WHO WE ARE
Our History
Meet Our Family
We’ve been passionately raising puppies since 2016—the same year we got married and began building a life full of love, laughter, and a whole lot of wagging tails. Now, with three amazing kids (ages 7, 3, and 1), our home is truly a joyful, busy, and puppy-filled place. Raising dogs has become a full-blown family affair, with our children playing and interacting with the puppies daily. It’s important to us that each pup is well-socialized, loved, and ready to join a forever family.
Our love for dogs runs so deep, we couldn’t pick just one breed—so we decided not to! We raise Cavaliers, Goldendoodles, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Cavapoos, and Poodles.
Each puppy that leaves our home is a part of our story, and we’re honored to be part of yours.
Our Ethical Promise
As a proud member of the Responsible Dog Breeder Network, we are committed to raising our puppies with care, purpose, and integrity. Every puppy from our program is:
- Health-checked
- From parents who are genetically tested
- Raised in clean, safe, enriching environments
- Socialized daily for confidence and connection
- Sent home with lifelong breeder support
We don’t just breed dogs—we raise family companions. Our commitment doesn’t end at adoption. We’re here for you every step of the way.

Playful Puppies was amazing!
Jesse was both communicative and accommodating from the very beginning.
When we showed interest in Ivy (our pup), he sent us videos and photos leading up to our adopting her.
When we visited her, we were able to interact with Ivy's parents and her siblings. They were obviously well cared for and had both an outdoor and indoor environment to learn and grow in.
His facility was top notch with both where they were held, the space they were given and the care they received.
Even after we brought her home, Jesse followed up with his a couple of times to check in on Ivy.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND Jesse and Playful Pups. Great person, great place, great pups!!!

We got the most adorable Basset Hound from Jesse at Playful Puppies and couldn't be happier. Their facility is by far the cleanest I have ever seen. Highly recommend this breeder to anyone looking for a family pet!
I cannot say enough good about Jesse and Playful Puppies! Jesse and his team made us feel so calm and comfortable throughout the entire experience. We are so in love with our pup! Fully recommend this service for well cared for, loved, beautiful, puppies. We couldn’t be happier with the new addition to our family!🐶❤️ Thank you, Jesse! 😊🐾
