Q. & A. with Melissa
Why did you start breeding?
My husband and I decided to breed after we fell in love with our first set of doodles. We were shocked at how smart and loving they are to everyone.What makes your program special?
Our program is based out of our home, we don’t have a garage or special out building for these pups. They have their own room in our house, and are raised in our home with our family. We make the health of our dogs and puppies a priority, we don’t over breed our females and make sure that they stay very healthy. We only breed our females with our male, we do not use stud services.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, apricot, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
