Q. & A. with Christian
Why did you start breeding?
After searching for our own Goldendoodle, my wife and I found it hard to find a breeder that checked off all of our boxes while sticking with the true 50/50 Goldendoodle breed. With this realization, we decided to begin our own program. The rest is history!
What makes your program special?
We devote our time, energy, and efforts to each litter to ensure our puppies are properly socialized from the moment they are born and are prepared to excel in their forever homes.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include medium and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include apricot, red, chocolate, black, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
