Who is Kindred Spirit Ranch

Kindred Spirit Ranch was started 2019 after deciding deciding that I was ready to make dogs not only my passion but my next "baby".  After having 6 kids and getting to a place where I was ready to create something else, I choose to start Kindred Spirit Ranch.  I originally choose to breed Goldendoodles because I love raising and training puppies and knew that I could give them the best start.  I got a dog from my mother's breeding program in NC.  Pearl produce two amazing litters but I decided that my true heart wasn't in the breeding but the actual rearing and training of the puppies.  That is when I decided to switch Kindred Spirit Ranch into dog training only.
​I started dog training in 2001 when I met a dog trainer who was holding classes at a vet's office I was working with asked if anyone would be interested in learning more about training.  I was up for the task.  I learned so much as I had special needs dogs at the time.  I trained under this trainer for several years.  During this time span I worked with several rescues as well as a doggie daycare, and then at a raw dog food company.  I learned so much from my exposure to many different breeds.
​After my husband was commissioned in the Army and we moved from the area, I continued to work with friend and family pets.  My passion for animals has never diminished and being able to bring both animals and humans to a level of understanding has always been important to me.  
It is always an honor to help owners create amazing service dogs as well as some wonderful pets.  I love seeing all dogs and owners thrive. 

My goal for your family is to have a dog that is able to thrive and live happily as a family member whether as a service dog or family pet.   

Meet The Family 

Willow(dog) is our resident pup that likes to remind me who lives in the house and that all dogs do not like everyone, no matter how much you have socialized and taught them. She loves her circle with all her heart. Beckett(cat) on the other hand loves everyone and is as much a dog as my dogs. He loves making us smile. □

Zorro has been here for a while. He reminds all the dogs how they should behave around cats.

Zorro and Beckett love helping out on the farm.  They help to make sure that the dogs are well behaved by teaching them some cat behaviors.

Raja has proved to be an amazing girl. She is the perfect KSR mascot. She loves all of the dogs that come through our doors and helps to make them feel excited about playing and learning while they are here.

This is Yori. She joined our KSR family in June. Mckenzie attached to Yori very quickly and the 2 of them have been great team. Mckenzie even completed the Canine Good Citizen with her.

Kiera and Mayday are the latest puppies to join the KSR family. Kiera is Cory's pup and Mayday is my oldest son's service dog prospect. Both of these girls help remind me of patience that you have to have with different breeds. :)

Pipsqueak, Toast and Rosa are the Training Facility supervisors. They came with the new property when we bought it. They were hiding under the building that is now the Training Facility. They teach the dogs what it is like to have cats around.
