Our journey then turned to finding the right location to grow our program. That’s when we found Callie our Cuddle Cavapoo! And Puppy Paws Colorado was complete. We searched high and low looking for the right breeder with the right puppy to join our program. That’s when I discovered the Cavapoo breed (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel crossed with a poodle). She was retiring and offered my an opportunity I could refuse, to add the sheepadoodles to my program! Finally, as you all know my journey started with Spaniels.

Eventually I fell in love with sheepadoodles as one of my mentors bred this line. I networked with other breeders, and started taking classes on puppy curriculum as well as genetics. I wanted to share how amazing this breed was with so many other people. This is when I decided to go back into breeding. Her name is Georgia and she is the most amazing kind, sweet and laid back dog. I was obsessed with the breed and was elated to have one of my own. Eventually I bought my first Goldendoodle. I was still a huge animal lover and always had several at home. After graduating I got a job, got married and had a family. Surprisingly I did not pursue becoming a veterinarian and headed off to college where I earned my Bachelor’s in Psychology. I truly had (and still do) a passion for dogs and animals even job shadowing a veterinarian in Highschool. I cleaned all of the whelping kennels and puppy runs as well as the large dog runs. My first job was also at a Labrador Retriever breeding kennel. We decided to breed and had 3 generations of English Springer Spaniels at home.

I used our Springer Spaniels in 4H, competing in both obedience and showmanship and advancing to the state competition level held in Pueblo, CO. We bought an English Springer Spaniel puppy as my dad trained them in field trials and used them to hunt pheasant and quail. It all started when I was just a kid, we found an amazing breeder in Nebraska and bought our first puppy. We have been involved with breeding dogs throughout our lives. This combination gives the dog the intelligence and low shedding factor of the poodle along with the sweet natured loving personality of the Golden Retriever, Old English Sheep Dog, or Cavalier. The Doodle is a cross between a Golden Retriever, Old English Sheep Dog, or Cavalier King Charles Spaniel bred to a Poodle.
