Puppy Culture &
Badass breeders
​At Kentucky Gold Mini Doodles, our commitment to raising exceptional puppies goes far beyond providing food, shelter, and love. We are proud to blend two of the most respected puppy-raising programs in the world—Puppy Culture and the Badass Breeder Curriculum (BAB)—to give your puppy a head start in life emotionally, socially, and physically. By combining the structured developmental guidance of Puppy Culture with the intentional emotional resilience training of BAB, we raise confident, adaptable, intelligent puppies ready for whatever life brings—whether they’re destined to be loving family pets, therapy dogs, or emotional support companions.
Puppy aptituide Test
The Volhard Puppy Aptitude Test (PAT) is a standardized evaluation designed to assess a puppy’s temperament and predict its future behavior. The test helps breeders select the most suitable puppy for a given home, lifestyle, or working role. It is particularly useful in matching puppies with families, emotional support needs, therapy work, and service roles. The test is typically conducted when the puppies are around 7 weeks old, as this is considered an ideal developmental stage where their personality traits are emerging but not yet heavily influenced by environment or training. For best results, the Volhard test should be used alongside long-term observation of the litter, rather than as the sole determinant of placement decisions.
Kentucky Gold Mini Doodles has daily interaction with the puppies since they are raised in our home, thus giving us an abundance of observation of every puppy from birth till they go to their forever home.
