Q. & A. with Kristi

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I began breeding Labrador Retrievers and Labradoodles because they are very smart and easily trained puppies. They have high life expectance and make great best friends. Labrador and Labradoodle serve as excellent service dogs along with are great hunting companions. I enjoy taking care of the puppies and watching grow. Every day they learn or trained to something new.

  • What makes your program special?

    I make sure that all the proper testing performed to have perfect puppies is done prior to breeding my adult fur-babies. I stay in contact with my new puppy owners, enjoy watching them grow and always available to answer any questions. During puppy selection I have no issues with video or Facetime chatting. When you reserve your puppy, you will be sent pictures daily or weekly to watch them grow.

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

    Labrador Retriever puppies include black and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    We had a wonderful experience with Kristi. She put so much effort into our little pup. We knew right away that she had worked a lot with our lab before we picked him up. He was well potty trained, he knew how to sit for treats, climb stairs, and had a schedule. It has made the transition to our house so much easier. We can’t thank Kristi enough for our new family member that she cared for with love! ❤️

    Kristi was very kind. She made this experience incredibly easy and answered any and all of our questions. She was very transparent with her practice and made us feel so good about choosing her pups. Getting a pup can be a little intimidating, but she guided us through the steps and made us feel very comfortable. We are so grateful for her accommodations to help us get our dog. Though we are located out of state, Kristi made every effort to meet us so we could pick up the little man. We will absolutely be recommending her to any friends who inquire about getting a new doggo! We love our boy and wouldn’t trade him for the world! We are so grateful for Kristi and our new boy Goose.

    From the very beginning, Kristi was incredibly responsive and always happy to answer any questions we had. She sent us photos and updates as our puppy grew, which made the wait so much more exciting and gave us peace of mind knowing he was thriving. She even met us in Jacksonville for a small delivery fee, making the pickup process so easy and convenient. Our Labrador has truly been the perfect addition to our family. He has an amazing temperament, is healthy, smart, and has brought us so much joy. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a better dog!! We love our Baker!

    Kristi from Hollow Meadows has been an absolute pleasure to work with. I was skeptical to purchase a new puppy online from past experiences but she was great. She talked to me, FaceTimed my daughter and I with the Puppies. She provided updates and helpful insight. Our Black Lab is so beautiful and so healthy!!! Kristi was very kind and she continues to check on him to make sure he’s adjusting well to his new home. I would highly recommend!!

    We had the very best experience with Daylin’s Doodles and Labradors! After initial contact through GoodDog, we had a FaceTime call w/ Kristi and Daylin and our sweet pup. We could see from the first moments of our call that their program is excellent. The level of care these breeders provide is definitely 5 stars! We were provided with updates including pictures and videos and given reports on the progress of initial training. Thanks to the pellet training that Kristi begins them on, Chief has been home for 3 days now and has had no potty accidents. He is well adjusted and already bonded to his new family. Due to the incoming winter weather, we arranged to meet halfway for pickup. Kristi was very accommodating with arrangements. We are thankful for Chief’s very good start as he has already brought so much joy to us!
