Q. & A. with Alicia
What makes your program special?
I breed Bearded Retrievers, which is an offshoot of Goldendoodle that places top priority on health testing, temperament, and structure. Our puppies are raised with Puppy Culture and at 3 days old, the puppies begin their Early Neurological Stimulation to help them grow into stronger and more resilient adults.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Goldendoodle puppies include medium and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
