About us

Building Prairie Ridge Kennel has been a journey! Breeding AKC Pomeranians and English Labrador Retrievers in a way that brings healthy and loving puppies to your family is a dream of ours!

It all started when…
My parents bought me a cute little black bear of a furball for my 17th birthday and I fell in love with the Pomeranian breed. Hammy was my shadow and was spoiled rotten. One tragic day he was exploring in the hay meadow and the farmer came to mow it down. Hammy never made it out alive. He had just turned 1. I was heartbroken over the loss of my buddy and missed him terribly. My next puppy was an itty bitty little thing that I believe left her mother too soon but she was tough and learned to navigate the house despite her tiny size. I was engaged to be married and knew that Pixie would be coming with me! 8 years later, she is still with us today, ruling from her spot on the back of the couch. Hammy and Pixie were family pets and not bred but they showed me what life could be like with one of these cat-like, big-spirited, little dogs. We decided to start breeding and Sailor and Finley joined the family. Little puppies are such a joy and those first babies were so hard to let go but we enjoyed sharing those puppy kisses with others and decided to get another female. Oaklee was our first merle and the start of expansion and dreams. 

We have since added to our crew of Poms and have also brought in our other breeds, Labrador Retriever and Mini Dachshund. We have found a love and uniqueness with each one! Prairie Ridge Kennel was built the Fall/Winter of 2015 and has been a huge blessing to us and making our jobs easier so that we can devote more time to caring for our puppies and our family. In the summer of 2020 we decided to narrow down our focus and rehomed our Dachshund breeding stock. My dad took a few and we found loving homes for the rest. So now we are only breeding Labs and Poms!

Roger and I were married in July of 2011 and, soon after, God blessed us with a baby on the way. Quinn came in 2012 and brought lots of joy and sunshine with her. Kadyn joined us in 2014, Cassidy in 2016, and sweet little Kyrie arrived just before Thanksgiving in 2017. Fall of 2020 we were blessed with a son! Colter is much loved and cherished by all as is his wee little brother, Quill, who joined our family in 2022! We thank God often for the gifts that He has lent us and pray that we will cherish each and every moment that He gives us with them while we strive to raise them for His Glory. We are not perfect, far from it, but by His Grace and Blood we have been saved and our deepest prayer is that all the glory would go to Him, our Father and Redeemer.
