Q. & A. with Dana
Why did you start breeding?
After getting my first Goldendoodle in 2016, I was heartbroken that some breeders gave them a bad reputation. I researched extensively to understand what was needed to improve breed standards and prove that Goldendoodles could positively impact lives the way mine did for me. I committed to doing it the right way with health testing, proper socialization, and ethical practices.
What makes your program special?
We're committed to raising exceptional puppies through early development protocols, genetic health testing, ENS, and ESI. Each puppy receives individualized socialization, crate training, and extensive exposure work to build confidence and resilience. What truly sets us apart is our lifetime commitment. We take back any dog we produce, no questions asked, ensuring none ever enter shelters.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include miniature and standard 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, and merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
DNA Disease Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
