Q. & A. with Heather
Why did you start breeding?
We got into breeding because of our Goldendoodle, Finley. Her calm, loving nature and beautiful coat inspired us to share that same joy with other families. After months of research and careful genetic selection, we began raising healthy, well-loved mini “teddy bear” doodles right here in our home.
What makes your program special?
Our program is family-run and built on love, not volume. Every puppy is born and raised in our home, surrounded by care and socialization. We focus on health, genetics, and temperament to create gentle, intelligent mini doodles. Each pup is loved from day one and placed with families who value them as much as we do.
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 red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Finley
Finley – Multigenerational Mini Goldendoodle (Dam)
Finley is our beautiful multigenerational Mini Goldendoodle, weighing 30 lbs and embodying the perfect balance of intelligence, calm temperament, and family-friendly personality. She’s affectionate, loyal, and gentle — the kind of dog that connects instantly with everyone she meets.
Genetically, Finley is approximately 80% Poodle and 20% Golden Retriever, bred from generations of health-tested Goldendoodles selected for coat consistency and even temperaments. Her coat is a rich red, fully furnished and curly, giving that classic “teddy bear” look while remaining low-shedding and allergy-friendly.
Finley has been OFA and PennHIP tested with excellent results (hips good, elbows and cardiac normal). She carries one copy of ICH1 but is otherwise completely clear across all genetic panels. Her intelligence and calm, nurturing personality make her an exceptional mother — patient, intuitive, and loving with her puppies.
Every litter from Finley is planned with intention — focusing on health, structure, and temperament — producing puppies that are confident, affectionate, and perfectly suited as lifelong family companions.
