Q. & A. with Chris
Why did you start breeding?
Our journey into breeding began with a love for dogs and a desire to teach our children the responsibilities of caring for puppies and raising them into healthy pets. What started as an adventure to explore different breeds and understand the popularity of Aussiedoodles quickly evolved into a deeper commitment. We dedicated ourselves to becoming knowledgeable and compassionate breeders. Our family embarked on a collective learning experience, with Chris traveling to Texas to bring home our championship bloodline and handsome stud, Crusher. Additionally, we adopted Linda from a respected breeder and mentor here in Florida. Through this process, we delved into the intricacies of bloodlines and the importance of producing robust, healthy litters.What makes your program special?
Our breeding program is special because love is the foundation of everything we do as a family, including raising puppies. Our children are involved in all aspects of this experience. The older children are learning the business side of breeding while the littles are learning to be careful, loving, and gentle caretakers. We are so thankful to be able to share this experience together and the countless memories we will treasure for a lifetime!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable, blue merle, and black phantom. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
