Q. & A. with Kirstin
Why did you start breeding?
My family fell in love with our first aussiedoodle, Mia, after having golden retrievers. After the goldens passed, we bought another aussiedoodle with breeding rights. My three litters were sold to all family and friends:) I enjoy making families happier by providing a high quality puppy for them to enjoy!
What makes your program special?
It all starts with my loving, high quality, genetic tested, adults. All of my adult dogs are our family dogs. They have passed the CGC and some have therapy certification! This translates into my puppies, especially being raised using Puppy Culture Methods. My puppies have a good foundation in potty training, clicker training, and crate training prior to coming home!
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include mini and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue merle, red merle, black phantom, black tri-color, red phantom, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

She loves picking on her older brother, Baxter (actually her uncle). They enjoy playing tug of war, going on walks, and cuddling on the couch.
