Q. & A. with Candace

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My love for Doodles inspired the start of my program. I am devoted to ensuring there are happy and healthy Doodles for others to enjoy, and do so by responsibly growing my incredible lines. Producing healthy pups and placing them into loving homes is my way to give back to the breed and the humans who love them.
  • What makes your program special?

    We have been named the best Miniature Labradoodle and Goldendoodle breeder in Utah for a reason: We raise every puppy in our home, surrounded by our children and the daily cacophony of family life. Our immersive method ensures that each puppy receives all the extra attention, stimulation, and socialization it needs to become the best companion you will ever have. We chose our puppy parents specifically for their calmness and obedience, and we are confident that no matter which puppy you choose, that you will be getting an exceptional dog. We are anxious to make the puppy-buying process as easy on you and the puppies as possible!
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Goldendoodle puppies include petite, miniature, and medium sizes. Labradoodle puppies include miniature and medium sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
