About Us

We have a small family run sheep ranch in Oregon raising breeds rare to the U.S. We mostly artificially inseminate from the best rams we can find from New Zealand, Britain or wherever our search leads us.  When we chose to include Labradoodles we went in with the same passion, dedication, seriousness and love as we have for our sheep flock.

Though we have always enjoyed raising sheep, we have most farm animals.  We enjoy the clever minds and bonding ability of goats.  Our llamas provide unbelievable protection for our sheep. While on a short vacation, my husband and I were thinking about our animals.  As much as we enjoy the farm animals we realized that who we worried about, laughed about and loved most were our two Great Pyrnees.  We realized there is no animal like a dog.

We are so glad we opened our home to include our Labradoodles.

Our farm animals are raised naturally and are grass-fed.  We raise much of the food our dogs eat from our ranch.  They enjoy the freedom to runl.

Thank you for considering adding a Labradoodle as a family member.

Update Februrary 2010:

Our dream is just about to be realized! We have been working really hard for the past several years now to open a Bed and Breakfast. We purchased an awesome cedar lodge that had not quite been finished and we have been striving to add the just the right touches to make it the most wonderful place to stay on the Columbia River Gorge.

We set our goals to open in Spring of 2010. We had been juggling between our ranch and the Bed and Breakfast, when our niece Sara and her husband Jason, announced that they were moving back to Oregon. They wanted to be closer to family.

Sara and Jason now live at the ranch. Sara has worked for several years as a Veterinarian Technician. She has such knowledge and skill that is greatly useful and appreciated. We are able to provide personal, hands on, in-house touches to all our dogs with the four housing set ups between both properties.

All of this had added so much more to the raising of our puppies. We feel that we have the best of both worlds. We have had the opportunity and pleasure of meeting several of our new families. They have either flown or driven in to pick up their new puppy or addition to their family by staying at our Bed and Breakfast and having that little extra bonding time.
