About Us.... and our Holistic Approach
About Us.... and our Holistic Approach
We are Holistic breeders of retriever doodles. We are proud of buiilding a greener dog. We focus on improving the immune system of our dogs by promoting Proper nutrition; reduced exposure to chemicals; reducing over exposure to vaccinations and introducing natural treatments for parasites, fleas and ticks. We believe education and support for new pet owners helps new adoptions be more successful and with less failed adoptions.
Our approach is to breed smaller framed animals - medium size - to reduce stress on hips and joints. We breed a hybrid to increase the likelyhood of a heathier dog with a better immune system than purebred breeds. With years of inline breeding, purebred breeds suffer from reduced immune systems and chronic breed specific health issues. With the introduction of stock from new lines from europe and other areas in the world, we strengthen the immune system with diversity, and we DO NOT breed ANY related animals. The size we breed is medium also, because of the poodle element. We do not use MINIATURE poodles because of their undesireable personality and mentality; which is the polar opposite of a retriever temperment. Breeding a miniature and a retriever often results in an unpredictable size outcome AND a bi-polar personality which cannot be trusted.
We are very happy to have you visit us and learn more about us, our dogs and our Ranch.

Titer Testing
Titer Testing
Avoid vaccinating your adult dog every year as it will lower his immunity over time and shorten his life. Ask your vet about Titer testing. A blood test that tells you IF you pet NEEDS the vaccination.

What is Diatomaceous Earth
Diatomaceous earth consists of fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of hard-shelled protist. It is used as a filtration aid, mild abrasive in products including metal polishes and toothpaste, mechanical insecticide, absorbent for liquids, matting agent for coatings, reinforcing filler in plastics and rubber, anti-block in plastic films, porous support for chemical catalysts, cat litter, activator in blood clotting studies, a stabilizing component of dynamite, a thermal insulator, and a soil for potted plants and trees like bonsai. Food grade is used for human cleanse and used for internal parasites in humans and animals.
DE Your back yard.
Diatomaceous earth is a viable way to treat large amounts of your property, without worrying about pollution. Diatomaceous earth kills ticks by mechanical action on a microscopic level, not by chemical methods. This makes it a good choice to use alongside targeted and responsible pesticide usage, like tick tubes. Use a grass seed spreader to treat your yard.
Tea Tree Spray and Diatomaceous Earth (DE) Food Grade
1. Flea and Tick Repellent
Tea Tree Spray Repels flea and ticks. Use daily.
2. Kill Flea and Ticks
On the microscopic level, diatomaceous earth resembles bits of broken glass. Though food-grade DE is harmless to humans and animals, those itty-bitty glass-like fragments kill insects like fleas, ticks, lice and mites (and their larvae) by piercing their protective structures, which causes them to dehydrate and die.
Apply the DE lightly on your pet’s coat, as well as on bedding and carpeting. It can take three days for it to do its work, so leave it in any carpeting for at least that long before vacuuming.
Note: Since DE acts as a drying agent, your pet could get some dry skin. If this happens, bathe him with a hydrating pet conditioner.
3. Garden Pest Control
Because DE repels and kills everything from ants, caterpillars, army worms, cockroaches, snails, spiders and termites to silverfish, earwigs, bed bugs, fruit flies and beetles (remember: it’ll keep the ticks away too!), diatomaceous earth is great for the garden – especially if you have pets roaming around there and don’t want to use chemical pesticides. Simply sprinkle in the area, or mix with water and spray on trees about a cup to a 1/2 gallon of water should do the trick. Make sure to apply repeatedly.
4. Healthy Supplement
Because DE is full of minerals (magnesium, silicon, calcium, sodium, iron and other trace minerals), it’s also known to help keep pets – and people – healthy when eaten; skin, hair and nails and lower blood cholesterol are all potential benefits.
It’s also known as an overall detoxifier, which is probably why deworming is another common use for DE.
5. Natural Dewormer
Taken internally, DE can rid dogs of roundworms, whipworms, pinworms and hookworms – though they are less effective against tapeworms – within a week of daily feeding. It should be fed for at least a month in order to kill hatching eggs and worms moving in and out of the stomach.
Make sure to mix the DE well into your dog’s food to prevent lung irritation from his breathing in the powder.
6. Chemical-Free Deodorizer
If your problem is stinky dog, you can also use DE as a natural deodorizer. Dust your carpet or other stinky area with DE and leave it for about a day, then vacuum or sweep it up. (If you are using it on carpet, make sure to vacuum your carpet before using the DE too.) For cat owners, mix in some DE with your kitty litter to neutralize odors.
Dosage:
To use DE as a dewormer or food supplement, use the following amounts:
1/2 tsp for puppies and small dogs
1 tsp for dogs under 50 lbs
1 tbsp for dogs over 50 lbs
2 tbsp for dogs over 100 lbs
So there you have it, 6 easy ways you can incorporate DE into your pet’s life for some natural housekeeping and nutrition boosting. Two important points to always remember when using DE: Never use the kind used in gardens and pool filters, it MUST be food grade or you will harm your pet. Also, avoid inhaling DE for you and your pets, as it is a lung irritant.

What our customers are saying
What our customers are saying
Our family could not be happier with our puppy. The total experience was professional, efficient, and yet compassionate for our family and our puppy's needs. Our puppy is now 6 and has grown to be a very healthy dog, both physically and mentally. The interaction did not end with the sale, on several occasion we appreciated you reaching out to check on Theo's progress. As I reflect on my experience with this breeder, I can honestly say there is nothing throughout the process that was disappointing. I would have no hesitation in recommending you.
