About Starlo's
About Starlo's
More Than 40 Years of Dogs, Families & Love
Debbie is the heart and soul of Starlo's American Cockapoos. Her breeding story began in 1985 with AKC Cocker Spaniels. In 1999, she began introducing Poodle sires, developing the Cockapoo line that would become Starlo's American Cockapoos. Through more than 40 years of breeding experience, Debbie has remained devoted to individual attention, careful breeding, and a genuine love for her dogs and the families who welcome them home.
What began as a deep personal passion has grown into a multigenerational breeding program built on careful planning, individual attention, and lasting relationships with Starlo's families.
Debbie & Buck — Starlo Ranch
A Ranch, A Family, A Way of Life
Starlo's puppies are raised at Starlo Ranch in Christmas Valley, Oregon—surrounded by the wide-open spaces and everyday life of the ranch.
Buck is an important part of Starlo Ranch and the life that surrounds the Cockapoos. Together, Debbie and Buck have built something that goes well beyond a breeding program — a home where dogs are family, and where the families who adopt them become part of the Starlo's story.
Starlo's is built around real people, real dogs, personal attention, and relationships with families that often continue for many years. For more than 40 years, that personal connection with families has remained at the heart of Starlo's.

A Story Worth Preserving
A History That Reaches Beyond Today
Over the years, Debbie and Starlo's have been featured in books, newspapers, magazines, and radio interviews. Those materials are now part of the Starlo's archives and help preserve the story of more than 40 years of Cockapoos, families, and memories.
That history is part of what makes Starlo's unique. Long before today's website, the Starlo's story was already being told—and it continues with every puppy and every family who becomes part of it.
Families Come Back
The Starlo's Family Grows Every Year
One of the most meaningful parts of Starlo's history is seeing families return years later for another Starlo's Cockapoo. A family who welcomed their first Starlo's puppy years ago often comes back when the time is right for a second — or a third.
Those returning families are an important part of the Starlo's story. Relationships that began with one little puppy have sometimes continued for years—and even decades.
