Q. & A. with Kathrine
Why did you start breeding?
Started breeding and showing Golden Retrievers in 1989 as a small but dedicated hobby.
What makes your program special?
Every puppy is born and raised in our home. They are raised in a very clean environment where they are exposed to many social and textural stimuli. They are vet checked, vaccinated, and dewormed on a schedule outlined by our vet.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Goldendoodle puppies are medium size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Goldendoodle puppies include apricot and red. Golden Retriever puppies are golden. French Bulldog puppies are cream. 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.
