Q. & A. with Mailee

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I got into breeding two years ago, while working behind the scene of another great breeding program. After that I decided that I wanted to help families find their forever best friends, that are healthy, good temperamental.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include dark golden and golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Matched dogs

These dogs are already reserved or have gone home.

Getting a puppy from Mailee

Mailee has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Mailee partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 7 weeks old.

“By the 7 week mark we know a little about each puppy we watch them and care for them daily. And memorize by the puppy collar the one that is most confident or timid and etc we also use the Volhard method to determine the most social pup and etc once buyers come to pick day we tell a little about each puppy during the pick visit and give them toys and time to see each one’s interaction personally ”
