Q. & A. with April
Why did you start breeding?
We began breeding Goldendoodle puppies in 2016 with our first beloved Standard Poodle and Golden Retriever parent dogs. Our aim was to provide extremely healthy and beautiful puppies and to hold ourselves to the highest breeding standards.What makes your program special?
We emphasize the health of our breeding parents & puppies. We believe diet is extremely important in life-long good health so we feed the most natural diet available.

Our breeding dogs live in our home and our puppies are raised with daily family contact--including adults, children, & other dogs.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include miniature, 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?
