CocoLove Doodles

Q. & A. with Jamika

• Why did you start breeding?

  Breeding dogs has been part of my life since childhood. Born and raised in Michigan, I grew up surrounded by animals and spent much of my early years helping my family raise Pomeranians, Pomapoo (Pomeranian-Poodle) mixes, and Cocker Spaniels. Even as a child in elementary school, I was deeply involved in the care, socialization, and joy of welcoming new litters into the world.

• What makes your program special?

  We start potty (pad)training at 2 weeks and basic training at 4 weeks. Temperament testing will be at 7 weeks. Each puppy gets individualized training and one on one attention. By the time our pups go home, they will know sit, wait, no, come, and down. They will also learn to walk on a leash, be outside potty trained, and kennel trained. All furparents are health, genetic, and temperament tested.

• What are the different breed sizes in your program?

  Goldendoodle puppies include miniature, medium, and standard sizes. Bernedoodle puppies include mini and medium sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

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

  Goldendoodle puppies include cream, chocolate, black, and phantom. Bernedoodle puppies include brown and white and tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

• Where do your breeding dogs live?

  They live in my home.
