Home-raised with our family, friends, and other animals; our puppies or the epitome of the perfect pet.
Q. & A. with Denise
Why did you start breeding?
Breeding was a natural step for us to take from having loving dogs in our family for so many years and wanting to share that with others. We spent time researching dog breeds, breeding techniques, genetic testing and asked lots of questions from puppy owners, other breeders, trainers, and groomers! We wanted to make sure if we were going to breed dogs that we were going to do it right. We have developed a wonderful breeding program!
What makes your program special?
What doesn't make our program special?! The following are all included in our program plus so much more: Genetically tested parents, Puppy Culture, ENS, ESI, Pat Schaap's Rule of 7's, crate training, potty training, car training, tons of socialization exercises, prep for groomers, handled and loved daily, raised in our livingroom and Volhard's Puppy Aptitude Testing.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Aussiedoodle puppies are mini size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Aussiedoodle puppies include black phantom, black and white, black tri-color, and red phantom. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
