Q. & A. with Vaunte
Why did you start breeding?
I started breeding during the pandemic but gathered some experience from my mom who occasionally bred toy poodles growing up. KessiDoodles was created with the intent to start a family business bringing joy to people all over for many different reasons.What makes your program special?
Here our dogs aren't treated like pets they are family. They get the love and attention we show each other, regular checkups, and sometimes dinners better than we eat lol. Both mom and dad live in home with me and are provided 24/7 love and attention. Sometimes we do outsource studs for litters, they will be listed if so. We do extensive checks into local breeders and families providing stud services, to ensure we are working with the best quality & healthiest studs.We offer top quality medium-standard size F1bb Goldendoodles. Both parents are genetically health tested with great pedigrees. Each of our litters are raised in-home and are well socialized with other dogs. They are also introduced to common household noises and handled daily by children and adults.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include miniature, medium, and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
