Q. & A. with Christel
Why did you start breeding?
I’m actually a 2nd generation breeder! I grew up with my family raising Rottweilers and then began breeding myself as an adult about 10 years ago🥰What makes your program special?
I really do believe we go above and beyond to give our pups an outstanding start to life! We keep things small, and only have one maybe two litters at a time, allowing us to spend a large amount of quality time with each pup!What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Aussiedoodle puppies are mini size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Aussiedoodle puppies are blue merle. Yorkipoo puppies are black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
