Q. & A. with Marilyn
Why did you start breeding?
I got my first poodle in 2010. She was a chocolate brown poodle. Demised due to health reasons, I was heartbroken. I later decided to get another fur-baby family member and after doing some research, I fell in love with goldendoodles which is a mix of the poodle and golden retriever; two of the most smartest, intelligent, obedient, loyal, fun loving, and easy temperament breeds. I fell in love with and got my fur-baby Nola, a miniature apricot goldendoodle in December of 2019. I love how unique the doodles, their temperament, and how easy they are to train. My love for goldendoodles has grown into a passion to produce healthy, quality, well-rounded fur-baby goldendoodles for the next family,What makes your program special?
Here at MJ's Designer Doodles we only breed 1-2 litters a year so that we can focus on producing quality and well socialized puppies. This allow us to provide the attention and care that our parents and puppies need to ensure they are healthy, sociable, and able to adapt to their furever-homes.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, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
