Q. & A. with Erika
Why did you start breeding?
After listening to a local veteran share his struggles with anxiety and PTSD, my family and I felt inspired to help. We knew that Australian Labradoodles were specifically bred to be therapy/service dogs, so we decided to purchase our foundation ALD and raise exceptional family and therapy dogs.
What makes your program special?
At Bonzer, our vision is to produce healthy, well-adjusted, confident puppies with exceptional temperaments that thrive any environment. Our mission, our calling, is to bring these incredible dogs together with those in need of companionship and support. We have committed to donate one puppy from every litter to a local therapy/service organization.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include miniature and medium sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include caramel and apricot. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
