Q. & A. with Brittany
Why did you start breeding?
My mom raised Rottweilers since before I was born and then moved into other breeds including my first boxer Penny, from there I was hooked! You could always find me in their whelping box cuddling the babies and caring for the puppies.
What makes your program special?
I am passionate about providing well socialized and healthy puppies. The families that purchase from us become part of our puppy family, and I am always here if they have any questions. I always am willing to take a puppy or adult back if the owner can no longer care for the dog. I am a breeder with integrity and have our puppies best interests at heart.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Poodle puppies include miniature 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?
Our Poodle puppies include apricot, parti, and phantom. Bernedoodle puppies include black and white, tri-color, and phantom. 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.
