We love our dogs and what we do, and we strive to make each puppy a great contribution to his or her forever home.
Q. & A. with Melissa
Why did you start breeding?
I researched like crazy and learned through the Puppy Culture Method and Badass Breeder programs. I sought out purebred Poodle breeders and asked a million questions. They have helped mentor me along the way. I’ve spent countless hours journaling and educating myself on mating/whelping/diet/training/etc. I’m self-motivated to excel at whatever I’m doing and will make no exception for breeding.What makes your program special?
Our program only breeds dogs that pass genetic and DNA testing. We will not breed dogs that show any health issues. Doodles are not mutts, and it takes extra care to not pass along poor genetics. Second, we prepare our puppies by crate, potty, and clicker training before going to their new homes. This ensures a positive transition for every puppy and new owner. We are very dedicated to what we do and what we are trying to achieve as breeders. We work with passion, heart, integrity, and truly want what's best for the Cavapoo and Goldendoodle lines.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Cavapoo puppies include toy and miniature sizes. Goldendoodle puppies are medium size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Goldendoodle puppies include cream and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
