Q. & A. with Henry
Why did you start breeding?
While it could be tempting to carefully guard the genetics of our outstanding family dog Chesky, we decided that sharing her genetics with others was better. Our hope is that you will find a dog that you'll fall in love with from one of Chesky's litters.What makes your program special?
At OikiaDoodle, you'll find the health testing, registrations, and early neurological development you'd expect from the best breeders, but without the ethical problems associated with traditional puppy mill breeders and dog farms. Your dog will be socialized with our family and fully prepared for integration into it's new future.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.

About Chesky
Chesky is the Dame of OikiaDoodle mini Goldendoodle puppies and is an affectionate companion to the kids and grown-ups in her life. She’s a CKC registered 24-pound F1B (2nd gen) miniature Goldendoodle who’s most striking trait is her gentle, intelligent, and affectionate personality. Even as a pup, her calm and relaxed temperament was a striking contrast to stereotypical yappy, over-energized, goldendoodle pup. She hopes to pass on this exceptional trait to all of her pups. Don’t be mistaken, she loves a good run, adventures in nature, and walks through the neighborhood. But she’ll be just as content laying on the floor with a baby.
