Bringing Zoe into our lives has been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made—and it all started with Amy.

Amy isn’t just a breeder. She’s a deeply committed, heart-first dog lover who treats every pup like family—not inventory. From the moment we stepped into her home, we could tell: this wasn’t a business, it was a labor of love.

Her setup is immaculate - clean, safe, and designed with the dogs’ well-being in mind. Premium nutrition, early socialization, constant care… no detail is overlooked. You can feel the trust and affection between her and every dog in her care (they are attached to her and respond to her voice in a way that touched me!)

We’re incredibly grateful to Amy for giving Zoe the best possible start. Thank you for the love, intention, and integrity you pour into what you do.

We just got our cockapoo puppy from Amy. Amy was incredible with client (and puppy) education. Truly helped us to prepare, especially since we’re first time dog owners. You can tell she cares immensely for all of her animals. Her puppies come dog-socialized and with an understanding of going to the bathroom outside. He’s been absolutely great with the crate. We love him and couldn’t be happier with all Amy’s done 🙂

We had a great experience adopting a schnoodle puppy with Amy. The overall process from being placed on the wait list, to receiving a detailed information package for preparations, and pick up day was all seamless. We talked at length about the importance of being the voice for our pets which meant to us how much she truly cared for the well being of her puppies in their new forever homes. Amy never hesitated to help clarify any questions we had before and after adopting and was always prompt with her responses. Not only is Amy a great advocate for her puppies but her dedication and hard work definitely shine through her puppies as well. Since our puppy came potty trained, is super intelligent and quickly adjusted to crate training. We are very happy with the decision to adopt from A & R Country Kennel - they truly make the best poodle crosses!

Where to start when it comes to talking about A&R Country Kennel and Amy. I have had nothing but an incredible experience in my journey in getting my baby boy cockapoo "Moose"
After reading many reviews I realized for myself that the reviews did not do justice. She is beyond an amazing breeder with helping you pick out your forever best friend.
Amy was very patient and responsive for answering any questions and or concerns that I had on this journey.
We have had Moose now 3 days and what do i say besides that he's amazing. He came basically potty trained and the only accidents that we had were due to human failure LOL. Third night in and he's already slept through the night. Our little guy was raised with so much love and care as you can see the transition was pretty much flawless. I could not thank you enough Amy for allowing and trusting in us to be able to purchase one of your puppies. I will continue to always keep in touch. I would definitely recommend A&R Country Kennel if you are looking for your curly haired best friend 🙂

We first dealt with Amy 8 years ago when we got our cockapoo Charlie. A few weeks ago, we got another cockapoo, Murphy. We found the experience very good. When picking up the puppies, Amy was very thorough in going over what shots they had been give along with what they needed going forward. She also gave great advice on crate training and introducing our new puppy to his 8 year old brother. Nothing was rushed when we picked up and we had plenty of time to ask questions. An excellent experience!

Amy is amazing. She definitely wants to ensure her puppies are going to loving homes. You can tell from the moment you meet her and see her with her conglomerate of dogs that she truly loves and cares for each one of them. She is business like and matter of fact but she is also kind and understanding. I know I called her constantly asking when a she-poo would be available and she was always polite on the phone, advising me of the status at that current time and probable dates that litters would be available. Her facilities are spotless. We couldn’t even enter the kennel until she sprayed our shoes with disinfectant! The puppies are in areas with their mothers. We saw both parents of our puppy and both were in excellent condition. When we returned the second time to bring Charlie home, Amy gave us valuable information on his care which allowed us to train him and have him totally housebroken before he was 5 months old. Two years later, our precious Charlie is the best gift ever. He’s healthy, happy and loves both people and other dogs. He adores children! He has the most amazing disposition and his love for us, as ours for him, is unconditional. There is nothing better than coming home to see his little face at the door and tail wagging like crazy waiting for that door to open so he can cover our faces in kisses. Nothing beats that!!
We could not have asked for a better
breeder or a more beautiful or loving addition to our family to enrich our lives beyond measure! 🐶🐾🦴

Words cannot describe how amazing Amy and her puppies are. I received my first dog (cockapoo) July 31 and cannot imagine my life without the little guy. The pick up process was fairly easy. She had us all come at one time and took us through some important things to help ease the transition of our puppy to their new homes.

Moji is so well tempered and smart. We trained him quickly and while he had a few accidents in the house, overall he was extremely well behaved. He slept the full night on his third day with us. He is great with people, other dogs, and training. My groomer has nothing but good things to say him. He is extremely smart and is a pleasure to train. Last of all - he is the most amazing cuddle buddy and has so much love to dish out.

If we decide to get another dog, we will definitely be returning.

Amazing experience adopting our ShihPoo puppy. Amy was fantastic to deal with from the moment we were added to a wait list. She is knowledgable, pleasant, truly loves what she does and does it well. The kennel is clean, modern, well maintained.
