Patsy, the Bernedoodle, being the best girl ever! She fits that goofy, sweet, stocky Bernedoodle stereotype through and through ❤️ She will be 45lbs of pure joy for her future guardian home ❤️ Don’t you love her partial blue eyes too 😍

I can’t believe these two girls are still here, but we are enjoying every moment ❤️ They are going to be a wonderful part of our breeding program down the road ❤️ Whatever guardian home ends up with them is going to be spoiled with the next level sweetness that is Calypso and Patsy 😍 Can’t believe how much they have grown though, I am dreading doing their first haircut soon and loosing all that fluff, but it is time 🤣 and I know they will be cute all trimmed up too 😍

Love getting visits from our guardian dogs. We have had lots of visitors lately, but couldn’t help take a picture of sweet Jolene napping away on the couch.

Maevis is pregnant with Bing’s puppies for a November 19th litter of Mini/Medium Goldendoodles. These puppies will be 60% Golden Retriever, 40% Poodle and a mix of Apricot, Red, Black, Black Phantom, Blue Merle and Blue Merle Phantom. We can’t wait to meet these sweet puppies ❤️

Ah… what a crazy busy last couple weeks!

All of Tessa’s puppies have gone to their new homes except Hazel who is staying here a little extra until her family can come pick her up 🙂 She is keeping Chiron, Patsy and Calypso company though and doing very well with them! Patsy and Calypso we have loved watching them grow and seeing their sweet personalities! Both girls are going to be amazing additions to our breeding program and we are going to have a hard time letting them go to their guardian homes when they find them! Chiron is a big chunky sweetheart that honestly we can’t even believe is still here… He is one of the biggest Goldendoodles we have ever produced, but with the best personality ❤️ It is really fun watching the dynamic between these four, haha. Can’t wait to share more of them lounging around the house and also getting into mischief 😂

I have to apologize for my lack of posting lately. While I love my dogs and spend a lot of time with them, I do also have other things that I love and feel really strongly about. A couple of those things that have consumed my time the last couple weeks has been coaching volleyball at the highschool! So proud of these boys that have come out and love being able to have the opportunity to coach them this season 🙂 I also have been immersed in helping to organize The Holy Walk - A Journey to Bethlehem, where we recreate the journey to the birth of Jesus at the end of November at All Tribes Christian Camp. This is an amazing event that I love being a part of and brings in over 140 volunteers and had over 1300 people go through it last year ❤️ If you are local to us, make sure to check it out 🙂 Between those things and Youth Group start up, it has been busy to say the least! But each of these puppies have made it so easy to be gone (or busy) for a few hours a day for each of these activities and their training has been going amazing ❤️ So very proud of them ❤️

I am always amazed at how closely dog breeding and my other favourite activities go hand in hand. What brought me into breeding was the idea that I could bring so much joy to people by providing healthy dogs that have amazing traits to be therapy or service dogs for families. I could use my degree to produce the best behaved, healthiest, genetically diverse, most socialized and trained dogs out there, so that more people could stop supporting bad breeding practices and learn more to do what is best for dogs out there. We also help with youth group (probably the ministry I feel the most strongly about), because I think that teenagers are consistently underestimated and people overlook them a lot, but yet they are at such a pivotal point in their life where they are making life changing decisions. Each of these teens could change so much about the world and it is our duty to pour into them and support them into healthy choices in life where they will change the world for the good. Just like our dogs, we are doing everything in our power to raise them in a way where they will go out into the world and bring joy, peace and unconditional love. They will make a difference in so many humans lives for the better, making the world a better place. We take the extra time to socialize them, train them, make sure they are healthy and have the best chance at life. Then we educate the public on proper breeding practices and help other breeders to learn and grow more too.

Getting so many messages from families on how much joy their puppies are bringing them has really got me thinking a lot about the importance of using our gifts and training in life to do what is the most meaningful. At the end of the day, I could have worked a regular job and made more money and worked less time, but I know without a doubt that it would not have been nearly as fulfilling as doing these things that I know I was made to do. I highly recommend going out and doing a job that you are able to use all your gifts in and make sure to volunteer your time in your community as well. Volunteering has brought us so much joy and fulfillment in life and I really feel like it has started to become something that is more rare and that honestly breaks my heart. You are truly missing out! Find somewhere to volunteer your time today… even if it means you won’t be able to post on your business page nearly as much
😜

I will have some time this coming week to post more though, so watch out for the cute Calypso, Patsy, Chiron and Hazel (now Socks) pictures ❤️😍🥰 For now here are some fairly recently pictures of our four cuties left here soaking up all the snuggles 🥰 Love them all ❤️ The house keeps getting quieter though.. well as quiet as it can get with two adults, five kids, one cat, two fish, four adult dogs and four puppies 🤣

Calypso is the sweetest girl ever ❤️ Just love her and can’t wait to have her be a future momma someday! Whatever guardian home ends up with her is going to be so lucky 🥰 Can you find her 17 year old friend in the picture too 😜 Not very often Cisco jumps into pictures around here. He is definitely in old man grumpy mode with the puppies now (totally deserved at 17 years old), but still likes to be close by, they just aren’t allowed to play with him anymore. We love the puppies learning respect for smaller animals though through him ❤️ Isn’t Calypso beautiful though 😍

Kent Family Farms

Kent Family Farms has been a dream for many, many years. I (Ashton) grew up on a 142 acre hobby farm with Horses, Cows, Dogs, Cats, Chickens, Ducks, Turkeys and occasionally some Goats and other animals. I have always had a passion for animals and taking care of them, even from a very young age. I can’t describe the feeling of peace and comfort that they bring to me no matter the situation. You can be having a horrible day and can’t help but be happy when you come home to that wagging tail that loves so unconditionally. I know God had a magnificent plan when he made dogs (and all animals for that matter). They have and always will be a huge part of my life.

After moving out and going away to University, I decided to get my Bachelor’s in Biology and in the process maintained my focus on genetics throughout my University time. I married a man I love and am grateful for everyday and we have three truly amazing boys and the sweetest little girl. When we had our children we decided that I was going to become a stay-at-home Mom. This was a huge decision for me, as I am a very driven, social, career minded person by nature, but I have also always wanted to be a full time Mom and that would always trump any career that took time away from my kids if I could help it. We are grateful to have the ability to be able to make this choice. I am not one that easily sits still for too long though and like to be involved in lots of different things, especially with my kids or setting an example for my kids. One of the things that has always been on my heart and allows me to not only still be there for everything with my kids, but also give them an amazing experience growing up is dog breeding. Growing up we raised Golden Retrievers and I knew I always wanted to raise dogs again. It is an amazing and rewarding process that always brought so much joy to so many families and I wanted to continue that. Not only that, but it is a field that is so easily neglected or done for the wrong reasons, so we see many doing it improperly and I hoped that someday I could contribute constructively to that field.

So began my search for the perfect breed...

My heart has always been with Golden Retrievers, but my husband has some sensitivities to dander. On top of that a lot of the breedings I had been seeing were having more and more health issues. This is concerning to me, as health as a breeder should always be our foremost priority. I also (due to the dander) was looking for a breed that was better for those with allergies and had more versatility for different families lifestyles and sizes. I researched for a very long time and found many breeds that met the dander requirements but always would fall short for the temperament that I wanted or the health issues in that breed were not something I was wanting to work with. I then came across Goldendoodles. This wasn’t the first time I had heard of them. I just had dismissed the thought before because I grew up with Champion bred Golden Retrievers and doing a cross breed would be a big ‘No No’ in that world. But then I really looked without my already preset bias in place and actually looked at the research and the science behind the cross. I saw all the genetic benefits and I saw that they met every requirement that I was looking for in a breed. I was so excited! After a long time looking for the right dogs to start our breeding program we purchased our first breeding dog in 2011 to produce Goldendoodles and we couldn’t be happier with that choice!
