Q. & A. with Lauren
Why did you start breeding?
Like I mentioned before, I'm an animal lover, I always have been. I didn't always want to be a dog breeder though not until sometime after high school. I have some dog breeding friends and they've been great mentors to me since they've been longer in the business. They helped me realize that I want to do this full time.What makes your program special?
I specialize in breeding happy, healthy Cockapoos and Labradoodles, with Cocker Spaniels coming soon. Each litter is raised with love, care, and a focus on temperament and health.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black white and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Flynn, dad
Poodle
About Flynn
Flynn is a sweet, affectionate and playful moyon poodle. Should've named him Tiger from Winnie the Pooh because of how high he jumps! He loves to dig, chase around and play with his toys! And often whenever you scratch him he will wrap his arms around your arm like a hug! The only thing he isn't a fan of is car rides.
Holly, mom
Cockapoo
About Holly
Holly is a little more on the scared side. She is timid if she doesn't know you at first and it takes time for her to warm up to you, but once she does she shows how sweet she is and that she just wants to soak up all the attention she can. Fun fact about her is she isn't a fan of puppy pads and when you rub her she will lean her head into your hand, often will even rub her body on you. She loves to dig too and just like Kenzie she lays flat on her stomach legs out stretched, their puppies have been known to lay the same way like their moms.
