Raised with purpose and care
We're Ivan Fisher, a family-run breeder in Honey Brook, PA. Every puppy is raised with daily care and family involvement.
Our History
Welcome to our corner of the world! Here, a few things hold our hearts. First and foremost, our bustling family—six amazing children fill our lives with endless joy. The great outdoors beckons us, and while we all dabble in gardening, Barbie reigns as our green-thumbed maestro. Dreaming of a family adventure out West to behold the majestic Rockies fuels our wanderlust.
In our world, dogs hold a special place. We raise both boxers and mini-dashchunds, not merely as a business but as a family endeavor. Our mission? Crafting exceptional pups destined for homes where they’ll bask in the unconditional love and warmth that pups offer. In fact, our name came from Ivan first initial and Barbie first 3 letters – IBAR!
Our primary goals revolve around ensuring you receive a healthy puppy that thrives within your family and facilitating a seamless transition into your home. To support this, we use and recommend Nuvet Supplements for their well-being and implement the highly effective Good Dog One-der class training techniques. We highly recommend considering this class as it greatly contributes to nurturing a well-trained, lifelong companion.
We’re genuinely grateful you’ve stopped by to peek at these adorable pups. Got questions? Feel free to reach out via text, email, or call our team as you journey towards adopting your new furry companion. And if you’d like a closer look, we’d be thrilled to connect with you over FaceTime. Can’t wait to make that connection!
Warm regards,
Ivan and Barbie Fisher
Why we do this
As a proud member of the Responsible Dog Breeder Network, we are committed to raising our puppies with care, purpose, and integrity. Every puppy from our program is:
Health-checked
From parents who are genetically tested
Raised in clean, safe, enriching environments
Socialized daily for confidence and connection
Sent home with lifelong breeder support
We don’t just breed dogs—we raise family companions. Our commitment doesn’t end at adoption. We’re here for you every step of the way.
"There is nothing quite like the steady companionship of a good dog by your side."
We do the hard work — so they're ready
Every litter follows the same structured path before going home.
Whelped in a clean, climate-controlled whelping area and monitored closely.
Daily handling and developmentally appropriate exposure — sounds, surfaces, people — building a confident, calm adult.
Crate, potty, and leash training all begin before a puppy ever leaves us.
Well-adjusted, confident, and vet-cleared — ready to give unconditional love and steadfast comfort.
A small, home-centered program in Honey Brook, PA
Located near Honey Brook, PA, Ibar Canine Companions is family-run, where every puppy is raised inside the home — not in a kennel. Our property is where our dogs live, play, and grow alongside our family, giving them a strong foundation of comfort and real-life experiences from day one.
We proudly welcome families near and far. Because our program is intentionally small, visits and placements are scheduled in advance through our waitlist.
Health first — always
Every breed we raise comes with its own known health considerations, and we take them seriously. We are intentional about our dam and sire pairings, and both parents complete health screening before any litter is planned.
