daily brush, your puppy should get used to your touch and care giving. Even if puppy doesn’t like it, it must be done for puppy’s own sake and health. Like children, your pup may whine and cry and make you feel like you’re hurting him or her, but puppies can be very dramatic to get their way, like children. If you can’t or don’t want to groom your dog, you must have a groomer or someone else do it regularly. Sometimes groomers get booked, and have long waiting lists. During COVID, dogs had to wait months to see the groomer. This is why it’s important to make sure you know how to and your dog will let you groom your dog. Have grooming equipment and supplies on hand just in case.
