I'm Alyse K., the breeder behind Sturgeon River Doodles located in Indian River, MI. We want to provide our future families with great tempered, happy, and healthy pets. Our dogs and puppies are raised inside our home so they have a lot of socialization with people.
Q. & A. with Alyse
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding after a lot of research and the following groups on Facebook. My dogs are great and I wanted to make the Goldendoodle breed better. I have a few mentors, that answered a lot of questions and helped me, but I still have a lot to learn. My first litter was born this past Friday and everything went pretty smoothly. Watching them grow is only going to make me love it that much more. I'm in awe.
What makes your program special?
We take a lot of time with our dogs. Our puppies will be inside our home and handled by kids. They will have a lot of outside time, sensory toys, and adventure cubes. We will work on litter training as well. My females are UKC and AKC registered while my Goldendoodle is CKC.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Goldendoodle puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Goldendoodle puppies include cream, chocolate, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
