Our Story

When someone tells you that a dog is a man’s best friend, believe them.  It took me many years to believe that a dog could be a great companion.  In a time in my life that I became an empty nester and single, I decided to get a puppy!  That puppy provided me with unconditional love and filled a void within me.   My love for dogs has grown exponentially.  Fast forward ten years, I decided that I wanted to be able to share my wonderful dogs with other people in hopes that others will find that same unconditional love that dogs will give you.  However, I really did not know if I was capable of allowing Journey, my cavalier, to have puppies or that I had the heart to allow the puppies to leave my home.  Confidence in my ability was lacking, until my future husband, Gary, reassured me that I can do anything and do it well!  Gary gave me the confidence to move forward with my desire to breed.  I am a teacher and have a masters degree, but didn’t feel like I was well versed enough about dogs to become a dog breeder.  I love and worry about my dogs, so I wanted to make sure that I kept them healthy and happy.  It was also important that the people who decide to purchase one of my puppies get a very high quality puppy.  The teacher in me began researching and educating myself to be the best dog breeder I can be.  After many hours of research and encouragement from Gary, my first litter of puppies were born!  Momma Journey had her puppies IN MY LAP!  I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!  Watching the puppies being born, grow and go to their new homes brought me so much joy!
