About Marci
My husband and I have raised our 5 children with countless dogs, cats, birds, squirrels, and the occasional lizard. We love animals. I'm a school teacher and know how important love and consistency are to raising great humans and animals. My husband is a consultant and works out of the home, and he delights in playing with puppies!
What makes Marci’s program special
We have a fantastic line of dogs that have become hunting and field trial champions...but basically, we think that dogs are our best companions. Our dogs LOVE to retrieve, swim, run, chill, and most of all, please their owners. Our puppies live in Montana, Colorado, Texas, North Carolina, and many points in between. We must be doing something right...most of our buyers stay in touch and buy a second pup!

By the time that our buyers pick up their pup, the pup has been socialized extensively by us, the children in our neighborhood, the pup's mom and siblings, and our cats. They are well on their way to being trained to go potty outdoors. They are played with constantly and have chew toys and retrieving balls. For the most part, they learn the "no bite" command, and come to clapping and an excited voice. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Outdoors (when Weather permits), Toys, e.g. Ball, Socialized with Adult Dogs, Socialized with Cats, and Socialized with Children.
Our puppies’ health and wellbeing is our top priority, and they get the best care we can provide.
We send our puppies home with Vaccinations, Toy with Littermates' Scent, Puppy Collar, Food Starter Bag, and AKC Registration.
Marci offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
Work with a trusted flight nanny to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at an airport or meeting point close to home.
Why Marci started breeding
Our friends kept asking us, "Where can I find a dog as wonderful as yours?" Our dogs are great, and we wanted others to have the same, so we started breeding. We know that great dogs are a combination of genetics and upbringing, so we are picky when choosing a new dog, and we train with love and consistency. We have been breeding for 20 years but have kept things small to control the quality.
