About Us
Who are we!
Hello, we are Tom and Laurie-Anne. We were blessed with five children – four sons first followed by a surprise fifth child, a daughter. We believe children are a gift from God and we have loved raising our family. We are firm believers in raising children with a family dog/pet as it benefits children in so many ways. Dogs have always been part of our busy family.
Our Family
Our family has grown over the years. One by one our children married and then grandchildren started coming. We are at thirteen and counting…………..I love sharing the puppy raising process with them!

My Dream
- My Dream to breed dogs started as child after experiencing the process of raising puppies from my mother.
- I’ll never forget my first experience seeing puppies born. My mom woke my sister and I, in the middle of the night and we watched our Cocker Spaniel giving birth.
- Now that my 5 children are grown and after extensive research and taking courses on the breeding, whelping, and puppy raising process, I have the time and am excited to be living My Dream.
Why Goldendoodles?
- After our family dog passed away in 2000, we started our search for a new puppy to join our family.
- Our choice of dog breeds was limited because some of my children suffered mild allergies. Our previous family dogs had been small breeds and my boys wanted a larger dog. So the search began for a larger dog breed that my boys could tolerate with their allergies.
- This is when we discovered the Goldendoodle Hybrid which proved to be a good choice for my allergy sufferers.
- We found the perfect fit for our family. She was a beautiful black goldendoodle. We named her Musta – the “Finnish” word for Black.
- Musta had such a calm and loving personality. Everyone who met her loved her. She always wanted to do whatever the family was up to – whether it was camping, spending time at the cottage, baseball parks, or just hanging out at home and cuddling on the sofa.
