Our Property

Where Our Hearts Are Perched

Our Home

This isn't just where we've chosen to raise puppies and start a business... it's where we've laid roots, started our family, and created a home of the heart. We drink our morning coffee to the sight of the faded Great North Mountain of Appalachia, work in the shade of Signal Knob's frozen wave, drive to our trusted reproductive vet through the rolling Blue Ridge, and our daily walks curve past mills and farms and creeks that are old enough to have seen war and prosperity alike. The Shenandoah Valley is our home and Middletown is our hearth.

Every dog on our property, whether they're taking a break from their Guardian families to have their puppies, or our personal pets, enjoy six acres of safely fenced running space, cattle to cajole, and cats to play with.

Premium Cottages

Each of our litters are born and raised in beautiful, custom-made cottages right next to our home. Atmospherically controlled, safe, sequestered, clean, and calming cubicles house our litters and mamas during the whelping and weening phases. We clean constantly to ensure that the spaces are always sanitary.

These spaces are mostly empty after our puppies go home because we rely on a Guardian Program to ensure our parent dogs spend their lives in family homes as pets during and after their breeding career.

These cottages merely house our active infant litters and occasional short-term parent stays between reproductive visits. We don't believe in prison setups designed to house dogs for their lifespan, which is typical of many breeding operations.
