I'm Carrie M., the breeder behind Care Bear Puppies located in Rush, NY. We have developed several protocols to ensure the health and well-being of all of our dogs. It’s our top priority to make sure each of our puppy families welcomes a happy and healthy new family member into their homes! We offer group deliveries as a courtesy to families for a small fee and it is much more reasonable than other breeders.
Q. & A. with Carrie
Why did you start breeding?
I have always had a passion for animals and volunteered at my local veterinarians office growing up. I took a huge interest in breeding puppies all while growing up.
What makes your program special?
The puppies are raised by kids, in a home with the normal hustle and bustle noises and around cats to give them the best chance at settling into their new homes.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Goldendoodle puppies include petite, miniature, and medium sizes. Poodle puppies include toy and miniature sizes. Shihpoo puppies include tiny and mini sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Goldendoodle puppies include cream, apricot, red, chocolate, black, phantom, merle, and parti. Shihpoo puppies include merle, red and white, red, blue and white, black and white, black gold and silver, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
