Q. & A. with Nikki

  • Why did you start breeding?

    When we brought home our first child, we became super conscious parents and began the search for the perfect, safe, loyal companion for our child! Once we had a Goldendoodle, we knew we had to share them! Upon extensive education, genetic testing, and following our breeding mentor closely we started our own tribe!

  • What makes your program special?

    Each of our puppies is raised in our main living space with kiddos, everyday noises, and lots of hands-on attention. We start on day 2 with Early Neurological Stimulation to help combat stress and anxiety as they grown older. They learn and practice eating near children to prevent food aggression. They are also started on potty training and begin nighttime crate training before they come home. We don’t sleep so you can! Included with each puppy is a gift bag including: mom scented blanket, collar, leash, dog bowl set, and microchip. We are readily available to respond quickly to clients and potential clients who reach out to us. We also send frequent photos, videos, and are available by appointment for facetime. Have a profession that serves others? Ask us about our “Love of Service” discount that includes military families, teachers, medical workers, pastors and more!

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are petite size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include apricot and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.
