Our background has always been hunting, sled dogs and police K-9's. The picture above is me with one of my personal protection dogs a Belgian Malinois, Munchee. She was the love of my life. Every owner should be lucky enough to be loved like this. With time, I did make the switch over to calmer less time and training needy breeds. Although always having Labs to some extent. My interest in breeding Labradoodles and Goldendoodles came from wanting a dog that my step-son who is allergic could have in the house. That and not having the time commitment that training top police and human therapy dogs requires. I have always thought children should grow up with animals in their lives. My background with animals began early in life as well. My first dog was aWonderful White retired show Standard Poodle "Toro" . When I moved out on my own. I bought home my first purebred dog since childhood. A wonderful Lab I got from the SPCA named JJ. Later on I obtained my Animal Care Technician certificate. I volunteered and help run and manage a shelter on a military base overseas. We implimented many policies like mandatory micro-chipping and we tried to end the people who get a dog only for a few years until they moved and then gave them up. With some dogs having 5 homes in a short time through no part of their own. I owned and  bred Belgian Malinois for 10 years. In that time rescued many breeds.  I have found that the Poodle,Golden and Labrador are consistently the very best of family dogs. I have bred, shown and trained my own dogs and those for others. Now, I most of my children are grown and I have more time for dogs. I do have a 3 y.r old son who "helps" with them as well. We are a family of dog lovers and my extended family are all owners of our breeding dogs. All our dogs are part of our families.
