Coprophagia is the eating of one’s own fecal matter and the fancy term for the behavior that dogs sometimes exhibit… that is they can eat their own poop. This is in direct violation of my number one health recommendation for all humans and canines: Don’t Eat Poop! BUT WHY??? Many times this nasty and dangerous […]
Sometimes there is a good reason to want to know exactly what kind of coat a cockapoo puppy will grow up to have. Some people want a specific coat for maintenance purposes (and ease of) and sometimes people want to ensure they get a non-shedding dog for allergy or asthma reasons. Other times a family […]
It is really good to know the truth about what goes into your well-bred puppy (and what goes into poorly-bred puppies). It is important so that you can understand where your hard-earned money is going and what it is supporting. And, of course, if you’re considering breeding you’ll want to know the costs involved too. […]
When our puppies reach the “transitional period” of growth, that is, weeks 2-4 or so, they are really developing amazing use of their senses. Eyes and ears have opened up and these two senses grow ever more sharp as the days pass. Smell is sharper than ever and now the babies can begin to connect […]
We start with selecting the finest parents but that is only the very beginning. Creating dogs with stellar temperaments requires more than just putting two excellent parents together. We also provide our growing puppies with the best scientifically-proven methods available to produce smarter, more confident dogs that make amazing companions and dedicated workers. Want to […]
This is a long article, but for the short of it you’ll need about $59,052 to begin a breeding program, nearly 2 years and about 2,200 hours of labor before you ever have a puppy in hand. Don’t let that scare you, though. (ok, how can it not?) You only need some of this upfront and the […]

Many times a year I am approached or emailed by people interested in becoming a breeder. It is always a very good idea for would-be new breeders to seek out the guidance and mentorship of an experienced breeder. We have a serious shortage of good breeders in North America and the hybrid breeds suffer […]
My heart is full right now and I feel especially blessed by God. I honestly couldn’t feel more content with life or more joyful. I am often asked what the worst parts of breeding are but hardly anyone asks about the very best parts. Believe me, there are lots of tough parts in being a […]
I often read critics of new or developing (and improving) dog breeds state that dogs like the Cockapoo are not hybrids, as they are not the cross between two species of animal. Unfortunately, this particular belief regarding the definition of the word ‘hybrid’ is quite incorrect. To help you (and any critic who may choose […]
