Q. & A. with Shari
Why did you start breeding?
Having two children in the special needs community, I got to see how many families benefited from an animal connection with their children. Our Goldendoodle was huge in helping my daughter overcome anxiety. I decided to bring this blessing to other families and set about studying as much as I could about breeding therapy dogs.What makes your program special?
I specialize in breeding dogs with the temperament and aptitude to become certified therapy dogs. I also do a ton of socialization and training to help set them up for as good of a chance for success in these areas as possible.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Goldendoodle puppies include miniature, medium, and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
