About Taylor
I have always been a dog lover my entire life. When I first wanted to find a Goldendoodle I felt it was hard to find and connect with a breeder I trusted This sparked my interest in starting my own breeding program. I wanted to be different and set apart. I like to connect with my buyers and be someone they can trust. I am passionate about my dogs and love watching my puppies change people’s lives
What makes Taylor’s program special
I make special connections with all my buyers. I have great communication and like to showcase what we are doing on Instagram. I raise the puppies in our home and follow both Badass Breeder and Puppy Culture curriculum. I am very passionate about producing healthy- well-rounded puppies. I am also licensed with the state of CO and GANA breeder.

I follow the Badass Breeder and Puppy Culture programs. Starting with ENS, and ESI. We then start introducing them to different textures, toys, and experiences based on their age. We work on fear responses and noise desensitization. Our puppies are introduced to crate training and potty training. We begin with a litterbox at 3 weeks old, and transition them to using the bathroom outside by 6 weeks old. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Various sounds, Socialized with other animals, Introduced to people of different ages and appearances, Socialized with other dogs, Daily handling, Scent introduction, Socialized in new places, Socialized with children, Surface & tactile stimulation, Car rides, "No" Biting or Chewing, Clicker Training, Puppy Culture , Puppy Manners, Human Interactions , Litter Box Trained, Scent Introduction, Initial House Training, Beginning Grooming, and ENS.
All of our puppies are wormed at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks old. They receive their first set of shots around 6-7 weeks old from our vet at this time he also gives them each an individual thorough exam.
We send our puppies home with Blanket with mom & littermates’ scent, Registration, Initial potty training, Puppy starter kit, Toys, Food & treats, Vet records, Microchip, Microchip, Food Starter Bag, Soft Carrier Bag, Blanket with Littermates' and Mom's scents, Toy with Littermates' Scent, and Vaccinations.

Why Taylor started breeding
I absolutely fell in love with doodles. I have a huge passion for dogs and I wanted to produce puppies with amazing temperaments that can change lives and heal the hearts of their families. I wanted to be someone buyers could trust and build a relationship with through our dogs. I know the power of a dog and what they have done for my own family and life, I love that I get to experience that with my buyers.
