Q. & A. with Janie
Why did you start breeding?
Some of my fondest memories growing up included my family and pets. I raised my first litter of puppies at age 14.
After marriage my husband and I, with our daughters, raised and showed puppies. Throughout the decades our puppies have enriched the lives of many families.
We can’t imagine a time without our pet(s). Let us help you and your family find just the perfect match.
What makes your program special?
Our program is a multi-generational program developed over the last 50+ years. Remember experience matters.
Each puppy's journey begins the moment it is born into our hands. Nurturing starts immediately. Every day, every puppy experiences life with us, in our home, through sights, sounds, tastes, and touch. We take great pride in preparing them for their life with their new family.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include merle, sable, red, blenheim, tri-color, black and tan, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Janie was incredible with communication and very helpful with helping Stormy get to me. We met halfway in North Carolina. It was clear that she and her husband (and her daughter who also is a breeder) really loved her and took good care of her. She’s is the sweetest, most beautiful dog I’ve ever seen. I got her when she was 10 weeks old and now she’s almost 6 months old! She’s my best bud and if I needed to adopt another Cavapoo I would go through Janie and her daughter again. I’ve already recommended them to folks who want a Cavapoo!

Janie was awesome to work with! She was so patient and helpful, as she answered my many questions. I’ve had my “Cricket” for 2 weeks, and I couldn’t be happier or love her more! ❤️
She arrived with a great start on potty training, crate training and walking on a leash.
Our Veterinarian was beyond impressed with Cricket’s health. And, also commented on how well balanced, inquisitive, smart and friendly she is… Cricket is the whole package, and I believe Janie had A LOT to do with that. Thanks Janie!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Janie, Jamie, and Autumn Poodles/Doodles. We saw our little guy and wanted to take him home, but we were going out of the country for 10 days three weeks later. Janie offered to board him at a very reasonable price while we were away, got him his puppy shots, and sent us updates and pictures. She has been so responsive and communicative throughout the whole process. She and her family are also very clearly dog lovers and very knowledgeable, and all of their dogs get the utmost love and care.
There is still one puppy left from our puppy's litter, and if she's anything like our little guy, she'd be an amazing pet! Thank you so much, Janie and family!

Janie was awesome!!! She thought of everything, she even included a puppy tote bag with starter gifts included. She was kind and I’m sure she takes excellent care of all her puppies until they go to their forever home🩷. I had such a positive experience with Janie!
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
