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?

    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?

    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.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    I had a wonderful experience getting my Goldendoodle from Betty at TrueLine Kennels. From the very beginning, she was friendly, responsive, and genuinely cared about the health and well being of her puppies. She answered all of my questions, kept me updated throughout the process, and made bringing my puppy home a smooth experience. My Goldendoodle is healthy, happy, and has such a sweet personality. I would absolutely recommend TrueLine Kennels to anyone looking for a well loved and well cared for puppy

    Betty was wonderful to work with. We purchased a ShihTzu female from her 2 weeks ago . It is east to see that she lived in the puppies while in her care and also worked on potty training with puppy pads. She gave us a puppy bag which included several toys, chew sticks, food and topping, a small blanket that had been with the momma and siblings. We named our pup Callie and she’s learned her name quickly! Potty training is going well and if I had more $$ I would have liked to buy two! Thank you Betty for a great experience in our first purchase of a CKC pup!

    Betty was very responsive and knowledgeable about the breed! She made the process very easy. She kept me informed and updated with my puppy throughout his growth with her. Upon picking up my puppy I received all of his paperwork, birth certificate and a bag with things he would need such as toys,food,and other goodies! Bringing King home he was already Faux grass and puppy pad trained.I had the best experience with Betty I would definitely recommend!!

    Betty was very patient and professional. She made me feel very comfortable and supported. Her knowledge and care for the puppies are commendable. I adopted Big Boogie a week ago. I changed his name to Grizz. He is so smart and calm. You can tell that he came from a loving environment. Yesterday, we visited the vet for his second set of vaccines. He did very well. My family loves Grizz.

    Betty was very professional and understanding during the whole process. We initially met at my job and when I told her I was interested in a new puppy she throughly explained everything. She allowed me to make multiple payments over the course of 3 weeks and was patient also. My puppy was already socialized with animals and children. During his pickup, I received a numerous amount of items and information to make my first puppy experience smooth. My puppy came with a microchip, birth certificate, his CKC, a blanket from his mother, food, a bed, and lots of treats. Thank you so much Betty for giving me my forever baby!

    We are “over the moon” with our new puppy. Our breeder “Betty” made everything go so smoothly. She was a great communicator and coordinator throughout the entire process. She also went above and beyond with the take home bag we received alongside our puppy. She included a dog bed, puppy pads, toys, blanket with litter scent, brush, treats, birth certificate and puppy passport/vet records. By doing this- it gave us several more days of preparation. Thanks again Betty!
