About Us...

​

​I was born with a love for animals, especially dogs.  But I never could have sold puppies when I was young because I would have wanted to keep every one of them!  Time went on and as a city-slicker I worked in retail and aerospace for 16 years and then a life-long dream realized...living on a farm with animals and raising a family.  My two great kids grew up on the farm and are now out out on their own.  Now that I'm older, I'm mostly OK with selling the puppies (instead of keeping them all) and I love providing others with beautiful, healthy puppies.

​

I have been breeding and raising registered alpacas since 1997, and dogs since 2009.  I have owned a Great Pyrenees (a pair), AKC English Springer Spaniels (3 dogs) and AKC American Cocker Spaniels (a six pack).  Since about 2013, I have been raising English-type AKC Golden Retrievers.  I do show the alpacas, but not the dogs.  I breed for overall health, beauty and soundness in correct structure, function and disposition / temperament in accordance with the breed standards.
