Meet the breeder

I'm Katie K., the breeder behind Kruger Doodles located in Brooksville, FL. Our puppies begin Early Neurological Stimulations at birth, are introduced to bathing and grooming at four weeks of age, and begin schedule feeding and outdoor potty training at five weeks of age. I assist future families before, during, and after transitioning their pup from my home to theirs.

Q. & A. with Katie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My mother bred AKC Golden Retrievers when I was a child. I helped raise and train our puppies, and loved everything about caring for our dogs. I took over from my mother in 2016 and have raised dogs with our family since.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our parent dogs are our personal pets and raised with our children. This way I know health history, sizing, and personality traits that will follow through to your puppy. I begin Early Neurological Stimulations at birth, introduce professional bathing and grooming at four weeks of age, schedule feed and outdoor potty train at five weeks, start crate training at six weeks, and vet at eight weeks.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Bernedoodle puppies include mini and medium sizes. Goldendoodle puppies include petite and miniature sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

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

    Our Havapoo puppies include silver, cream, chocolate sable, black and tan, black and silver, black, and apricot. Bernedoodle puppies include red, black and white, tri-color, and phantom. Goldendoodle puppies include cream, apricot, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    We had a fantastic experience with Katie. Communication was quick and clear, and she guided us through every step with care and professionalism. Luna is an absolute joy — healthy, confident, and clearly raised with lots of love. We’d 100% work with Katie again and recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful puppy.
