Q. & A. with Monica
Why did you start breeding?
Growing up my parents raised Westies in our home & it was then that I developed my love for dogs. Throughout life, my dogs have helped me through some of the most difficult times & were there to celebrate & enjoy the happy times as well. My goal is to continue with long lines of fully health tested goldendoodles with the devoted & loving temperaments so many love in the goldendoodle!What makes your program special?
We are a small in home breeder of multigen mini goldendoodles. We are a GANA gold level breeder so our breeding dogs have passed DNA testing, OFA eyes, heart, elbows, patellas & hips are also certified. Our puppies are raised in our home with Puppy Culutre & Empowered Breeder protocols, including ENS/ESI (Early Neurological Stimulation & Early Scent Introduction) & gentle handling techniques. Health & temperament are of upmost importance. My husband & 4 sons & I are all involved with raising these puppies to give them the best start possible so their future forever families can enjoy them for years to come!What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include petite and miniature sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include apricot, red, black, and phantom. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
