Q. & A. with Ashly
Why did you start breeding?
It had always been a dream of mine to have enough space to have as many dogs as I wanted. We just recently bought a 50 acre farms and built a house and I knew it was time to give my dreams a chance. We have owned many different breeds of dogs, but I fell in love with the Goldendoodle breed. I got 1, then 2 and then a 3rd. I decided to give it my all and learn as much as I could so i joined many different Facebook groups and spent all hours of the night reading and learning. My first litter was October 2021. It was a BEAUTIFUL experience. I love providing families with dogs that are healthy and wonderful companions with great temperaments! I strive to stand a part from the rest!
What makes your program special?
My dogs are all house dogs. I have a 3 year old girl and a 7 year old boy that handles these dogs on a daily basis. My 3 year old even rocks them to sleep at night. When people show up to our house to view our adult dogs and puppies, they are greeted at the front door by them. They are NOT taken around back to the stinky kennel like some places I have seen in my area. We have and breed QUALITY and socialized dogs!
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are apricot. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
