In 2019, we were blessed by a dear friend (thanks Becky!), who presented us with a generous opportunity to get the pup of our dreams - a Goldendoodle.  We were so grateful that we decided to keep to option of breeding Sweetums one day so we could pay it forward and bless other families!

We moved from Cincinnati, Ohio to Brunswick, Georgia in July of 2021 and didn't know if the opportunity to breed her would ever come to fruition.  We had decided that if we were to breed her with another Goldendoodle, that we wanted the opportunity to come together naturally, and that's just what happened!

In March of 2022, Brett and his Glynn Academy colleague, John "JT" Bennett discovered through a conversation that The Bennett's had a male Goldendoodle named Fluffy, and that they too, thought that breeding their pooch would be a enjoyable experience.

So a few weeks later, we arranged a meet up between the two at a dog park and almost immediately the two hit it off and played together well.  As luck would have, a few weeks later Sweetums went into heat and so we rushed the "wedding" and the union between these two love birds Doodles began.

In early July we started noticing changes to Sweetums' physique, and on July 8, the veterinarian at Coastal Home Veterinary Services confirmed her pregnancy and gave us an estimated delivery date of July 20, 2022.  

We are just a sweet family of 9 doing life together in the Golden Isles of Georgia!

Brett is a School Counselor & Mental Health Counselor in the surrounding community.

Gretchen is a domestic engineer, operating the day to day activity at home while homeschooling the kids.

Salem (11) is our Lego maniac.

Solomon (10) is our outdoor enthusiast.

Sonnet (8) is our girly girl, princess, fairy, everything pink lover.

Sweetums (4) is our family Goldendoodle who provides all the entertainment and cuddles. 

Nimbus (6 month) is our newly acquired stray cat, that literally wandered into our life this year.

More about Sweetums:

Sweetums, The Momma, is a 4 year old F2B Goldendoodle (Both her mother and father were 1st Generation Goldendoodles).  Sweetums has proven to be a calm, sweet, and loyal companion.  She was incredibly easy to house train and naturally enjoys a game of fetch.  She is a gift giver and will always greet us with a slipper, stuffed animal or whatever else she can quickly find to bring.

Aside from her sweet and calm disposition, she also provides a watchful eye to our home.  She rarely barks but kindly alerts us to anyone that knocks at our door.  Another major perk is her trait of low to no shed coat, which helps keep a tidy home.  She travels with us on car rides with no qualms, and is great with other people and animals.  

She has more than proven over the past 4 years to be a cherished member of our family.

Fluffy (3), the father, is a F1B Goldendoodle.  His mother is a Goldendoodle and his father is a Standard Poodle.  Fluffy's human family consists of two Glynn County Educators, John "JT" Bennett & his wife, Ingrid Bennett.  Fluffy also has a human sister named Isabella (10) who is his best friend.  Aside from his home family, Fluffy gets a lot of love and attention from the extended Bennett Family in Glynn County.

Sweetums' perfect pups were born on July 22, of 2022 and were a split of six boys and six girls.  Four of the puppies favored Sweetums' blonde coat while eight showcased Fluffy's black coat.  Sweetum's birthed all 12 here at home, between 6am & 8pm without much help from us - she was amazing!
