our Brand

Welcome to Stokeshire Designer Doodles, where passion, purpose, and exceptional canine companions come together. Rooted in faith, family, and a deep respect for creation, our mission is to provide families with dogs that inspire joy, purpose, and adventure.

Our Heritage and Inspirations

Our heritage is as beautifully mixed as the dogs we raise. With roots in the English Midlands, a love for the Midwest, and inspiration drawn from Utah’s Beehive State and Pioneer spirit, our traditions celebrate the blend of past and present. During the winter, we embrace Scandinavian simplicity and the cozy Danish concept of Hygge, fostering warmth and connection in all we do.

Brandmark

At the heart of Stokeshire's identity is our logo: two triangles, one upright and the other inverted. This geometric design symbolizes male and female principles, a timeless representation in alchemy and astrology. Together, the triangles form the Shield of David, a nod to our spiritual heritage and unwavering faith in Jesus Christ.

The resulting star creates a hexagon, mirroring the intricate structure of DNA, the blueprint of life. This design reflects our admiration for creation’s complexity and harmony, honoring the divine artist and designer who makes all things possible.

Wordmark

The name Stokeshire carries rich historical and personal significance. It originates from the English Midlands, where our family name has its roots.

• Stoke: Derived from the Old English word stoc, it conveys a sense of place, encompassing meanings like a farm, summer pasture, crossing place, meeting place, and even a place of worship. For us, it is all these things—a representation of our connection to the land and our commitment to approach every aspect of life as an act of worship, inspired by 1 Thessalonians 5:18.

• Shire: Paying homage to our English Mercian ancestry and traditional rural culture, "Shire" embodies a sense of community and nostalgia. It’s also a tribute to our love of Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings.

Additionally, our brandmark subtly incorporates the Saltire or Saint Andrew's Cross, reflecting our Scottish heritage.

Our Visual Identity

Our carefully curated color palette—muted Copper, Harbor Grey Blue, Magic Black, Elder White, and Slate Grey—encapsulates the serene beauty of a fall day in Wisconsin. Imagine a Bernese Mountain Dog standing watch over a flock of sheep against a soft grey sky. These colors are more than a visual choice; they evoke the emotions and values that define our brand: balance, trust, and quality.

Why a Fall Brand?

It reflects the warmth of tradition, the depth of purpose, and the intentionality behind every detail. For Stokeshire Designer Doodles, the fall aesthetic mirrors our core values: faith, family, and meaningful connections.

Through this design, we aim to provide not just a service, but an experience—rooted in the beauty of nature, the care of family traditions, and the artistry of intentional craftsmanship.

Community Impact Through Our Red Fern Mission

At Stokeshire, we believe every individual deserves the joy and healing that a canine companion can bring. Through our Red Fern Mission, we are dedicated to creating life-changing connections by providing scholarships to help children, veterans, and families welcome their beloved companions into their lives.

Our dogs are more than pets—they’re partners in healing, joy, and growth. Whether bringing comfort to children in therapy programs, offering support to veterans navigating life’s challenges, or enriching the lives of families, our mission is to make these transformative relationships accessible to those who need them most.

Together, we’re creating ripples of positivity that reach far beyond a single home, shaping brighter futures one Stokeshire dog at a time.
