Meet the breeder

I'm Lia L., the breeder behind CharLia's Holistic English Cream Golden Retrievers & Doodles located in Arbovale, WV. Home raised & loved-NOT raised in a confining kennel- mentally & physically resilient, trained & housebroken puppies. International champion English Cream Golden lines offer superior genetics & temperament. The Puppy Culture Training Program catapults each puppy off to a superior start.

Q. & A. with Lia

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I was fortunate to own/show/breed the daughter of a Westminster Dog Show Champion. Breeding came naturally. Both of my English Creams' grandsires are International Champions. Genetically, breeding Doodles makes sense, both health & temperament-wise. They are fabulous dogs!

  • What makes your program special?

    Puppies enjoy anti-cancer/anti-allergy healthcare & environment, biologically appropriate raw food diet, enhancing nutrients -providing you with a resiliently healthy puppy. The Puppy Culture Training Program incorporates a superior start encompassing the 5 basic commands, leash training, grooming, housebreaking & socialization - making for exceptional health & intelligence.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

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

    Our puppies include cream and apricot. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    We drove in to meet with Lia from PA…and the trip was so worth it. We were able to meet our puppy & his Momma, and some of his siblings. Lia is a caring, learned, and amazing breeder. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog that is friendly, intelligent, loving, and adorably sweet. He loves meeting new people & does really well with other dogs. We love him!
