Meet the breeder
I'm Athena R., the breeder behind Doodle Lovin located in Sarasota, FL. We love to responsibly raise and train our puppies so they have the tools to be well-rounded, beloved family members. Our mommas and daddy are part of our family and we love them so much! As the pups grow, we get to love them just as much! We are looking for families and individuals that will provide our puppies with the same level of love and care.
Q. & A. with Athena
Why did you start breeding?
I was a special education teacher and liaison for 22 years with a dream of becoming a breeder someday. With the support of my wonderful husband, the right timing and circumstances, and an amazing mentor with years of breeding experience it all became a dream come true, right in my own home! We made the decision to add Stud Muffin (Peanut) to the family and Doodle Lovin became what it is today!What makes your program special?
My customers love the open door policy at our home. We encourage visits from early on to build relationships not only with the puppies (safely and with healthy precautions), but also getting to know the breeder and the parents as well. This continues long after the puppies go home. Open communication is key! We love to keep in touch with puppy families and watch them grow!What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Goldendoodle puppies include petite, miniature, and medium sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Goldendoodle puppies include cream, apricot, red, merle, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
