Q. & A. with Mary

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Before breeding, I started dog training in 2012. I have trained hundreds of dogs of various breeds over the years. During that time, I found that the Labrador Retriever and Doodle breeds were some of the most intelligent, happy, and eager to please dogs. I fell in love and decided I wanted to replicate those traits to produce well-tempered, healthy, easy to train puppies.
  • What makes your program special?

    We breed because we are passionate about creating wonderful, loving, healthy, and intelligent family dogs. We know that bringing a new puppy home is one of your family’s most exciting and treasured memories we want to make it a special experience. Every family deserves a loving, healthy puppy from a breeder that is dedicated, trustworthy, and stands behind the puppies they produce.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Labradoodle puppies are standard size. Poodle puppies are standard size. Goldendoodle 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 Labrador Retriever puppies are yellow. Labradoodle puppies are red. Poodle puppies are red. Goldendoodle puppies are red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.
