Our Philosophy & Practices

Mission Statement

Mission Statement

Mission Statement

image86

Our mission is to produce the best, healthiest possible dogs for companions, therapy, service or competition and to raise them as naturally as possible.  We strive to have a positive impact on the environment, to practice anti-racism and anti-oppression, and to promote social justice in our business and personal lives.

Lifestyle

Mission Statement

Mission Statement

Our dogs live with us on 35 acres near Acadia National Park.  Our dogs hike, swim, run through the woods and love to hang out in the house with us.​  We feed premium foods and treats exclusively from PawTree,  Life's Abundance, and TLC.  Their supplements are from NuVet.  Please let us know if you'd like information about any of these product lines.

Socialization

Mission Statement

Environmentally and Socially Responsible

image88

We raise our puppies using the Avidog and Puppy Culture protocols with some adaptations based on our experience and new research. We recently completed the Good Dog Savvy Socialization Course. Our puppies are socialized, and started on house, crate and clicker training when they go to their new homes.

To minimize our impact on the planet, we compost, re-use and re-cycle.  We avoid plastics (but some dog toys are a necessity).  We compost waste and use cloth instead of paper whenever possible.  We proudly support the following organizations:

Friends of Acadia

Allied Whale

College of the Atlantic

Maine People's Alliance 

Non-Profit Anti-Racism Coalition

National Association of Colored Women's Clubs


Health & Genetics

Environmentally and Socially Responsible

Health & Genetics

All of our parent dogs have the hip, elbow, eye, heart, thyroid, patella and DNA exams and clearances recommended for their breeds.  

Parents are evaluated and paired to produce puppies with the best temperament, health, intelligence, confidence, style and beauty.

We are proud to be Red-Ribbon level members of the Goldendoodle Association of North America (GANA).  We adhere to their stringent health-testing requirements and code of ethics.  We are working toward qualifying for GANA's Blue-Ribbon level and many of our parent dogs and litters already meet the blue-ribbon criteria.

Each of our puppies is handled daily starting at birth, and receives ENS treatments from the third through the sixteenth day of life.  The result is an increased capacity that positively affects the dog for life and includes:

  •  Cardio-vascular improvement
  •  Stronger adrenal glands
  • More tolerance to stress  
  • Greater resistance to disease 
  • Increased ability to learn

An extremely wide range of people/families provide excellent homes for puppies and dogs.

  Therefore, we will NOT discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, political beliefs, or familial status.


We are dedicated to finding loving, responsible homes for our puppies.  Rather than reserving puppies on a first-come-first-serve basis, we carefully select the best families from our pool of applicants for EACH litter.

Our puppies are litter-box trained early.  We start the process when they are 2 weeks old!  They learn to use a  dog door reliably at 4 - 6 weeks of age.  By the time they go home, they are using the litter box, and/or outside area reliably.  All you need to do is get them used to YOUR home/yard/dog-door, stick to a schedule, and watch them closely!!
