We’re a small, family-based breeder raising our dogs in a loving home—not a kennel. Our puppies are part of our daily life, handled and socialized from birth by both adults and children.

Our parent dogs are well-cared for, health-checked, and treated as cherished family members.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Shihpoo puppies are mini size. Cockapoo puppies are mini size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

As a first time puppy owner Shelby really made the process easy and stress free! She had no problem answering all of my questions and helped me make the process as stressfree as possible.
Lisette P.
Verified owner · June 2026
Shelby was absolutely amazing to work with! When I first reached out she responded quickly, and she answered all of my questions about the puppy/breed I was interested in. She gave me weekly updates about my boy (and a little extra photos/videos when I asked)! Shelby is a true animal lover! Just know that if you choose to work with her to get a puppy, you will get a puppy that is healthy and happy! Shelby taught my boy so much when he was with her, and I’m truly thankful for that!! When the day came for pickup, Shelby gave me the medical records and a nice goody bag to help my boy settle into his new home. Also, Shelby let me know that I can always reach out to ask any questions or to send photos!
