I'm Carrie L., the breeder behind Doodle All Day located in Lapeer, MI. I live on my family’s 100-acre, 6th generation centennial farm. I have been breeding Goldendoodles since 2004. Health testing my dogs is of the utmost importance to me because I know what it is like to see a dog suffer from hip dysplasia. I realize that you cannot avoid every health issue but you can minimize them by beginning with healthy parents.
Q. & A. with Carrie
Why did you start breeding?
I was raised on a farm. I loved all the animals but I sending them off was so hard knowing where they were going. When I send my puppies off, I know that they are off to live loving and adventurous lives.
What makes your program special?
I have been breeding Goldendoodles for over 15 years. I pride myself on the good health and temperaments of my dogs. I keep my breeding program small and personable. Many of my puppy families stay in touch with me long after they take their puppy home.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are medium size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
