I'm Wendy M., the breeder behind Chickadee Labradoodles located in Polk County, NC. We're a small, family-run business. We adore Labradoodles and specialize in raising healthy, allergy-friendly pups of all sizes and personalities. Our dogs are hand-raised in our home and always by our side. We are so excited to share the love and companionship of a Doodle with other forever homes - it is so fulfilling!
Q. & A. with Wendy
Why did you start breeding?
We bought and fell in love with Willow, our standard labradoodle, and that did it for us! Labradoodles are just the sweetest, funniest, and loyal dogs. That is when we decided to start a small business to share the happiness Willow brought to us:)
What makes your program special?
We are small and will remain small. We are dedicated to giving our 3 dogs a full and active life. They are never kenneled and live with us in our home...always.
We take them hiking, kayaking and shopping. They are our beloved family.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include miniature, medium, and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include caramel ice, caramel cream, caramel red, red, apricot, cream, chocolate, cafe, lavendar, black, and tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
