Hello!  Welcome to While-Away Kennel and my website! I have been breeding for over twelve years.  My hybrids include the Cockapoo, Labradoodles , Shih/Poos and occasionally Siamese kittens!   My career background includes; professional grooming, Education Coordinator of a Humane Society, working at veterinary clinics, boarding, obedience training my own dogs, Pet Therapy visits and I also tune pianos.  For my enjoyment, I play the violin with a couple of ensembles and spend time with my dogs , cats, and horses .  We have the pleasure of having a quaint,  Iowa farm which includes our own creek that runs alongside the property for the dogs to enjoy! I breed exclusively for family pets.  I only breed first generation hybrids (F1).  My puppies leave when they are eight-nine weeks old with their necessary puppy vaccinations, worming, complete vet check, dewclaws removed, tails docked ( except for Shih/Poos) and guaranteed for one year. Oftentimes, because of my many "contacts" in the "pet" world, I will be contacted by people or informed of puppies that are available and need homes.  I will also post them on my site if they meet my criteria.    I know you will love my "babies" as much as I do!  I hope you enjoy your visit to my site.  Please feel free to e-mail.  I always love to brag ( I mean "chat") about my babies! Please visit my other website at :  http://pets4you.com/pages/whileaway.html    I am  happy to introduce in 2008,  Aunt Jessi's House.  "A special Home for Special People and Friends."    Aunt Jessi's House is a Host Home for 1-2 adults with developmental disabilities.  Together we enjoy all that  northeast Iowa's rural community offers.  We share our love for animals and country living.  With  specialized training from Mosaic of Iowa (www.mosaicinfo.org), Aunt Jessi's House provides safe, supervised living for it's residents.  Please feel free to contact me if you would like more information or brochure.   Thank you for visiting!    Warm Regards, Jessica L.
