Q. & A. with Ashley

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have always been an animal lover but because my husband is allergic to most animals, I had few options for dogs. We decided on a standard poodle. Soon after I decided to become a dog breeder. We are so excited whenever we have puppies and I love the interaction with the adoptive families. Breeding is a passion of mine and I never stop learning. My kids love having puppies in our home.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our puppies are raised in our home and accustomed to the noise of a family of 5. We love each puppy as our own. I love sharing updates with families via videos and pics so you get to see your dog grow up too! We find such joy and fulfillment in raising these wonderful dogs and preparing them for success with their forever families. We use Puppy Culture and include Early Neurological Stimulation.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Goldendoodle puppies include petite, miniature, medium, and standard sizes. Poodle puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Goldendoodle puppies include cream, apricot, red, black, phantom, and parti. Poodle puppies include apricot, cream, red, and phantom. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

Getting a puppy from Ashley

Ashley has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Ashley partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 6 weeks old.

“We allow our families to come for a 45-min individual sesson and choose their puppy out in person once the puppies are 6-7 weeks old. This is done in order on the waitlist. This is one specific day called Puppy Pick Day. No other day is scheduled for this. This allows family to see the personalities of the individual puppies and early temperament. If someone can't be there in person, we offer a 40-min Zoom call instead. While the puppies are growing up, we upload videos to our YouTube channel which has an individual playlist created for each litter. We find this really helps our buyers narrow down who they want when it comes time to choose. ”

    Ashley was incredibly responsive and helpful. Her work with the puppies (manding, desensitization, potty training, challenges) made all the difference in having such a smooth transition taking our puppy home. He’s just had the most wonderful temperament. I would 100% buy from her again and/or recommend her puppies to others.

  • Kim B.

    Verified owner · May 2025

    Ashley was wonderful from the very beginning of the process. From the moment of curiosity to the present as we are now caring for our sweet puppy. She is professional, responsive and knowledgeable about all things puppy. We appreciate this breeder so very much and are grateful for her love and care for these dogs. I highly recommend this company.
