CocoPuff

Ember Mae

Our sweet little Ember is all of 9 lbs and as fierce as they come! She is such a joy to watch and brings endless love and laughter to our family. Ember, our AKC Havanese, is a playful little spirit who loves to join in on football games with the boys, but she’s also content to snuggle with me during coffee time. While she’s incredibly calm and often lazy, she can be surprisingly fast and energetic when the kids are ready to play.

We brought Ember home when she was just 8 weeks old and weighed only 2 lbs. As the daughter of our sweet stud Snoopy, she holds a special place in our hearts. We watched her grow from day one, visiting her while she was still so tiny, and the day she came home with us was truly unforgettable.

Each of our dogs has their own unique personality and occupies a very special spot in our hearts. Ember has formed a particularly strong bond with our oldest son. Even if the whole family is on the couch, she will seek him out, settle down next to him, and cuddle. It's incredible how dogs seem to choose their person for reasons only they understand, and we’re so grateful that Ember has chosen him.

CocoPuff, our 9lb Chocolate Havanese, has been an absolute joy in our lives. This amazing little girl traveled all the way from Georgia, and though the flight was long and tiring, she quickly adjusted—though admittedly, she was a bit cranky for the first few days after her arrival! At just 2 lbs, she was a feisty, spirited puppy who had never been around children before, so coming to a home with three dog-loving kids was a big adjustment for her. I hadn’t anticipated how much time and patience it would take for her to feel comfortable. The kids learned to give her space and let her approach them on her own terms, and over time, she began to warm up to them.

Though Coco loves the kids and will happily play with them, she has never formed quite the same bond as some of our other dogs who were raised around children from day one. She definitely has a soft spot for adults and tends to prefer their company.

When Coco arrived, she was so tiny and that gorgeous, rich chocolate coat was simply beautiful. While I will always love that deep, chocolate hue, I wouldn’t trade the color she has matured into now. She has blossomed into such a beautiful dog, both inside and out. From the moment she arrived, I’ve adored her. She is my baby, my shadow, and a true "Mommy’s girl."

CocoPuff is also an exceptional mother. She not only cares for her puppies with immense love and tenderness, but she also teaches them manners in a way no one else could. Watching her with them makes me so proud.

Coco loves her walks and enjoys being outside, always eager to help with chores. She is such an easy-going dog, full of love that she so generously passes down to her sweet little babies.

CocoPuff, you are truly amazing, and I feel so fortunate to have you in my life.

Cowboy

“Retired” will forever live with us, He has quite the story in our little family. I will tell you the highlights on him. but for rest of his story check out his very own Blog “A Girl and her Poodle” for a heartwarming Story.

He is Our AKC Mini Poodle, 14lbs. Silver Phantom, and best personality. He came to us an adult and I will say he made his home right here with us, we have had many of his babies (Very exceptional dogs, its amazing the personalities that have come from this guy!), He is getting close to retirement from being a stud, but he will remain with us.

He is Our AKC Mini Poodle, 14lbs. Merle, and best personality has a true love for life and the kids! He is definitely my shadow, he really is so easy going and happy, Loves the couch, and walks!

GingerSnaps

Our wonderful 8.5 lb AKC Miniature Poodle, Ginger, came into our lives in a rather adventurous way. I found her in North Dakota and arranged for the only flight nanny available locally, who was willing to travel to ND in December—a decision that, as you can imagine, came with its challenges. My flight nanny, however, has since become my top recommendation for all out-of-state puppies, having safely delivered nearly all of them since that cold December.

When she arrived in North Dakota, it was late at night during a major snowstorm, and the weather made it impossible to get a shuttle to her hotel. It was quite a chaotic situation, but she managed to get our little Ginger to us the following day. By the time she made it back home, it was 3 a.m., but she had taken incredible care of Ginger during the entire trip.

Ginger’s arrival happened to coincide with a tough time for our family—our oldest son was very sick, battling both strep and the flu, and we had been in and out of the ER. Naturally, he wanted his mom, so my loving husband took on puppy duty. During that week, he and Ginger formed an unbreakable bond, and to this day, Ginger is "Aaron’s dog." It's remarkable how quickly they connected. From the very first moment, Ginger adored him, and the feeling was mutual.

Aaron, while a dog lover, had never really been the "dog person" in the family—he enjoys pets, but I am the one who truly believes that life isn’t complete without a dog. So, it’s been such a joy to see him form such a deep and caring connection with a dainty, long-legged poodle. He is completely smitten, and we all find it so endearing.

Ginger has such a calm, loving personality. She is incredibly intelligent, almost as if she can communicate with us. She loves to sit with us and sip coffee every chance she gets, and she’s always eager to curl up in bed. If Aaron isn’t home, she’s often found taking care of his daughter, joining her on slides, bouncing on the trampoline, or running alongside her scooter, even bouncing on the bounce castle (click on castle for an adorable video!)

In every sense, Ginger has completed our family, bringing joy, love, and a sense of wholeness to our home.

Meet Bluey – our stunning Mini “Blue Merle” Aussiedoodle with striking crystal blue eyes! As many of you know, we live on 7 acres in the countryside, surrounded by wide open spaces and our beloved chickens. We wanted a dog that was a little larger than our small breeds, yet not so big that it would overwhelm our little ones. At 24lbs, Bluey is absolutely perfect.

Bluey is not only the protector and guardian of our pack, but she also has an incredible nurturing instinct. She plays with our smaller dogs and watches over them with a gentle, caring demeanor. One of the most heartwarming things we’ve seen is how she looks after our youngest pups. If Cowboy, our mischievous dog, tries to steal a treat from one of them, Bluey is quick to swoop in, reclaiming the treat and returning it to its rightful owner—talk about a true guardian!

Bluey’s personality is nothing short of remarkable. She has a therapy-like presence, always attuned to the needs of both her canine companions and the humans in our family. When one of the kids is feeling down or unwell, she’ll quietly lay next to them, resting her head on their lap, simply waiting for things to get better.

It’s moments like these that remind me how incredibly blessed we are to have such loving, devoted dogs. My oldest child often says, “Mom, we are so blessed to have such good dogs.” And I couldn’t agree more. We truly are blessed.

Ripple

Meet our handsome AKC Mini Poodle, Ripple, a delightful Black Phantom weighing just 11lbs. He’s truly a little treasure, and I can’t express enough how much we adore him. Ripple comes from the same breeder as Cowboy and Rosie, although none of the three are related. His journey to becoming part of our family has been quite a story.

We waited for years to find the perfect addition to our family, and when Ripple was born, we initially chose his brother, Bingo. Yes, we did—admittedly, I was a little clouded by color and selected Bingo over Ripple. From the very beginning, though, our breeder gently urged me that I had made the wrong choice. It took until Ripple was five weeks old for me to realize she was right. Our sweet little boy had been there all along, waiting for us to recognize him as our dog.

I’m so grateful that the breeder persisted in pointing out Ripple to us—without that guidance, we might have missed out on this wonderful little soul. Ripple is the ultimate love bug, and we couldn’t be happier with him. Not only does he bring stunning colors and size to our program, but his personality is simply exceptional. He has the most endearing, affectionate nature and is cherished by every member of our family.

We named him Ripple, inspired by the show Yellowstone, but as he’s grown, we’ve come to realize that this little man is anything but tough—he’s all heart! While poodles are known for their high prey drive, Ripple couldn’t be more different. He wouldn’t hurt a fly and is, without a doubt, the most gentle and loving dog. His main focus is love and harmony, and he walks around giving kisses to all the other dogs. At first, they weren’t sure how to handle his affection, but now it’s become a delightful routine. You can almost see them rolling their eyes as if to say, “Okay, little man, we get it—bring on the love and happiness.”

We are truly blessed to have dogs who not only love each other but are also so kind and affectionate toward everyone they meet.

Our Sweet little Snoop is AKC Havanese Chocolate Parti, 9lbs, Funny, happy all the time and loves to cuddle!
