Q. & A. with Robin
Why did you start breeding?
I started breeding 8 years ago when I met my first Goldendoodle at my children's therapist. I knew I needed one for me! Following a lot of research, our family started out with Rosie, a beautiful AKC Golden Retriever, and Royce, a spectacular AKC Poodle.
What makes your program special?
After doing the health testing we are very particular about temperament and conformation of our breeding stock. We socialize the puppies with different ages and races of people. Doing ENS and Puppy Culture give our puppies a great start to being a family member.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Bernedoodle puppies include mini and standard sizes. Goldendoodle puppies include petite, miniature, medium, and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Bernedoodle puppies include sable and tri-color. Goldendoodle puppies include cream, apricot, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
