LAWPDOODLE KENNEL

My name is Tina Law. We are a Christian Family who returned to my husband's (Rich), family farm in 1998 from Carroll County, Maryland where we lived after we were married in 1989. We have two children, Matthew 19, and Lisa 16. Rich and his Dad, and with help of family, operate 240 acres of farmland and between 40 and 50 Angus Cows, 2 Bulls and calves. I owned two horses when I met Rich, and despite being raised 20 minutes outside of Washington, D.C., always wanted the Country Life. My horses were the closest thing I had even though I had to board them away from my home. On February 14, 2008, I lost my very first horse, Tango, at the age of 31. I owned him for 24 years. We love our animals. I had various exotic pets when I was younger, but both my husband and I share a mutual love for dogs. This love led us into the addition to our farm business, Lawpdoodle Kennel, a reputable, licensed kennel in West Virginia. We started with the idea of Doodles (Goldendoodles and Labradoodles). However, through our first doggy purchase, we surprisingly fell in love with the Standard Poodle. We will continue to breed AKC Purebred quality Standard Poodles as part of our breeding program for the love of the breed.

We are currently working our colors to include Brown & White Parti's, Red's, Chocolates, Blacks and Apricots. We will be working toward multi-gen chocolate and white and other beautiful coat colors as Parti Labradoodles as well in our breeding program.

We welcome you to come and visit us to see our Farm and Kennel (Doggy Manor!). Our Kennel has been completed with 8 units and 4 puppy boxes including, runs, heat, electric and water and a bath and grooming area! Also featuring separate large yard areas for dogs to have run in all day long. Ongoing improvements and changes always! Check our page "Doggy Manor" for pictures and updates. We look forward to hearing from you and maybe the opportunity to meet you! May God Bless You and Your Family, In Christ.

Meet Our Family

Our Son, Matthew is now a Junior in College at West Virginia University, and is a graduate of the United States Army Reserves Basic and AIT Training, Summer 2010. (Center is a picture of our entire family together at his graduation at Ft. Leanard Wood, MO on August 20, 2010!) Pictured in that photo from left to right, our daughter, Lisa; me, Tina; my sister Jen (lives in Kansas with her family); our son, of course, Matthew; Jen's husband and my BIL, Kelly (Retired Army of 10 + years); their daughter, Cami in front; my husband and full partner in our breeding business, Rich; and our Brazilian daughter, Veronica (Exchange Student, School year 2010-2011). Matthew has returned to continue his College Education at WVU while serving in the Army Reserves. Yep....I'm a pretty proud Mommy! God Bless our Military, God Bless America!

This is our home. To the left you will see my former Quilt Studio, now our Puppy Nursery. It is like a small home, with a bathroom, gas fireplace, carpeting, ceramic tile and lots of windows. It also works very well for "puppy pick-up" for our new puppy families. Not in view to the right behind our house is our Doggy Manor. Check the link to our Doggy home above for more pictures. We welcome anyone wishing to tour our "Home" for our Four-legged family members. We've had some neighbors joke that if they have a spat with their spouse, could they temporarily take up residence in our Doggy House? Yep....our doggies have it pretty good! More pictures of our home below, taken Summer 2010.

This is the sheer genius in our Congress....

In a bid to stem taxpayer losses for bad loans guaranteed by federal housing agencies Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac, Senator Bob Corker (R-Tenn) proposed that borrowers be required to make a 5% down payment in order to qualify. His proposal was rejected 57-42 on a party-line vote because,as Senator Chris Dodd (D-Conn) explained,

"passage of such a requirement would restrict home

ownership to only those who can afford it."

If you are offended by our placement of the above example of our current government...you may not wish to work with us any further in finding your perfect puppy. We will never sacrifice our moral beliefs in exchange to secure a business transaction. This is a prime example of our government, your government at work today. If you go to sleep tonight and don't care...American the Beautful, Land of the "Free"....may be gone forever when you wake up.
