We initially began breeding dogs in 2012 with our Silver Lab, Maya as a hobby and out of a love for nurturing and raising healthy puppies for loving families.  We get great satisfaction from providing families with the joy and love that a C Bar S puppy provides.  Prior to running our breeding business, Stacey was HR Director for an oil company and Curtis was CFO for a food company. Once Stacey retired and Curtis went into semi-retirement, we began extensive research on the Australian Labradoodle and the benefits of this breed as service and therapy dogs as well as the much sought after hypo-allergenic and low-to-no-shedding traits.  We were hooked and began our journey as Australian Labradoodle breeders in 2018. Then in 2023, we purchased a female Bernese Mountain dog, Dixie, and in late 2024 bred her to a Moyen Poodle and produced our first Bernedoodle litter.  We kept a female, Halle, from that litter and are looking forward to Halle's first litter in mid-2026.

​

At C Bar S, we practice and follow the prenatal and post whelping puppy practices of Puppy Culture.  This program includes Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) which, according to Revival Animal Health, research shows to benefit puppies by 1) improving cardiovascular performance; 2) developing stronger heartbeats; 3) developing stronger adrenal glands; 4) providing greater tolerance to stress; and 5) providing a greater resistance to disease. 

 

We do everything we can to give our pups the best possible start in life and to prepare them for success with their new families.  Our commitment to breeding the highest quality Australian Labradoodles and Bernedoodles through health testing, continuous health care and the assurance of loving homes for our breeding boys and girls ensures our families that they are getting the highest quality puppy available. 

 

We are NOT a kennel or back yard breeder.  All our breeding dogs live in loving guardian homes that are selectively chosen as caregivers to our magnificent breeding moms and dads.  These families partner with us as ambassadors for C Bar S and allow our precious pups to be loved and cared for as a vital part of their families.

All of our puppies are well socialized on the ranch and have lots of room to romp and learn in our state-of-the-art puppy facility that we built in 2018.  All C Bar S puppies are whelped in our home.  They receive daily attention under our watchful care in the house until they reach 4-weeks of age at which point the pups are transitioned to the puppy room and facility just outside our back door.  The pups spend their last four weeks in this puppy facility learning to potty train and use the doggie-door that takes them out to a 4' x 8' run that leads to the 700 square foot play area.  The play area is filled with all kinds of obstacles, toys and climbing structures to help the pups build confidence as they learn and grow in a healthy environment. It is a true labor of love for us to raise healthy, confident, well-adjusted puppies for our families.

C Bar S Ranch is centrally located in North Texas and is an easy drive from Dallas, Ft. Worth, Austin, San Antonio, Houston and southern Oklahoma.  Our 21 acres of ranch and farmland is the perfect environment to raise beautiful puppies.
