I'm Teresa C., the breeder behind Penny located in Layton, UT. We believe in responsible breeding in a loving, nurturing home. Our kids adore playing with Penny, our Goldendoodle, and help raise pups with care and kindness. Every dog is family, and we’re committed to giving them the best start in life—happy, healthy, and well-socialized.
Q. & A. with Teresa
Why did you start breeding?
We began breeding to create a meaningful, hands-on experience for our family, teaching our kids love, responsibility, and the joy of raising happy, healthy puppies in a caring home.
What makes your program special?
Our breeding program follows professional standards, but we’re not a breeding farm—we’re a loving family with one amazing Goldendoodle, Penny. She’s part of our daily life. This is her second (and last) litter, raised in our home with care, love, and socialization, ensuring every pup gets the best possible start.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include miniature and medium sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include apricot, chocolate, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
