Willow Lane Puppy

Abe K.

Breeder of Cockapoos

  • Lucas, OH

Meet the breeder

I'm Abe K., the breeder behind Willow Lane Puppy located in Lucas, OH. Our story began with our own sweet Cocker Spaniels and a shared love for faith, family, and dogs. We carefully choose AKC-registered, health-tested parents, keep puppies until 10 weeks for extra training and snuggles, and focus on delivering confident, well-loved companions ready to join your family.

Q. & A. with Abe

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Abe grew up helping in his family’s puppy breeding business, learning every step of the whelping, raising, training, and delivery process. After marrying Kaylee—who was raised on a farm and loves teaching—breeding Cockapoos together became a way to blend our skills, create a small home-based program, and give other families the kind of steady, loving dogs we always dreamed of.

  • What makes your program special?

    What makes Willow Lane Puppy special is how intentionally hands-on the early weeks are. Along with raising Cockapoos in our home, we use ENS, ESI, sensory pads, and gentle socialization games to build resilient little brains, then start outdoor potty trips 6–7 times a day at 6½ weeks and keep puppies until 10 weeks to further potty and crate training so they can step into families with confidence.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

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

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include brown white and tan, red and white, red, golden, cream, buff and white, buff, brown and white, brown and tan, and brown. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Fair warning, this is a longer review because our experience meant so much to us, and I hope it helps another family find the perfect puppy, just like we did. After saying goodbye to our beloved Cockapoo of 17.5 years, we knew how important it was to find not just another Cockapoo, but the right breeder. Our dogs are our family, so we were incredibly selective. From the moment we connected with Abe, we knew we had found someone who cared just as deeply about his dogs as we do. Abe was kind, genuine, responsive, and so easy to work with. He answered every question quickly, kept us informed of every health update, and regularly sent photos and videos of our puppy growing up. Those little updates meant so much to us and made the wait so much easier. We also met over Zoom before bringing our puppy home, which gave us the chance to get to know each other and made us feel even more confident in our decision. Our puppy is the sweetest, happiest, most affectionate little boy, and he has the most wonderful temperament. He's also unbelievably handsome with the most beautiful coloring. We get compliments on him everywhere we go! It's clear that the care, socialization, and love he received from the very beginning have made such a difference. We couldn't be happier, and we're so grateful that Abe brought this amazing little guy into our lives. If you're considering a Cockapoo, we cannot recommend Willow Lane Puppy highly enough. We would choose him again in a heartbeat and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to our family and friends. Thank you for helping us find the perfect addition to our family, we love him more than words can say!

    Abe was super kind and helpful throughout this whole process. As a first time dog owner he was patient and answered all of my questions. Abe was very knowledgeable. He made himself available and didn’t hesitate to just on a call or FaceTime.
