About Us

My husband, Mike and I live on a cattle ranch in western Nebraska. We have 2 grown children, our son, Ford and our daughter, Mandy.

We have always had cattle, dogs and horses in our lives. Our kids have shown horses and been in High School and College Rodeo. My son went to college on a calf roping rodeo scholarship. Our son now works on a ranch and is always training at least one or two calf roping horses, several going well now and he will compete on them this summer. Our daughter is presently a sophomore in college in Wyoming. She too is always roping , barrel racing or training a new horse. If we go away for more then a day she is my trusted care taker for the dogs and puppies.

Dogs have been a huge part of my life, after having several different breeds, I decided a few years ago to breed Standard Poodles exclusively. Their intelligence, faithfulness and soulful ways have won me over. They are the only dogs I breed. I continue to observe, train, and study dogs....this is never finished for me and I am never bored doing it!

I am not a large kennel nor do I wish to be. My dogs are trained so they are usually with me and can be around the livestock here on the ranch. They are really good around the horses. We always have horses and colts in different stages of training and it is imperative that my dogs all listen to me and they truly do! We have a big yard for puppies to play in and they will come to you very loved and socialized. All my adult dogs are house broke and love to travel. If I get too big to do these things with my dogs...then I would not be the kind of breeder I desire to be. I hope to get into more obedience training as time permits.

I want people to know Standard Poodles for the wonderful dogs they are and not just the haircuts they see on the dogs shows! There is so much more to this breed and I feel the show haircuts have put a silly sigma to poodles which really does not fit at all. Of course if you know a poodle ...you know what I mean.
