I'm Melanie Z., the breeder behind Marmalade Cavapoos located in Salt Lake City, UT. We've bred cavapoos for many years. Lady Honeycomb is our current queen. Roman, the sire, is a bit more removed from the pups (by choice), but produces gorgeous dogs. Our F1 cavapoos are socialized, loved, fed healthy food, nursed until Honeycomb stops naturally, and adored.
Q. & A. with Melanie
Why did you start breeding?
I've worked in social services for 25 years. About 10 years ago, I started hobby breeding as a way to bring joy to my soul. Now I am a puppy breeder and all-dog lover, and hope to have dogs around me for the rest of my life.
What makes your program special?
We are a tiny operation. We produce two litters per year, and only with our pets. We belong to an amazing network of breeders and we all share our small animal husbandry knowledge to make sure our pups are healthy and happy and loved.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
