Q. & A. with Makenna
Why did you start breeding?
I've enjoyed working with animals from a young age.
My first momma dog was my four-legged companion, she went to work with me everyday. I loved seeing how she mothered her puppies and knew I wanted to do this long-term. She has since retired, but my love for newborn puppies and new families coming together hasnt.
Raisng four-legged companions for others has been an amazing experience for sure!

Our Cavapoo puppies are miniature size. Poodle puppies are miniature size. Aussiedoodle puppies are mini size. Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Cavapoo puppies include black, black and tan, red, blenheim, and apricot. Poodle puppies include black, cream, and parti. Aussiedoodle puppies include blue merle, black and white, and black tri-color. Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include red & white, red tri, red merle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

Makenna made it easy to connect and answered all questions promptly. We love our little Ruby and she's having a great time playing with her big brother. She even has her own move. We call it the flying Ruby! We would definitely use B& M Cottonwood Canines again in the future.
