Q. & A. with Angie
Why did you start breeding?
I did rescue for years. When I had my children, I decided to get a puppy from a breeder for the first time so I would know exactly what I was getting. After tons of research, I decided on either a Goldendoodle or a Golden Retriever. I had such a hard time finding a good breeder, I decided I would research starting my own program. It's been many years and I'm still loving it.
What makes your program special?
We put our heart and soul into every puppy. Our parent dogs are in our home and spoiled rotten. Our puppies are raised with Puppy Culture which I feel gives them the best start in life. I also keep in touch with all my adoptive families and offer a lifetime of support and advice.
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 cream, apricot, red, chocolate, black, and phantom. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
