About Us
Breeder and Caregivers
We are a small, home-based kennel located in Spring Hill, Florida. We are overseen by owner, Mark Baines, who has been a dog lover all his life and started to dabble in breeding in 2001. He is also the owner of a home-based dog grooming business called It’s a Dog’s Life. Dogs are kinda a big deal around here! Raising dogs is a time-consuming task and having a litter of pups that need some extra attention and love while running a grooming shop is a bit much for just one man to do, so he has help from his trusted friends and roommates who help care for the dogs and pups.
Puppy Care
Someone is home at all times and all the dogs, whether adults or pups, get loving attention throughout the day. Our adults are pets and members of our family. When a new litter is born, the mother and pups are separated from the rest of the dogs. The pups stay inside a fenced-in area with their mother until the vet gives them a clean bill of health and they start their worming treatments. Then they are allowed outside with supervision to play and start their housebreaking lessons. The pups are allowed to interact with adult dogs of all ages and are raised around indoor cats.
A Furever Friend
Our goal is to one day have a farm with many acres for our dogs to roam. We do not take on more than we can handle and we want to make sure that our dogs and pups will always have a safe environment to live and grow as well as enough people around to care for them and give them attention. That being said, we are currently only breeding 1 female standard poodle.
