Q. & A. with Nicole
Why did you start breeding?
I started breeding about 4 years ago with our first goldendoodle, Nala. She turned out to be the best dog, the perfect mix of fun and laid back. I knew that others would enjoy a dog like her as well.
What makes your program special?
I am able to breed these amazing dogs with the help of my 5 kids. It is special for us and great for the puppies. They are socialized, touched, and played with. We do spend lots of time with each of the puppies and treat and train them like they are our own. Past litter owners have nothing but positive things to say about our dogs and we hope we can continue to raise healthy and happy dogs for families.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include petite and miniature 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, black, phantom, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
