Q. & A. with Brenda

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Our Cockapoo journey began with Loki (Apricot Cockapoo). Breeding was never part of the plan, so we had him neutered (never bred). Years later we returned for Millie, a friend for Loki. We hoped to have a puppy from her someday. After the first litter. I discovered how much joy I found in nurturing puppies and watching them grow. What began unexpectedly became something I truly love.
  • What makes your program special?

    Puppy Garden is something I do because I genuinely love caring for animals. We intentionally keep our breeding program small. We breed one litter at a time, allowing us to give each litter the time, attention and care they deserve. Millie gave us beautiful puppies, and despite of requests for more, we honor our promise of only three litters before having her spayed. She is loved and with us.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies include mini and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include merle, red, cream, brown and tan, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
