Rooted at Wildwood Acres
Life here has always been tied to the land. Long before there were puppies, I spent my days farming and tapping maple trees each spring turning sap into syrup the slow, old-fashioned way. It’s hard work, but good work—the kind that keeps you grounded.
About six years ago, we added another layer to our life here: our breeding program. I’d always had a soft spot for Pomeranians and poodle mixes—breeds full of character, intelligence, and warmth. Raising puppies here on our land felt natural, and doing it alongside my wife and kids made it meaningful.
One of our children has special needs, and that played a big part in shaping the way we live and work. Staying home, working with our dogs, and building something as a family—those choices were intentional. They’ve allowed us to be present, flexible, and focused on what matters most.
Today, Wildwood Acres is both a breeding program and a syrup operation, and somehow the two complement each other perfectly. There’s a rhythm to both—seasons of patience, care, and hands-on work. We raise our Pomeranians and poodle mixes with the same values we put into every bottle of maple syrup: quality, honesty, and love.
Our whole family helps with the dogs—from daily care to socializing the puppies. Each pup is handled with care and raised with attention to detail, right here at home where they hear laughter, footsteps, and the sounds of everyday life.
This isn’t just a business for us. It’s our life, our home, and our way of giving other families the joy and companionship that these dogs have brought to us.

Proper Equipment
In our puppy breeding process, we employ advanced equipment and techniques, including Artificial Insemination, which required extensive training to ensure proper and successful reproduction. Utilizing this method, we are able to breed many of our females to achieve the desired size outcomes for our puppies.

Advanced Technology
Through the software provided by Nurture Kennect, we are able to track our entire breeding program from pre-birth all the way to the final consumer. Nurture Kennect allows our family to monitor our puppies and data surrounding our breeding parents from the minute the Mother is bred all the way through to the end consumer. As data is entered from the vet checks hereditary and congenital items as well as basic health information is all compiled from consumers back to the Nurture Kennect software giving us the ability to track any possible health issues or concerns and correct the issue immediately. This communication allows us to know of any possible hereditary or congentital issues that may come up later in life. If patterns are detected by the software with certain parents, those parents can immediately discontinue breeding. Nurture Kennect also tracks and provides feedback on any issues that arise from everyday vet checks which helps ensure your puppy arrives safe and sound. No breeder is perfect, but with Nurture Kennect tracking and providing feedback it allows us to be as organized and effective as possible.
