What makes Katie’s program special
We are with our puppies 24/7 from the time they are born! Our whole family is part of the process, ensuring that the puppies absorb as much love and training as they can in the beginning weeks of their lives. It is very important to us that our dogs are not just cute and cuddly, but that they have the best start to developing wonderful personalities and dispositions. It's our desire to better the breed so others can enjoy them for years to come.

Why Katie started breeding
Our family has had the amazing privilege to adopt 4 of our children. Our daughter was born with some unique challenges and one thing that we found that has helped her over time, was the companionship of our doodles. When we discovered the outgoing, loveable, intelligent nature of our dogs, we knew we wanted to breed in order to offer high quality companionship to other families.
