About Our Puppies

PUGGLES are great family dogs. They are friendly happy little creatures that enjoy children and get along well with other pets. They are bright and adventurous. Puggles are lap dogs like their pug sires, but have the energy to run and play like their beagle mothers. They are the best of both breeds. They are very intelligent and potty train quicker than any breed of dogs that I have ever known. Our standard puggles generally range in weight from 14-20 pound as adults.

PETITE PUGGLES are 3/4 pug and 1/4 beagle. They are typically a little smaller than the standard puggles and tend to look more like pugs. They have shorter ears and snouts than the standard puggles. If you like the long floppy-eared beagle look, you should consider a standard puggle.

GOLDEN RETRIEVERS are known for their unconditional love and devotion to their families. They are the ultimate family pet. They are playful happy dogs. Golden's are always looking to please their owners and are magnificent canine specimens. Golden's are noble and extremely loyal to their families. They are oftentimes used to aid the blind because of their devotion and superior intellect. The safety and lives of millions of Americans depend on golden retrievers everyday as they sniff for bombs in airports and in every large city in our country. They are wonderful family dogs but also great watch dogs. I thank God for golden retrievers of which I have two.

COCK-A-POOS and PEK-A-POOS are wonderful family pets.Our cock-a-poos are bred with cocker spaniel mothers and a miniature poodle sire. The pekapoos have a pekenese mother and a toy poodle sire. Both Cock-a-poos and Pek-a-poos are delightful family pets. They are very intelligent, playful and cuddly. Our pek-a-poos are generally just a tad bit smaller than the cock-a-poos.

SHIBA-INUS are independent and very intelligent dogs. They are extremely loyal and affectionate to those who earn their respect. They are very dignified dogs who are strikingly beautiful as adults. If you live an active life style a shiba-inu is a perfect match Shiba-inus do need a lot of exercise so if you love to run and jog your shiba-inu will definitely be able to keep up with your pace.

 

A Note from Bernadette

A Note From Bernadette:

My love for animals started very early. As a child, I spent all of my summers on my grandparents' farm in Pennsylvania. I have loved and cared for animals all of my life. I have had every pet imaginable and even rescued white mice from a dental school when my brother Ed was a student.

I've always dreamed of working with animals in some capacity and after moving to central New York, my lifelong dream has become a reality.

I breed golden retriever puppies. They are born and raised in my home. The puggles, poodle mixes and shiba inus are raised on farms which are owned by two of my trusted friends Lawrence and Leon. They have large families with wonderful children that handle and play with the puppies. Lawrence, Leon and myself are all licensed by The State of New York. They are also licensed by the USDA. We take great pride in our healthy, happy puppies and in all the families who are repeat customers and who confidently refer us to their friends.

THIS IS MUCH MORE THAN A BUSINESS. WE LOVE OUR DOGS AND PUPPIES.

We work with three excellent Cornell-trained vets who visit the farms on a regular basis to care for the adult dogs and immunize and examine the puppies. I have been blessed to have one of my favorite vets Dr. Norris buy the house right next door to me. So, in a moments notice I have a vet on hand. We also work with a wonderful seasoned country vet , Doc Underwood that is a never ending source of gentleness, wisdom and dedication.

Our vets often comment on how beautiful and healthy our dogs are and spend extra time stroking and admiring our puppies.

The fresh goats milk also makes our puppies coats so shiny and healthy looking that our puppies could be in Pantene Pro-V commercials.

Being raised with cats, horses, and goats makes our puppies more social than many other dogs. One of the most adorable things that I have ever seen was a cockapoo puppy jumping up to lick the face of a baby goat.

Before the puppies leave, I bring them to my house to further socialize and begin potty training. There is a flow of neighborhood children who come to play with our fur babies. In addition, my own teenage children and their friends all love to cuddle with our little cuties. My house has literally "GONE TO THE DOGS," and I love it.

Last but not least, there is Bella and Max, our golden retrievers who play with the puppies. Oftentimes, I see puggles or pekapoos curled up and sleep on top of Max's bushy tail.

Before we kiss our puppies good-bye, they are thoroughly examined by at least one and sometimes two of our Cornell-trained veterinarians. And, they come with documentation of health and all of the paperwork from The State of New York.

A WORD OF WARNING:

Every year many puppies contract sickness and many dogs die needlessly because breeders in their ignorance try to save money and administer shots by themselves. If they administer top quality shots that is fine. Unfortunately, the market is saturated with cheaper versions of shots that are made in China. These shots are not effective and leave the dogs vulnerable and at great risk.

Hundreds of thousands of puppies and dogs suffer and die needlessly each year from parvo and other diseases because they are not immunized properly. All this suffering could be prevented and is very costly to their owners both emotionally and financially.

WE HAVE OUR PUPPIES IMMUNIZED WITH THE HIGHEST OUALITY SHOTS ON THE MARKET AND MOST OF THE SHOTS ARE ADMINISTERED BY OUR CORNELL TRAINED VETS.

Does this cost more money? Of course. But, our puppies are worth it and so are the families that are buying them. So, rest assured that we do not cut costs when it comes to our precious puppies and they and their parents are immunized with the best quality shots on the market and fed excellent food.

Our puppies far outshine pet shop puppies in appearance and in general health because they are raised on farms, play outdoors, get plenty of fresh air and are supplemented with fresh goats milk and organic food. Our adult dogs are supplemented with organic meat, and free range eggs. We also give them fish oil capsules and Pacific salmon. Atlantic salmon has PCB contamination. All of this care is expensive, but we have healthy dogs with shiny coats and healthy social puppies and that makes us very happy.

I truly love this work. I am by nature a people person and am also an animal lover. I derive a great sense of satisfaction from helping our puppies find wonderful homes and helping families find the perfect puppy that will match their life styles.

Our puppies are a source of joy, healing and companions to many wonderful people.

I do screen potential customers to ensure that our puppies are going to very loving, responsible homes.

I am always here for you and am happy to answer any questions that you may have. Your calls and e-mails are always welcome.

I love hearing from the families who purchase our puppies. So, please do send me e-mails, photos, updates and Christmas cards. We are also now on facebook so you can post photos of your dogs on our walls. I hope to hear from you for many years to come

Many nights I sit at my computer and cry with tears of joy when I read e-mails and receive photos and hear about the love and joy that our puppies are bringing into the lives of people. That gives me a great sense of satisfaction. So, please do keep in touch.

If you cannot come to pick up your puppy, I will do my best to arrange to have your puppy LOVINGLY DELIVERED to you. They are cuddled and shown love all the way to their new homes.
