Q. & A. with Mariah
Why did you start breeding?
We were introduced to Australian Labradoodle from a family member that has one. We fell in love with this breed because of their gift for service and therapy work, non-shedding coat, intelligence, gentle nature, and intuition. These dogs have a desire to please people and have a sweet personality. We loved these qualities so much that we wanted to be apart of sharing this breed with others.
What makes your program special?
We believe that ongoing communication and customer service are essential for success with our puppy’s FURever homes. We are ranked one of the top Labradoodle breeders in Missouri.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our 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 puppies include red, apricot, and cream. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
