Q. & A. with Alexa
Why did you start breeding?
We started raising farm dogs in the 70s, took a break, and here we are! We have seen the tragedy of unethical and back yard breeding and want to provide owners with reasonably priced, high quality dogs. As working professionals, raising pups in our home is a blessing and joy.
What makes your program special?
Our goal is to provide high quality pups for reasonable prices to high quality owners.
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 brown and white, black and white, and black tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Stella is so very special.
I have had the best experience with Summers Haven Doodles!
I was able to visit the puppies whenever I wanted to (they actually encourage this) so I could get to know each puppy and find our perfect fit.
Summers Haven Doodles has taken time with me (it's been a while since I had a pup) to make our transition perfect.
