Please note the following before you head our way...

Call or text us to confirm your arrival time (maybe within 2 hours of your arrival) 712-370-0851.

Enter through the garage. We do not use our front door very often.

Wear clothes appropriate for visiting a farm. Our driveway is not paved, and wet gravel is messy. High-heeled shoes are not recommended. ;-)

Please remember that we do not accept checks for final payment at the time of puppy pick up. Cash or pre-approved credit/debit card are the typical methods people use.

We are not allowed to let visitors enter our dog's fenced-in areas/homes for liability reasons.

If you are coming from the South

• Follow map instructions to reach Maryville, Missouri.
• From Maryville, go north on Highway 148 toward Bedford, Iowa. You will GET OFF OF HWY 71 as you go around the curve at the northeastern edge of Maryville. If you curve around the north side of Maryville and head west, you have probably missed this turn! Many people miss this turn off of 71 and onto 148. Do not go west of Maryville...if you do, you will end up in Clarinda instead of Bedford.
• When you reach the Iowa state line, go ahead and go on north into Iowa about 3.75 miles. 
• Turn right (east) on 300th St, a gravel road.  
• Go east on that road. Right after you see a small cemetery on the north/left, you will see our ranch-style house on the south/right.
• Just east/past the house is Lexington Ct. Turn south/right and go to the first drive. Turn right/west on that drive and pass the barns to the house.
• If you come to a stop sign at an intersection of another paved road and don't see Lexington Ct, you've gone about 1/4th+ mile too far.
• Please enter through the garage.

If you are coming from the North, East, or West

• Follow map instructions to reach Bedford, Iowa.
• From Bedford, go south on Highway 148 about 3 miles, to 300th Street.  
• Turn left (east) on 300th Street, which is a gravel road.  
• Go east on that gravel road. Right after you see a small cemetery on the north/left, you will see our ranch-style house on the south/right.
• Just east/past the house is Lexington Ct. Turn south/right and go to the first drive. Turn right/west on that drive and pass the barns to the house.
• If you come to a stop sign at an intersection of another paved road and don't see Lexington Ct, you've gone about 1/4th mile too far.
• Please enter through the garage.
• ALTERNATIVE ROUTE with less gravel road distance:
  You can come south of Bedford on Linwood Avenue to 300th Street.
  If you use this route, turn West/right from Linwood Ave onto 300th Street. 
  Go about 1/2 mile to Lexington Ct.
  Turn left onto Lexington Ct and go 100 yards or so, then turn right at the mailbox and follow the driveway to the house.

DO NOT DRIVE ON KENTUCKY AVENUE...it's a mud/dirt road.
