One litter at a time, and every puppy spoken for by name.
We don’t keep a kennel full of dogs. We keep our dogs, and when Sparkle has puppies we raise them the way we’d want our own raised. Here’s what’s coming and how to get one.
Six girls and three boys, named by collar colour for now.

A short application. We’re not picky about square footage — we’re picky about time, patience and a plan.
Weekly pictures & your pick
Photos every week. Once personalities show, we walk through them together and you choose in waitlist order.
Go-home day
Usually eight weeks, up to date on shots and deworming. We’ll make a pickup plan that works for your family.
No deposit. Just the first pictures.
Families on the list get photos every week and pick in the order they signed up. If the timing turns out wrong for you, tell us and we’ll move you to the next litter — no hard feelings.

From the very beginning, our breeder was wonderful about sending us pictures and videos, which made the excitement of waiting to bring Navy home even more special.
One thing we really appreciated was that Navy had been socialized around children and other animals before coming home. We truly believe this made a huge difference in how easily she adjusted to our family. She has been wonderful with our kids, gets along great with our other dog, and does so well riding in the car and experiencing new things.
Navy is such a happy, loving, energetic, and smart dog! She was easy to train, loves being around people, and has been amazing about staying close to us, even off leash. She loves to cuddle just as much as she loves to play, and she always wants to be wherever our family is.
It’s clear that the care and early socialization she received made a real difference in helping her become such a well-adjusted, confident, and loving puppy. We are so grateful we chose this breeder and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a wonderful addition to their family. Navy has brought so much joy to our home, and we couldn’t imagine a better dog!”
Ask us anything. These come up a lot.
Anything else: puppies@ranchq.com. Kindra answers, usually the same day unless we’re at a rodeo.
How far is Annabella? Do people drive in?
All the time. Annabella is in Sevier County, central Utah, just south of Richfield. It’s about 1¾ hours from Cedar City, 2 from Provo and Orem, 2½ from Salt Lake City and under 3 from St. George, and our puppy families come from all of them. Pick-up is here at the ranch, or we’ll meet partway on a rodeo weekend.
Do you ship puppies?
We work it out with every family. We’ll talk it through and make the plan that fits you and your puppy best.
How big will they get?
Sparkle is 60 lb and Romeo is 30 lb, and their pups average 35–55 lb full grown. Size and colour aren’t guaranteed — every litter has a runt and a bruiser.
Can a puppy come home before 8 weeks?
Eight weeks is typical. Some families choose to pick up between six and seven weeks — by then our puppies are well socialized and usually weaned onto solid food.
Do they shed?
Some. First-generation doodles from a Golden Retriever mom have wavy, low-to-moderate shedding coats. If you need truly non-shedding, ask us before you join the list — we’d rather tell you the truth than sell you a puppy.
Can we visit?
Ask us — we’re happy to set up a visit once the pups are old enough. Bring boots.
