I'm Donna B., the breeder behind Cavapoo Love Bugs located in Ridgeville, SC. We’re the Bair’s—Donna, Bryan, and our daughter Ashlei. Life In South Carolina’s Lowcountry, life is slower—perfect for porch sitting and puppy snuggling. Each pup is raised in our home and treated like family. When our puppies head to their forever homes, they’re well-socialized and full of heart.
Q. & A. with Donna
Why did you start breeding?
We started breeding to help fund our daughter Ashlei’s cosmetology school tuition. With a lifelong love of animals, raising Cavapoos felt natural for our nurturing family. What began as a way to support her dreams has grown into a passion for placing well-socialized puppies in loving homes—and, if successful, we may continue to enhance our retirement.
What makes your program special?
Our Cavapoo Love Bugs are raised in our home—not a kennel—with daily cuddles, socialization, and family interaction. Each puppy is nurtured by Donna, Bryan, and Ashlei, making them confident, loving companions. We focus on temperament, early training, and lifelong connection—because these pups aren’t just pets, they’re family.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red and blenheim. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Donna was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond to help us, even while she was on vacation, which meant so much to us. The pickup process was smooth and easy, and our sweet Koda came home happy, healthy, and full of love. He’s incredibly smart, cuddly, and has already brought so much joy into our home.

Donna was wonderful helping us pick a cavapoo puppy. She made herself available very quickly and answered all of our questions. Then she drove over two hours to meet us half way to pick her up. I know our puppy was cared for well in her home. Good Dog was easy to use to help us find the right puppy for us.
