Q. & A. with Joyce
Why did you start breeding?
I researched all ALAA breeders in the 5 surrounding States, corresponding with and talking to my top 3 choices. I have developed relationships with all 3 over the past 7 years as well as joined the Doodle Breeders FB forum.What makes your program special?
We are hands-on, pups are born in our home. We do the ENS, begin consistent early handling, add stuffed obstacles once they begin to move around, use educational toys, teach early manners, climbing over larger obstacles, housebreaking, expose to new environments, textures, sounds, tunnels and strictly vet all the potential adopting families. We choose the pup for each family-based.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 ice, caramel, apricot, chocolate, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
