Q. & A. with Laura
Why did you start breeding?
Brian's childhood friend has been successfully breeding adorable mini goldendoodles for years, which influenced our decision. After the encouragement and mentoring from our friends, much research, and consultation with our vet, we purchased our first Bernese Mountain Dog and Toy Poodle and began. We have raised our moms and dads since they were puppies, leading to a slow start-up, but is consistent with our commitment on quality.
What makes your program special?
We are a small operation, so we spend a lot of time with all our dogs, especially our puppies. Our focus on quality breeding stock and the well-being of our dogs and the relationship with our veterinarian allows us to offer a two-year health guarantee. They also come home with a health certificate from the vet, dewormer, up to date on shots, and a microchip. Every family we meet is our priority as we match them with a puppy.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are mini size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, black and white, and tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

There’s just not enough good words to talk about our interaction with Laura at Pleasant Creek mini Berniedoodles. She was communicative from the very first email. She even FaceTimed with us and the puppy we were looking at. All the vet appointments early on were taken care of so we had a healthy dog and the little puppy we brought home was absolutely perfect! We couldn’t love her anymore. She’s just so sweet, she’s healthy, and she’s an amazing addition to our family. If you have a chance to adopt from Laura, please do so! You will not be disappointed!
