Q. & A. with Catherine
Why did you start breeding?
I grew up on a dairy farm and beef farm. Breeding and genetics has been a part of my life since a young girl. I prioritize health and diverse lines along with temperament. Color is a last priority to me. We want healthy & hardy pets with exceptional personalities!What makes your program special?
Our puppies & kitties are extremely well socialized! They’re loved on and cared for daily by our homeschool children. We are self employed and able to be attentive to our pets needs, health, and mental health every day. We work daily on good habits and training and aim to train pets out of early anxiety habits. Adaptable, happy, healthy family companions is our goal!What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red, black and white, black and tan, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent dogs
Fern, mom
Cavapoo
About Fern
Fern is our amazing F1 Cavapoo momma. She’s truthfully the best temperament dog we’ve ever owned. We are huge Cavapoo advocates and Fern stands to be an excellent representation of the crossbreed’s sought after qualities. Very clean health testing and the sweetest, most adaptable dog you may ever meet. She LOVES being a mom, going for walks, and playing so gingerly with our children and the Siberian kittens in our Russian Siberian program. Life would not be the same without Fern and her big loving heart! Her babies have her incredible temperament snd that is what we strive to pass on to other families.
