Q. & A. with Richard
Why did you start breeding?
Life-long Passion for Dogs
Ever since I can remember, I've had a strong affinity to animals, dogs in particular. The broad range of characteristics and behaviors of different dog breeds captivated me; each possessing a unique set of attributes cherished by their owners.
The singular physical elements, coupled with inborn instincts and patterns, gave each breed an exclusive aura of uniqueness. This has led to my life-long dream - to be a dog breeder. My aspiration is to breed puppies that reflect the finest traits of their breed — robust, well-adjusted dogs. I feel this adds significant value and joy to several families, offering them a cherished family member in their new pet.
I understand dog breeding is a matter of great responsibility and care. Hence, I intend on being zealous in the selection of breeding pairs. Likewise, I aim to offer exceptional attention to the health and welfare of my dogs and their puppies.
Through such conscientious methods, I believe I can contribute positively to the field of dog breeding. I aspire to bring joy to families near and far, by welcoming new, loving furry additions to their homes.
What makes your program special?
The uniqueness of our dog breeding program lies in our unyielding passion for every dog's health, happiness, and well-being under our supervision. It is our belief that a responsible breeder must attend to their pup's health, happiness, and societal adjustment right from birth, not just producing ones that meet breed standards.
To achieve this, we put forth extra effort to identify pairing breeds that not only possess desired physical characteristics but also exhibit temperament and personality traits fitting to be exceptional family pets.
Each puppy since birth is given needed attention, equipped with socializing skills and necessary training, aimed at developing them into confident, well-mannered dogs. This method also aids in their better adjustment to different environments.
We stand committed to guaranteeing our dogs and their future generations receive top-notch veterinary care, proper nutrition, and adequate exercise for their optimal health and well-being. We trust that through these endeavors, our dog breeding program does not just stand as special, but also sets a standard for excellence.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Poodle puppies include toy and miniature sizes. Bernedoodle puppies include mini and medium sizes. Goldendoodle puppies include petite, miniature, and standard sizes. Cavapoo puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Poodle puppies include sable, brown, red, and parti. Bernedoodle puppies include brown, red, tri-color, and merle. Goldendoodle puppies include red, chocolate, and merle. Cavapoo puppies include merle, blenheim, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
