Q. & A. with Shana
Why did you start breeding?
A friend was telling me about their breeding program and it really inspired me to research being a breeder more. I knew I wanted to keep it very small, and I have always wanted a Goldendoodle or a Poodle so I got both! These are my first litters and it's been a wonderful experience so far. My ultimate goal is to raise good, quality puppies that make life better for someone.
What makes your program special?
My program is very small. I knew that whatever I did, my dogs would always come first. My dogs love to run and play on the farm and they get to be dogs. I chose my 2 Goldendoodle girls carefully, they are sisters and have been together since birth. I also chose my Poodle carefully and wanted to focus on temperament. My focus is to provide a puppy that is capable of being a service dog.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, red, 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.
