Q. & A. with Jana

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My family owned a kennel when I was a child. I grew up cleaning pens, socializing puppies and bathing them for Gotcha Day.

  • What makes your program special?

    We stay in contact with our families long after the baby goes to their new home. We post frequent updates with photos sharing them with our Kava Kennels family years after adoption. When purchasing a puppy from Kava Kennels the family receives a lifetime of support for their fur baby. We are available for play dates, boat rides, training advice and more.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Assorted Doodle Crosses puppies include medium and standard sizes. Goldendoodle puppies are standard size. Poodle puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Assorted Doodle Crosses puppies include white, red, parti, gray, chocolate, cream, black and white, and apricot. Goldendoodle puppies include silver, cream, apricot, black, merle, and parti. Poodle puppies are parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
