Welcome to Pleasant Acre Farms
Why Pleasant Acre Farms? Â
Our story is unique. Lowell began the program in 2016 with his partner David, and it grew to the current operation size over the last 8 years. There has always been a large space in both David and Lowell’s heart for Animals, and in the first four years, that turned in to a program called Pleasant Acre Farms.
They have been dedicated to raising Goldendoodle and Bernedoodle puppies that are well socialized, healthy and ready to bring joy and companionship to your home.
Meanwhile, in 2020, Lowell met Melissa, and a new chapter was formed. They got married in 2021, and began a journey towards working together for Africa (specifically Kenya and Uganda), where Melissa had been for the last 10 plus years leading up to 2020.
The work that Melissa had been doing involved helping people in need, specifically farmers and people with limited resources.  She spent many years teaching them how to use what they have, to live sustainably, and live in abundance. Â
This has slowly become the mission for the (whole) Schrock family and they have begun to plan a full time engagement with the Reckoning International (the Parent NGO company that Melissa works for) for the indefinite future. This will require raising the funds needed to do the work, as all pay is raised by the individuals working for The Reckoning.
The dogs (or Pleasant Acre Farms) continue to be a part of this Journey as they provide the much needed income for the Schrock family to work for The Reckoning International.  They are making it possible for them to travel back and forth, training the staff on the ground in Africa and growing the program here in America as well.
 The dogs are a blessing to the path forward, and we want you to know that you are not only buying a companion for life, but when you trust us to provide you a healthy new puppy, you are also contributing to the work in Africa, and blessing our friends and extended family there!
Below, you can see the team that Melissa helped form over the years, as they celebrate Asher’s 1st birthday in Kenya in the summer of 2024.

Thank you for considering us to be your provider for a furry lifelong companion!
PS. Asher loves Africa, and he loves any animal too!

Your puppy’s health and well-being are our top priority.
As we raise the puppy that will become your new companion for life, We have a few layers of attention to detail that we provide.
We provide early Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) exercises, from 3 days old until they are 16 days old. We then continue with sound stimulation training and new surface introductions as they begin to explore all their senses. Around 2 weeks old, they are opening their eyes and beginning to wobble and walk at this stage as well.
We start introducing open crates as early as 5 weeks of age and begin giving naps in crates. All puppies are given a thorough health inspection that covers nose to tail in Week 6 and we are fully transparent about any conditions that are discovered upon completion of the health check.
From week 6 until week 8, we pay extra attention to them and give you an assessment on their temperaments to allow you to best choose your companion that suits your lifestyle.
We love to keep folks updated on our puppies progress through social media and if you are on our waitlist, we will send you special videos and pictures of the litter as they are growing.
We offer facetime after the puppies are 6 weeks old and we also will give you feedback on the concerns and questions you may have regarding the best fit for you and your setting.
Typically our puppies are ready for their new homes at eight weeks old and we welcome you to pick up your puppy or we can have your puppy delivered to you.
If your puppy will have a social media or if you post lots of pics on platforms that we can follow along, we will! The satisfaction of a happy and healthy puppy living its best life in its new homes is well worth the time spent to help you find your perfect companion!
Your referral of us to your friends is the testament of our commitment to excellence in our program and reward to us as a breeder when we receive their phone call or puppy application!
