About Brittany
I am an major animal lover. My husband and I both grew up on farms and have been raised with animals both big and small. In 2018 we were able to move to an acreage with 12 acres for our dogs to run and play and pursue my passion for breeding quality boxers, and have added in poodles and doodles into my program.
What makes Brittany’s program special
I am passionate about providing well socialized and healthy puppies. The families that purchase from us become part of our puppy family, and I am always here if they have any questions. I always am willing to take a puppy or adult back if the owner can no longer care for the dog. I am a breeder with integrity and have our puppies best interests at heart.

Why Brittany started breeding
My mom raised Rottweilers since before I was born and then moved into other breeds including my first boxer Penny, from there I was hooked! You could always find me in their whelping box cuddling the babies and caring for the puppies.
