We have over fifty years combined experience with dogs and farm animals.  Our home is in the country surrounded by large farms near Dayton, Ohoi.

Having Labs for more than 35 years and growing up with Labs as well.  Our Labs were involved in the AKC show ring, agility and obedience as well.

We have certification in Reiki and the Tellington Touch and use these techniques daily on our pets and animals.

Our journey began with the Coton de Tulear in 1999 when we began research of the breed looking for a smaller breed of dog that was intelligent, loving and gentle like Labs.

We worked with several breeders in the USA, but could not find a breeder that imported their foundation stock.  The breed is rare and subsequently must be imported.  So we devoted our attention to breeders in Europe and other countries.

Soon we discovered that the Coton de Tulear was in the middle of change here in the United States due to the numerous breeders that were mixing the Coton with Havanese, Yorkies, Poodles, Bichon Frise and other breeds.  We found the tall Coton de Tulear being sold in the United States and no where else in the world, which was a huge red flag.  Then we found Coton de Tulears that were solid black and solid brown in color --- the coat never to change, then we knew we needed to skip that certain breeder and move on. 

We only have Cotons in our lives, they live with us full time, we do not have dog runs or a kennel.  The county where we live we are only allowed four pets and we have three.  Our Cotons receive full health exams yearly, checking heart, blood, eyes, etc.  We don't skip any health exams.

All injections are current, de-worming is current.  Plus we feed only dry Life Abundance food and give NuVet tabs daily.
