About

Here is a little history behind our site.  We want you to understand the family our puppies come from,  why we raise them, and how much we really LOVE it. 

We raise our puppies on a small farm in southern Missouri.   The doggies are first our friends, pets, and companions.  They keep us company and give us a lot of enjoyment.  Our family consists of myself, Patricia, and my husband Donald.  We have two children; our son Donavan and our daughter Danyiel.  Donavan is in collage and Danyiel is in high school.  We all spend time with the dogs and puppies, though I spend the most time with them as I take care of them, feed, water, and run to the vet's for checkups. 

We started hobby breeding several years ago,  in 1989.  At that time we were raising Shar-pei.  We learned a lot about breeding, raising puppies, coat conditons, coat colors, and overall health of the dogs.  All but one of our loved  Shar-pei's have passed on to doggie heaven.  Countess Coca is still with us.  She is now 13 years old and enjoying retired life.

We believe in feeding a good quality dog food to our babies and adults.  We feed ProPac brand dog food.  Our baby Min Pins and Pugs are on Propac Lamb and rice puppy formula. Our baby Bloodhounds are on ProPac large breed puppy formula.  Our adult Min-Pins and Pugs are eating a mix of  adult ProPac lamb and rice and ProPac Chicken formula.  Our adult Bloodhounds are on a mix of adult ProPac lamb and rice and ProPac large breed adult.  We believe the more natural the dog food formula the better it is for your puppy or adult dog.  We don't like dog food that has a high content of corn fillers as they are not good for dogs.  We also use NuVet vitamins, which all of our puppy's are on before they leave us.  They are an all natural  human grade vitamin that has been formulated with the health of your pet as top priority and we do ask you order those for your puppy at least one week prior to your puppy leaving us.

In 1990 we bought our first Min Pin, his name is Spike and he still is with us, though old.  He gets around really well.  Spike has been through a long and happy doggie life with us.  He has been pulled around in the kids wagon, ridden in bicycle baskets, and has worn more doll dresses than he cares to discuss!  So please don't ask him! 

In 1998 we bought our first  Min Pins to raise puppy's from, as our daughter Danyiel wanted little puppies of her own to raise.  This was going to be just a couple of girls and one boy.  We started with CD,  a black and tan female, Niki a black and tan female and Buddy, a black and tan male.  CD came from Nixa Missouri and Buddy and Niki from  the Traylers, very nice breeders, in Pottersville Missouri.  We have kept puppies from them and bought more puppy's and dogs as time has passed.  We have the different colors of Min Pin's;  black and tan, black and rust, chocolate and tan, blue and tan, and tan with rust markings (fawn).  We now have almost 2 dozen Min Pins.  Some are just pets, some are raising puppies for us, and some are retired.  We have a small kennel building where part of the doggies live.  Some of the puppies are raised in it, and some are raised in the house.  Our dogs are allowed to run outside and are able to go inside in the heat of the summer day or the cold winter days and nights.  They have doggie doors and yards to run in.  Ahhh the leisure life of a dog!  Some of the dogs live in the house as some are just really extra special babies to us!  It does seem that our lives no longer revolve around our 2 legged children, but our 4 legged ones!

In 2003 my son wanted a Bloodhound.  With no intentions of raising big dogs that slobber...we bought our son Donavan our first male, "Bear" from some really good breeders ,Oberbecks in Lebanon Missouri.   Bear  is a saddled black and tan.  Bear was such a joy and fun to play with that we decided to  get a girl friend for him.  We made the trip to northern Missouri to the Morrison farm where we picked out our liver and tan girls.  Yes, we went for one but fell in love with two. Not able to choose between the the two, we came home with Ms Copper, a full coated liver and tan, and Ms Stormy, a saddled liver and tan.  Thank you Morrisons for two awesome beautiful girls!   In 2005 we kept a puppy from Ms Copper and Bear, a saddled, black and tan,  which we named Roxy.   In that same summer we also found Jenny Ann, who was already two years old; a red.  She originated from Neil's in Hartville MO.  In  the summer of 2006 we sadly lost our Ms Copper who's paw tracks will never be filled, though through some miracle of fate, one of Ms Coppers spring babies, Bonnie who looks remarkably like her mom, came back to live with us, we call her Bon Bon, she is very loving and is alway ready for attention!  In Dec of 2006 we had Melody come to live with us, Mel for short.  Mel is a saddled black and tan out of some really nice import lines.  We expect great things from her in the future.   

2006 brought around the decision to work on the new breed of dogs called Carlin Pinschers, they are a hybrid mix of mainly minpin and pug.  We just have a few of these so we will not have but a few puppies a year.  The first generation puppies, F1's are all red, fawn or black in color.  The second generation puppies F2's should have a % of black and tan, blue and tan or chocolate and tan in the litters which is the colors we are working for.   Our puppies all have originated from AKC bloodline dogs, but as a new breed will be registered with UABR in thier new division.  We bought our first male from a breeder in MN, his name is Pooh Bear and he is a chocolate stag.  Very unique coloring.  We have one girl from the "06" litter,  her name is Ebony and two girls from  "07" litters,  Harmony a solid black and Ivory is a fawn.  We are hoping for big things from these new lines in the future. 

In the fall of 2004 and the spring of 2005 my daughter bought Sandi and then Tito, both teacup Chihuahua's.  Sandi a fawn who reached an adult weight of 2.5lbs and Tito, a brindle, 3.5lbs.    They belong to Danyiel and are her buddies and tiny bed warmers. 

Thank you for taking the time to read about our family,
