Q. & A. with Stephen
Why did you start breeding?
We made the decision after much discussion. We are both "business-minded" people, and believe this would be an excellent opportunity to build a business based on something we are passionate about: Goldendoodles. In this way, we can share this enthusiasm and joy of the breed with other families!What makes your program special?
Our program is special because we have no plans to become a large scale breeder. We may add another female at some point, but we want to be a specialized breeder that can focus on raising pups in a loving home and family environment, and pass them on to people with the same intention so that the pups can grow into the perfect family member.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include apricot and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Miss Bo
Miss Bo is not just our breeding Dam, but is a cherished member of our family. She is the sweetest dog we could have ever hoped for. Highly intelligent and loyal, she has even learned to cohabitate with our cat! Bo has an insatiable love for water, whether it be a garden hose, the lake or the ocean shore. She is always up for playing frisbee, and all of our neighbors know Bo by name and say hello as they walk by. Miss Bo's best friend in this world (other than us!) is a stray kitten that showed up here a few months ago!
