Q. & A. with Teal
Why did you start breeding?
I have always loved animals, but I got interested in breeding in 2012 after purchasing our first AKC Standard Poodle. Our girl, "Zelda", was an amazing family dog with great conformation and temperament. After two years of research, we had our first litter in 2014 and loved every minute of it. Raising a litter of puppies properly is a lot of hard work, but also an extremely rewarding experience. After a few years of raising Standard Poodles, we then fell in love with Mini Goldendoodles and had our first litter of Doodles in 2018.
What makes your program special?
Communication! Getting a new puppy is a very exciting and special time for any puppy family. We provide excellent communication with our puppy families, sharing new pictures and videos daily, sending personality updates, and answering any questions that they might have along the way! We love raising puppies, and will always be there for our puppies and their families if they ever need anything.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
