About Us
We, along with our 13 children, lavish each of our dogs and puppies with love, attention, and hands-on care from the very day they are born. You'll be hard pressed to find a puppy who experienced a greater showing of love or attention than ours! Take a look at our Gallery to see what everyday life looks like at our Kennel.
Our Pug(s), Beagles, and Puggles are strictly indoor-kept dogs who enjoy comfy surfaces, top medical care, the very best of food and free run inside of our large home. Our dogs are usually found napping on our laps during the day and sleeping in our beds whenever it is possible to do so!
We are not puppy mill, nor are we a large kennel. At any given time, we hold no more than 10 dogs down here in Illinois. We do not have high numbers of litters, as we firmly believe in quality over quantity. In fact, there are some years that we do not allow any of our dogs to procreate; we have enforced rest periods & retirements. Again, quality over quantity. As ladies of leisure, they worked on their training in-between sofa naps and playing with chew toys.
Our puppies receive top of the line wormer and first immunizations prior to going to their loving, new homes. They are socialized with noise, silence, other dogs of varying sizes/ages/stages, cats and kittens, and flurries of activity (like our dinner times), our children ranging in age from 6-27, electronic media, and are introduced to paper-training between weeks four (4) through eight (8) so as to teach the concept of acceptable areas to relieve themselves.
All of our puppies have been touched and held since the day they were born. We truly enjoy handling them daily with petting and holding by both our family and friends. We also introduce them to play and toys so that they can begin to learn how to entertain themselves and what is acceptable to chew on. In this way, we get to know their core personalities, which can help with making solid matches with interested families.
They are so accustomed to receiving love that they are already great cuddlers by the time they go home with their adoptive families. And, because we rank personality as highly as we do their present and future health, not to mention show conformation, our Puggle and Beagle puppies are bred to be wonderful companions and suited to lengthy indoor life with the humans that they readily bond with.
We do not breed any dog or bitch who fails to meet our very stringent standards. Quality in, quality out.

One of the many socializations that takes place with our puppies: getting to know the cats. We try to acclimate them to many things they could experience in the adoptive family's homes.
