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

Our mission

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."

How we raise our puppies

We do the hard work — so they're ready

Every litter follows the same structured path before going home.

3
Weeks 7–9
Foundation training

Crate, potty, and leash training all begin before a puppy ever leaves us.

4
Week 9+
Going home

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.
