Diane was very knowledgeable about all things Golden Doodle. She didn’t mind me taking a few extra beats to choose a puppy, and the in-home environment for the puppies was really nice. She sent lots of product recommendations, which was nice to have for a specific breed. They do a really nice job raising the dogs; the puppy we got is healthy and happy.

Working with Diane was an absolute joy. She kept me updated with all the milestones the litter was hitting and was sure to send pics and videos of all the puppies and individual videos and pictures as well. Her commitment to making sure we all had the right puppy products was so helpful and allowed us to be completely prepared for our puppy Dewey.
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
