Q. & A. with Michelle
Why did you start breeding?
The journey to Sweet Pine Doodles began with loss. Loss of a husband and father and the blessing of a heart dog whom God used to heal our brokenness. In the darkest of days, Toby was there to comfort us and remind us to smile. We want to provide everyone the opportunity to have a dog like Toby, one who heals hearts and changes lives.
What makes your program special?
Our puppies are empowered puppies. They receive Early Neurological Stimulation, Early Scent Introduction, advanced puppy curriculum, evaluations and a voice in their placement. Our focus for our puppies is to prepare them for therapy and service dog training as well as for being companions, emotional support dogs or loyal pets. Our puppies are healthy, happy and well socialized. Our mission is for Humans and dogs alike to be heard and lives changed through the power of a dog.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Bernedoodle puppies include medium and standard sizes. Goldendoodle puppies include medium and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Goldendoodle puppies include cream, chocolate, black, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
