I'm Kendra C., the breeder behind Crazy Cute Kennels located in Miles, IA. My husband and I got hooked on Goldendoodles by friends who have them and couldn't quit talking about how wonderful they are. They were right. Our dogs live in our home right alongside us. Their puppies get socialized and are used to "house living" right from the start. We are a small hobby breeder who wants other people to enjoy Goldendoodles as much as we do!
Q. & A. with Kendra
Why did you start breeding?
We got into breeding Labrador Retrievers as my family are big hunters and just enjoy the breed. We have one litter a year and placing them with great families has always been a joy.
What makes your program special?
Our program is special because of the way we treat our dogs. They are truly a part of our family and treated as such. We go the extra mile for them all!
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.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
