Q. & A. with Suzie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I've always loved dogs and was thrilled when we had an accidental litter as kid. I was with them constantly. It became my dream job. At 21 yrs old I started buying my foundation breed dogs. 1st one was a fabulous German Shepherd, Jasper. Over the years our family's activities have changed along with the breeds to Golden Retrievers and Goldendoodles w/the fun personalities & lower shedding dogs
  • What makes your program special?

    I spend 24 7 with my pups, I start puppy training process at 3 days old with ENS/ESI then we move on to Puppy Culture protocal. I have had children with every litter. Therefore the pups are always kid friendly and they accept the love of a child.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include dark golden and golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

    Amazing! Suzie and her family were super welcoming. Suzie is very sweet and she answered my questions and concerns I had about my new puppy. She has an amazing place and environment where she cares for her puppies. She’s very responsible on making sure to pair you with the right puppy and she makes sure the puppies go to a good loving home and owners. She me gave all the paperwork I needed for Emi and she even gave me a little cute bag with some treats and toys for my puppy. She told me I could always reach out to her if I had any questions, concerns or needed help with Emi. I’m so in love with my new puppy! She turned out to be just what I needed and wanted. THANK YOU SO MUCH Suzie for being such a caring breeder. I will strongly recommend those out there looking for a cute, adorable and faithful companion like a Goldendoodle look no further than Soda Springs Kennel by Suzie. She’s an amazing person and her puppies are the cutest! I’m so happy to have found her. THANK YOU Suzie.
