Q. & A. with Cheryl
Why did you start breeding?
My husband started breeding German Shepherds 40+ years ago. We fell in love with the mini Goldendoodle’s in 2020 and the rest is history.What makes your program special?
We create a clean, safe, loving & learning environment for our puppies. It’s very important to work with puppies from the beginning to help them excel to live a happy life. They start learning young and are more open to experiencing new smells, noises and exposure early on. We take advantage of this and work with each of these every day. They are socialized with other dogs, people and children.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 cream, apricot, red, black, phantom, merle, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Goldendoodle
About Chata Rose
Chata is a Red & White Tuxedo Miniature Goldendoodle. She weighs 24lbs. Chata loves to play frisbee and communicates very well with her words. In fact, sometimes I think she won’t let me have the last word. Lol. Doodles are very cuddly and active; they love to spend time with their people and their personalities are by far the best I believe, of course I am very bias🌹 she has been health and DNA tested.

Cheryl was great, from the first interaction to the giving of my loving pup. You can tell she takes great pride in what she does and cares a lot about the puppies. I am so blessed that I was given my Ziggy, he is just a ball excitement. Cheryl is truly the best, sending pictures and sending toys, brushes and informing me of things to stay away from and things that are best for these doodles. Couldn’t be more happier with working with her she was amazing, and I hope to work with her again in the future. Absolutely amazing

Cheryl was very responsive in our interest in our new puppy! I have a young family with three kids under 3 and we wanted a family dog to grow up with our kids and become part of our family. Cheryl was amazing in educating me on Goldendoodles and even getting our new puppy Boots a kick start on potty and crate training as well as getting him used to being bathed and groomed. She was amazing to work with and we had our puppy within three does of becoming interested in him. We definitely recommend!
