Q. & A. with Ryan & Sarah
Why did you start breeding?
We started with our own Goldendoodle and fell in love with the breed. What began as a family interest grew into a small, careful program. We prioritize health testing, proper socialization, and placing puppies in homes that fit their energy and needs.What makes your program special?
Parents are health-tested (including hips), CKC-registered, and vet-checked. Puppies receive daily exercise, play, and people socialization in a home environment, plus age-appropriate vaccines and a clean bill of health. We provide lifetime support, and carefully screen buyers. Our focus is always on the health of our pups and moms and finding our pups the perfect family.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include medium and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, apricot, red, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
