A passion, not a job

We are known for our outstanding Bloodhounds, but decided to retire that side of our breeding and put our remaining energy, as we are in our 70s, into the world of hybrids. We have one blue merle standard male poodle that is not your normal hyper personality but rather a calm loving fella, and recently added a second standard poodle, Howie, who is cream and apricot! Keeva (Irish Wolfhound), Stoli (Borzoi), Ghost (Borzoi) and Shanky (Irish Wolfhound) are some of our girls. Some are still young and who knows if they will ever be bred, but they are here right now as part of our pack and we love them like our children!

We are inspected every couple of years by AKC to be sure we are in compliance. When I talked to the inspector about the facebook trolls calling us a "puppy mill," he almost choked laughing. He said they had no clue what they were talking about. Sure makes me feel good, because we work so hard to do everything the right way! We are also inspected annually by USDA and the State of Missouri, Dept of Ag. Please feel free to ask us for more info, should you wish to contact the inspectors or see the reports.

We are located outside of St Louis, MO (we don’t list exactly where, as we don’t want people to just show up or have our dogs stolen, sorry, you never know these days, kinda sad). We have 50 acres of natural wooded fenced land for the dogs to run on, along with a state of the art kennel with its own HVAC system (these guys like it on the cooler side) where you will find at least one of us most of the time. This is a passion, not a job, and there is always a project going on! Our wolfhounds and borzois along with the poodles live in the house with us.

If you want to schedule a visit, please call us, we would be happy to show you everything. In fact, it would be a pleasure! If you are interested in purchasing one of our puppies, we ask that you first complete the puppy inquiry to learn more about you. We will want to visit with you on the phone, after all these are our kids!
