Q & A: What Are the Factors That Make What You Do Different and Superior to Other Breeders?

Several key factors differentiate us and contribute to the excellence of our breeding practices:

1. Mission-Driven Approach: Our breeding program is founded on a clear mission to produce exceptional companion and therapy-grade dogs that excel in health, temperament, and intelligence. This mission serves as our guiding principle in every aspect of what we do, from selecting pedigrees to nurturing puppies.

2. Deliberate Selection of Pedigrees: We meticulously hand-select pedigrees for our breeding program, prioritizing health, temperament, beauty, and trainability. By choosing champion and therapy/service bloodlines, we ensure the genetic superiority of our puppies. This deliberate selection process is crucial in producing dogs with desirable traits and minimizing the risk of genetic defects working directly with EmbarkVet and having Dr. Moodie as part of our program.

3. Comprehensive Care and Training: From the moment our puppies are born, they receive unparalleled care and attention. They are raised where they are showered with love, socialization, and early neurological stimulation thanks to our 9 children who currently live with us. Our structured curriculum and puppy development programs ensure that each puppy grows into a confident, well-adjusted companion.

4. Lifetime Commitment: Our responsibility to our puppies extends far beyond their adoption. We take 100% responsibility for every puppy we produce throughout their entire lives, offering a three-year contract and ongoing support to their new families. This lifetime commitment underscores our dedication to the well-being of our dogs and the satisfaction of our clients.

5. Innovative Breeding Initiatives: In addition to our current breeding efforts with Golden Retrievers, Poodles, Bernese Mountain Dogs, & Australian Shepherds/Mini American Shepherds we have ambitious plans for the future. We are working towards developing proprietary breed standards each designed to embody the best qualities of their parent breeds while meeting the specific needs of modern families who suffer from allergies or prefer a low-shedding dog.

These factors, combined with our passion, expertise, and commitment to excellence, set us apart as breeders who prioritize the health, happiness, and purpose of every dog we bring into this world.

What truly sets us apart and, in our humble opinion, makes us superior, is not only the quality of our breeding program but also the families that choose us. It might sound a bit sentimental, but it's undeniably true. Our journey as breeders is deeply intertwined with the stories and experiences of the families who allow us to raise their new puppies.

The families that select us aren't just looking for any dog; they're seeking a lifelong companion and a cherished member of their family. They share our passion for dogs and our commitment to providing them with the best possible care and environment to thrive. In essence, they become part of our extended family, joining a community of like-minded individuals who prioritize the well-being and happiness of their furry companions above all else.

Moreover, the families that choose us often embody the values and ethos that define our breeding program – compassion, integrity, and a genuine love for animals. They recognize the importance of responsible breeding practices and the impact it has on the health and temperament of the puppies we produce and they are willing to invest in that being a force for change supporting state-licensed professional programs/family businesses.

So, while it may sound a bit corny to say that the families who select us contribute to what makes us different and superior, it's a sentiment grounded in truth. Their trust, their love, and their commitment to providing a loving home for our puppies are integral to the success and integrity of our breeding program.

We are incredibly grateful for every family that chooses Stokeshire Designer Doodles, and we pledge to continue serving them with the same level of dedication, care, and passion that has come to define who we are; treating others as we would like to be treated and maybe even a litter better than we deserve.
