I'm Shannon M., the breeder behind Hammercreek Doodles located in Lebanon, PA. We are lifelong dog enthusiasts, and we’re excited to share our passion and purpose with others through our breeding program. We are a small, family-run breeding program focusing on quality care and good health. Our puppies are the perfect loving and loyal companions!
Q. & A. with Shannon
Why did you start breeding?
I grew up raising Golden Retrievers in my parents house. When Derek and I got married, we continued raising Goldens and English Mastiffs until we simply were tired of the hair and wanted a smaller dog with less shedding. Raising well bred and well socialized puppies has always been a passion that we want to share with others.
What makes your program special?
Our puppies are raised inside our home just as if they are our own. Both parents were genetically health screened and have excellent results. We do Early Neurological Stimulation with each of the puppies to give them a head start in their development. They are extremely well socialized and loved from the minute they are born.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are mini size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include brown and white, blue merle, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
