Q. & A. with flo
Why did you start breeding?
We started breeding in 1997 and we bred Labs, then labradoodles. Years ago we had a golden and she was the best dog we could have asked for, we strived to get the same temperament she had to all our pups. It took me 3 yrs looking for Jazzy before I found the lines I thought would be great and I was right, then another yr to find the stud,What makes your program special?
It took me 3 yrs to find my girl she has Champion blood lines, even our vet said we had to breed her, Excellent hips, normal elbows, eye, heart, teeth excellent. Temperament excellent. And the stud we found is the son of a International Champion C.I.B. Goldenrush Goodlife.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
