Q. & A. with Betty
Why did you start breeding?
My journey into dog breeding started simply—with a deep love for dogs and a desire to share that joy with others. What began as a personal connection with my first Goldendoodle and Shih Tzu quickly turned into a passion. I was fascinated by their unique personalities, intelligence, and loving nature.
Over time, I realized how much of a difference a responsible, caring breeder can make—not just in the life of a puppy, but in the happiness of the families they join. That’s when I decided to learn everything I could about ethical breeding practices, health testing, socialization, and proper care. Today, I’m proud to raise healthy, well-loved puppies that bring joy into people’s lives.
What makes your program special?
I focus on quality over quantity, raising each litter with hands-on care and attention in a home environment. All my parent dogs are health-tested to ensure strong genetics, and puppies are well-socialized with people, sounds, and routines from day one. I prioritize temperament, health, and a perfect family match—because bringing a puppy home should be a joyful, lifelong bond, not just a purchase.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Bernedoodle puppies are standard size. Goldendoodle puppies include miniature and medium sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Bernedoodle puppies include brown and white and tri-color. Shih Tzu puppies are tricolor. Goldendoodle puppies include red and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
