Q. & A. with Virginia
Why did you start breeding?
We have been breeding independently for 7 years but I grew up with dogs and puppies my whole life. I wanted a breed that had the low-no shedding and allergy friendly coats with a temperament that was less anxious and needy than other doodle crosses can be. Duck doodles have the affectionate and loving temperaments that many doodles are known for but have a healthy independence and self confidence
What makes your program special?
Our breeding program only uses breeding lines that are first and foremost healthy. We choose our parents based on their wonderful temperaments and gorgeous dispositions. We only cross parents who are good fit healthwise and also compliment one another's temperaments and structure. Every breeding is an intentional decision to produce healthy and well tempered puppies.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
