Q. & A. with Tammy
Why did you start breeding?
Many years ago we received a wonderful, gorgeous male Golden Retriever named Shadow. We wanted to get a dog to be a emotional support animal for a family member who is disabled. Shadow was the best possible dog and companion not only for the disabled family member but he proved in so many ways how wonderful and priceless a forever companion can be and be such a big part and blessing in our family.
What makes your program special?
Anyone can breed. That is why we take it very serious and we know that we are the advocate for each and every puppy and litter that we plan to have. We diligently prepare and do everything we know how to provide the best possible head start for them. The more we know the more we know we don't know. There is so much to learn from each of of these priceless puppies and each parent of our litters.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Poodle puppies are toy size. Goldendoodle puppies include petite and miniature sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Poodle puppies include brown and red. Goldendoodle puppies include cream, apricot, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
