Ethically Raised Dogs in the Heart of Minnesota

We are a small, family-run breeding program devoted to raising healthy, well-balanced puppies known for intelligence, temperament, and companionship.

Each puppy is raised in our home and surrounded by daily life, early enrichment, and intentional care from the very beginning.

Raised in our home. Ready for yours.

Current & Upcoming Litters

Spring 2026 — Standard Poodles
• Fiona × Claude → smaller standards (≈45–50 lbs), solid coats, bright people-focused temperaments.
Planned via artificial insemination at Fiona’s next heat.

• Cosette × Pecco → larger, calm-natured standards with beautiful phantom and parti coloring.
PennHIP complete with excellent results.

Families on our waitlist will receive the first updates once pregnancies are confirmed.

Looking Ahead — Doodles

Betty will not move forward in our doodle program after OFA review. We are thoughtfully evaluating Rooney and Jane, both genetically clear through Embark and scheduled for PennHIP testing later this year.

Because we wait until our dogs are at least two years old before breeding,
doodle puppies would not be expected until late summer 2027 at the earliest.
