*About Us
Hello & Welcome!
About Us:
We are your ordinary all-American family of 5, with three small children, ages 6, 3, and 1.
And of course our much-loved dogs (along with some various barnyard critters).
One of our favorite family endeavors is raising great family dogs. Our number-one goal is to raise quality puppies that are well-rounded, socialized, and healthy, who will make the best possible family pets.
We are a very small-time breeder. These dogs are our pets and friends
first & foremost!
We only have 4 breeding dogs: Our male Cocker Spaniel and our
3 Bichon Frise Girls (these three produce our Cock-A-Chon puppies).
By only having a few dogs, we're able to keep them as family members
and give them the proper attention and care that they need and desire.
From the day our puppies are born, they are handled and loved.
Puppies are handled by our young children daily, so are used to, and
adore children. Everybody that comes in our house holds and plays
with the puppies. They are handled by children & adults, so are used
to everybody. As they get older, they are introduced to our other
critters & allowed to socialize with anything & everything. Our puppies
are raised as part of the family so they are well adjusted and socialized
as well as excellent with children, cats & other dogs.
Up until 2005-2006 we raised purebred Bichon Frises.
But because of the demand for designer non-shed smaller-type dogs
that come in a variety of colors, we have revised our breeding program.
We are now breeding Cock-A-Chons; creating puppies with
the best of both breeds! They are no/low shed with unique colors.
They have excellent temperaments, are great with kids and are happy,
energetic, sturdy family dogs who typically stay around 15 pounds.

Our dogs are our family hobby, not our career or income. A good share
of the money that we make from our puppies is put right back into
giving our adult dogs and our puppies the best possible care,
food, toys, supplements & supplies. The dogs are part of our family
and live in the house with us (and sleep on our beds...our daughter
will not go to sleep unless her "Wacy Doggy" is sleeping on her bed
with her). You're assured you're not getting a puppy from some
terrible puppy mill or from poor dogs living in rabbit cages in a barn
or basement! Also, we DO NOT and never will agree with or participate
in the practices of line-breeding or inbreeding!

All our puppies are vet checked and receive their first shots.
They are wormed regularily, from the time they are 2 weeks old, as well.
Our puppies are available to go to their new homes once they have
gotten their vet check. We try to arrange to have the puppies go to their new families around 7 weeks old. A lot of research has been done, and it has been determined that 7 weeks, NOT 8 weeks, is most ideal for a puppies transition to a new family. At this age primary "doggy" socialization has already been established because of the puppies direct contact with it's mother and littermates. The puppy can now identify between itself and humans & recognizes the difference (realizes that it is a dog and humans are humans). At 7 weeks it does not suffer as much from separation, and bonds faster and better with it's new family. During the eighth week fear of change appears, thus true separatation anxiety will effect the puppy when it's transitioned to it's new life and can make the change more traumatic on the puppy (and new family). Our puppies come with a Puppy Kit which typically
includes a sample bag of Puppy food, coupons, health history sheet, puppy care book, and other goodies (usually a toy, blanket, collar, chewies and blanket).
Happy Dogs! 6 week old Bichon puppy.
