Q. & A. with Helena
Why did you start breeding?
With two young kids always pleading for a dog, we finally gave in! After researching, we found that Goldendoodles were the best fit for us. Most of our puppies are sold within South Florida due to our stellar reputation and word of mouth, but we are willing to transport within the United States. After 9 years of breeding, we are still in love with Goldendoodles and the puppies we raise!
What makes your program special?
Our tight-knit family of four is invested in breeding Goldendoodles well. Unlike other impersonal breeders, we keep our breeding to 2 litters a year to retain our small exclusive breeding model to ensure safe and healthy puppies. We begin socializing and house training puppies around 6 weeks of age, as well as showering them with all the love that they need before transitioning into your home.
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 apricot and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
