Where We Began

Storm Green - Owner

Dogs have always been close to my heart, and a way of life. I grew up in a household where raising puppies was second nature, and competition dog training was a weekly occurrence for us. To me dogs are family.

When I started working on Laurie’s farm, naturally I gravitated to her kennel and her dogs. After a few years, I assumed a managing role in her kennel and with her dogs, furthering my experience in raising and working with dogs. My mother co-founded Laurie’s kennel business with her own dogs living, on the farm with Laurie’s, so a few years after my mom retired from dog breeding, I started working there and was able to work same bloodlines she raised.

When it was time for Laurie to retire from dog breeding, I was presented with the incredible opportunity to take over the reins, continuing to raise exceptional puppies under my own business. I take this very seriously because I know all to well how important a dog is to a family; and at the end of the day, they are part of the family. I am proud to continue to use the over a decade of experience in dogs that my Mom and Laurie posses to raise a new generation of dogs with unmatched quality.

This is not a guessing game on how to raise dogs to me. I’m not doing anything new or fancy, and putting it simply I’m just doing what has already worked for over decided, and continuing to do it well. I am also very lucky that both my Mom and Laurie still play an extremely active roles in helping how I run things. Each of our puppies is backed by decades of experience, continuing education, and the knowledge we share to work together.

In July of 2021 I was presented with a unique opportunity to purchase a property just a few miles north of my current location. Early that September I closed on the purchase of that property with the intent to move myself, and my business to this exciting new location. A lot of work and preparation has gone into building out this new kennel facility to make sure I maintain the same high standard of care for my dogs. As of Late October 2022 North Iowa Puppies LLC is now located at this new acreage.

Laurie Brue- Founder

I was born not far from my present farm on a crop/beef farm and have always been was working with animals. I have shown hunter/jumper horses and presently am teaching the sport to all age groups.     My dogs and horses are an integral part of my life.      

Having them in my life has given me a passion to give every family that same opportunity  to have them be part of their lives. I believe every family is made whole with man's best friend. I have been breeding dogs for two decades and have the experience to bring great puppies into every home.

We breed with the highest standards to not only ensure that your puppy lives a healthy and full life, but to guarantee our dogs have happy full lives with purpose.
