Q. & A. with Patty
Why did you start breeding?
I was looking for a Labradoodle when I moved to NC. I contacted Jenny at Swinging Gate Labradoodles. After talking to her, I decided to breed. A life long dream come true. She has been my mentor and my friend. And my love affair with Labradoodles began.
What makes your program special?
My pups are all health tested. OFA, CERF, genetics. I only have 1 litter at a time so I can give them all my attention. They are socialized with other dogs and people. They leave with their 1 st shots, dewormed 4 times and are micro chipped. We are proud members of the ALCA.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include miniature and medium sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include caramel, red, apricot, chocolate, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
