Q. & A. with Melissa
Why did you start breeding?
After having Rex for 6 months we felt he needed his own dog. Haha I mean he needed a friend. I wanted a girl because, I only have boys in this house! I knew I wanted an F1 so that if we wanted to breed they would be more compatible. We had them both health tested, and I began down my favorite part genetic pairing. Putting together their DNA to see what color/coat we would get.What makes your program special?
We have done so much research to make sure we are producing healthy and well tempered dogs! DNA clearing, puppy rearing, and nutrition. Starting with the DNA cleared parents. Feeding high calories to mom so she can provide nutritious milk for her pups. Finally the care we provide to pups, we are following a development protocol, introducing to Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), Early sent stimulation, slow introducing daily life so that they trust humans and are well adjusted!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Melissa and Walker Branch Doodles. She was always quick to reply to our messages and answer our many questions. She gave her time to let us have a video call, since distance kept us from viewing the litter in person. It was above and beyond to share the travel distance with us! She arrived with a thorough folder of papers and useful information, as well as a thoughtful goody bag of food to transition on, treats, toys, and poop baggies. Our pup was obviously loved and well cared for… she’s a delight to have around. We love her to pieces and highly recommend Walker Branch to other families considering a puppy for their family. Thank you for everything!!

+4We really appreciate how involved Melissa & Bart were involved. They were so responsive to all of our queries. Gracie (fka Daisy) is settling in well. I think she is a little confused why our cat, Charlie won't play with her. Too funny! Gracie has nestled herself into our hearts. She is already such a large part of our family. We look forward to our future with her and can't wait for our future chapters of our life's story.

+4Walker Branch Doodles was highly responsive during this experience. They kept us updated on how the puppy was doing as well. The drop off was perfect and the puppy package was the cherry on top.
