This is Pepper, the grand dad of our beautiful momma cockapoos. (Pic above is rough coat, and below is after grooming.) -RETIRED-
All of our dogs are seen by our vet and checked out for health with a comprehensive check list.
Note: Some of our moms are multi generational which means that they are cockapoos from a long line of cockapoos. They have a slightly higher percentage of poodle in their background which makes them non-shed, smart and more likely to have a square, proud stance. And there is also the benefit of coats that are truly non-shed, with lower dander counts than can be found in F1 cockapoos, or traditional generational breedings.
Our vet is always remarking about how nice our puppies turn out. It has taken years to build these lines, and we are very blessed to have them!
When building a line there are important attributes that we look for. Health and longevity comes first. We get their eyes, knees and hearts checked. Our American Cocker Spaniel lines are from champion AKC lines. Our poodles are AKC mini size with strong bones and great temperaments.
All of our dogs are AKC traceable, and come from champion lines. We are very careful to select only the best for our Kings and Queens!
Our dogs are fed a high quality diet which includes our home made hi protein raw supplement, and nuvet vitamins. They are all very healthy and vibrant. They have fun and get plenty of exercise in our large inside, and outside runs.
Health testing is done through Optigen, or Paw print and our veterinarian.

Bristol is our black and white AKC cocker spaniel (pictured above). Also pictured are some AKC
American Cockers from our friend's breeding program back in Indiana, as well as past cockers in our program.
They are all very nice quality, and have excellent champion lines.
(Bristol is the only one that does not have champion lines in her
immediate pedigree. She does have great lines, but she is out of Cocker
spaniel hunting stock.)

Last, but not least, this is Hobbes, our full time house dog.
He is our neutered lap warmer, and puppy watcher. LOL!
Another breeder once asked me why I got him fixed since he is so cute. LOL! He is very cute, but he is also the perfect house pet since he is neutered! Never any trouble at all, and so smart and obedient! He has a very special bond with my husband who was raised with hunting dogs, and cattle dogs.
He was kept from one of our litters 10 years ago before we knew about testing for genetic defects. He was never tested, but his parents were retired because of genetic defects. Now we know about testing and all of our breeding dogs must pass all of the tests so that puppies won't come with hidden defects.
He has a shaved down (close cropped) coat in this picture which is what my husband prefers.
