Meet the breeder

I'm Lacey M., the breeder behind Ever After Tails located in Troy, OH. At Ever After Tails, we raise puppies in our home as part of our family. As a homeschool mom and ethical breeder, I’m devoted to health, temperament, and thoughtful placements. We pour love and intention into every litter so each puppy’s story begins with care and trust.

Q. & A. with Lacey

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My love for dogs and the miracle of new life led me into breeding. Being part of the miracle of birth and watching puppies grow is something I never take for granted. I fell in love with matching families with their perfect companion — seeing the smiles, the first cuddles, and the wagging tails makes it all worthwhile.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our puppies are raised in our home, not a kennel. From early socialization to thoughtful daily interaction, we focus on confidence and connection. We prioritize ethical practices and careful placement so families feel reassured and excited. At Ever After Tails, we don’t just raise puppies — we help begin lifelong bonds.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Shihpoo puppies include tiny and mini sizes. Poodle puppies are toy size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Shih Tzu puppies include tricolor, black, blue, brindle and white, black and white, blue and white, liver and white, and brindle. Yorkipoo puppies include tri-color, parti, and silver. Shichon puppies include cream, silver, black and white, and brown and white. Shihpoo puppies include black white and silver, liver and white, blue and white, and black and white.

    I recently had a wonderful experience picking out my little girl pup to come home this Summer. Lacey responded quickly with my first inquiry and was informative and helpful right from the start. It's a big decision and there are so many breeders and puppy pictures out there to choose from, it can be overwhelming and make you feel very unsure of what to trust. This is a trustworthy breeder who truly loves her pups and gives them a great start. My puppy is healthy and adorable and has such a cute personality. I fell in love with her the moment I held her :-) I would absolutely recommend Lacey to anyone looking for their perfect puppy. Thank you for adding so much joy to my life with Willow June!

    I found Lacey by the grace of god. When I first spoke with Lacey I just knew that I was meant to have two of her puppies. Lacey made me feel like I had known her forever . She was open and very understanding with me with all the questions I asked of her. Her answers to me were from a person that was very knowledgeable as a breeder and offered ideas on how to be part of the puppies lives even before picking them up. That was very comforting to me when I was so far away. She fully answered my questions on health and personal care and right down to types of dog food. When speaking with Lacey you can feel how passionate she is about what she does as a breeder. That she truly loves what she does and her love of her dogs it shows in her conversations and in her puppies . I would give Lacey a A+ she always got back to me in a short time. Was open to face timing and long chats. She made the experience easy and less stressful. Lacey was willing to work with me on everything. I never felt rushed or pressured by her. I would recommend her as a top notch professional breeder. I have gained two beautiful health pups. They are litter box trained which is so helpful. Lacey is an excellent choice if you are looking for a puppy made from love ❤️.

    Buying a puppy for the first time I was hesitant and unsure what to expect. In communicating with Lacey she was able to answer all my questions about our puppy and has continued to answer any questions after we received our puppy. Margot is the sweetest puppy and does so well in social setting. I would highly recommend Lacey

    Lacey was super responsive and able to work around both of our schedules for pick up! She clearly loves her dogs and Jackie (formerly Emily) has become a great addition to our family.
