Q. & A. with Anthea
Why did you start breeding?
In 1970 we produced our first litter of quality Golden Retrievers. We were drawn into the art of selecting, breeding and exhibiting this beautiful breed. Nearly 40 years later I met a Goldendoodle. I was hooked. One Goldendoodle lead to two, then three and I was sold.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
