Q. & A. with Barbara
Why did you start breeding?
I have always loved dogs and have had many different breeds over the years. My sister has raised Cocker Spaniels for the last 30 years and I helped her when I could and thoroughly enjoyed it. I fell in love with Goldendoodles and am now breeding them.What makes your program special?
Goldendoodles are ideal companions for people with special needs. Being a family affected with autism, we have found the Goldendoodle's calm demeanor and easy training a perfect fit for us. Our goal is to provide your families with the love and joy that our family has found with these wonderful dogs.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
