Here’s Molly, our Sheepadoodle!

Molly is our Anxiety Sheepadoodle - By this we mean that she is a Sheepadoodle with loads of anxiety. We have not yet perfected the art of hypnotizing our furry friends but once we do, she can expect to be more in control and better able to enjoy the peace and tranquility of controlling her emotions instead of being controlled by her emotions.

We are Proud to be Certified
