Why did you start breeding?
We both love dogs and wanted to start small to provide families with loving pets.
What makes your program special?
Our dogs live in our homes, and are our pets first and foremost. We make every effort to find good, supportive loving homes for our puppies and we work with buyers to get our puppies to the best homes.

Our Pomsky puppies are standard size. Cockapoo puppies are mini size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

Our Pomsky puppies include black and white, chocolate, merle, and red and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
