Q. & A. with Kristen
Why did you start breeding?
I was mentored in my breeding program by a friend who breeds Golden Retrievers. When they had their first litter of Goldendoodles, our family decided to purchase one and we were hooked. This was the breed for us! I pursued genetic testing for my first dam and education in best breeding practices. We offer genetically sound pups who are raised for confidence and excellent temperament.What makes your program special?
Our family works with our litters for cleaning, socialization and temperament evaluations while I run the "mother ship". The pups are raised in our home with their dam always at their side, but also free to remain the special part of the family that she is. Exposures focus on family life and raising pups to be comfortable in a home and understand the boundaries that are required in home life.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, apricot, black, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
