Welcome! My name is Kristi, and my husband Ian and I run this small, heart-driven homestead here in Charlotte, North Carolina. Ian is a retired disabled veteran, and together we’ve created a place where our love for animals, family, and simple living all come together. What started as caring for the land and raising animals slowly grew into a passion for raising exceptional dogs with the same level of care and intention we put into everything else on our homestead.

​

We focus on Poodles and Aussiedoodles because these breeds have truly won us over. Poodles are incredibly smart, loyal, and wonderful companions for so many families. Aussiedoodles bring together the best qualities of both breeds, giving you a playful, clever, and loving dog who easily becomes part of the family. Their personalities and versatility fit perfectly with the kind of dogs we want to raise.

​

Our breeding program is small by choice. Every dog in our program is carefully selected, fully health tested, and chosen for sound structure and temperament. We take the time to plan each pairing so that our puppies grow into strong, healthy, well-balanced companions.

​

When puppies are born, they are raised right inside our home. They are part of our everyday life, hearing the normal sounds of a household, being handled often, and learning to feel safe and confident in the world around them. We don’t use kennels or separate buildings. Our puppies grow up under our feet, in our arms, and surrounded by love. ​As they grow, we introduce crate basics, normal household noises, gentle handling, and enrichment that helps prepare them for an easy transition into their new homes. Our goal is not simply to place puppies but to raise dogs who are emotionally grounded and ready to thrive with their families.

​

We believe deeply in honesty, transparency, and communication. We want every family to feel comfortable, informed, and supported from the very beginning. Choosing a breeder is a big decision, and we take that responsibility seriously. When you choose us, you aren’t just getting a puppy. You’re becoming part of a community that values quality, care, and doing things the right way.

​

For Ian and I, this is more than a business. It’s a part of our life, our values, and the way we want to show up in the world. Raising Poodles and Aussiedoodles ties into everything we love—animals, family, health, and creating something meaningful that will last for years.

​

If you’re looking for a thoughtful breeding program where every puppy is raised like family, you’ve found the right place. We’re grateful you’re here.
