Q. & A. with Karen
Why did you start breeding?
Years ago, I was looking for a new dog to add to my life. After much research, I was compelled to become involved with the Labradoodle breed. These dogs are absolutely amazing and I found the passion that the breeders and owners have for their dogs was contagious. From there I set out and became involved. I love my dogs, I am passionate about breeding, and am very proud to be a Labradoodle breeder.
What makes your program special?
I breed only the healthiest parent Labradoodles that have exceptional dispositions and conformation according to the Australian Labradoodle breed standard. I believe that to attain a quality dog, puppies need to be raised with love, and attention to physical and mental health. My litters are raised in our home. Each puppy gets an abundance of care, attention, and love.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include medium and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include caramel ice, caramel cream, caramel, caramel red, red, gold, apricot, cream, chalk, chocolate, cafe, lavendar, parchment, black, blue, and silver. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
