Q. & A. with Julie/Kennedy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We found 2 high quality golden retrievers and found a nearby breeder who had high quality, health tested males, and whelped our first litters in 2017.
  • What makes your program special?

    The overall health of our moms and puppies is our main objective. Our moms are pets first, and mom’s second ! Early socialization, daily interaction, age appropriate vaccines and deworming, a super clean environment, all add up to a healthy, well adjusted puppy by the time they go home! Our moms are all either breed specific genetic health tested through Animal Genetics, or clear by parentage.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Bernedoodle puppies are mini size. Goldendoodle puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Bernedoodle puppies are tri-color. Goldendoodle puppies include cream, apricot, red, chocolate, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

    We’re first time dog owners and while the process of picking the perfect dog can be difficult Julie made it so easy. It’s very evident they care well for all their puppies. I had NUMEROUS questions and Julie was always SO responsive and assured me I was no bother. Their home location was about 5.5 hours from us and she did everything she could to lessen our travel. We ended up meeting in Cedar Rapids to get our puppy who had been freshly bathed and all ready for us. Not of importance but I love how they don’t assign the puppies a name rather assign them a number. We’re a big hockey family and have decided to name our puppy Bauer and I love that he was assigned number 14 as that will always be his jersey number. If you’re looking for a good, knowledgeable breeder - look no further! I’d purchase a puppy again through them in a heartbeat. Bauer has provided our family with the love and laughs we didn’t know we were missing!

    I am so blessed that I found my forever friend through Ms. Julie! Boy 52 is now named Zuko after his red hair. Ms. Julie helped me with all my questions/concerns during the process of buying her pup and even after receiving him! She is very knowledgeable and kind and responds to messages very quickly too!

    Julie was very responsive and knowledgeable about Buddy. She answered every question I had and more. Buddy is doing amazingly well, and he was definitely worth the eight-hour drive.
