Meet the breeder

I'm Kristin Z., the breeder behind KZ Doodles located in Melba, ID. We have been raising puppies over eight years. We pride ourselves on having the best parents, healthy genetics and temperaments. Starting when our puppies are three days old we start with a variety of socialization exercises to build a strong foundation so they are read for the world.

Q. & A. with Kristin

  • Why did you start breeding?

    After living in Utah, I later moved with my husband and children to Melba, ID when an opportunity to farm became available. Together with my family we decided we wanted to provide the opportunity for families to purchase a HEALTHY, WELL ADJUSTED, SOCIALIZED, ALLERGY FRIENDLY, LOVING Goldendoodle puppy, that come with the support families and puppies both need. We are so blessed! Thank you!
  • What makes your program special?

    Our job doesn't start when your puppy is born and it doesn't stop at eight weeks. We have dedicated so many years into building a strong foundation of healthy, loving parent dogs with amazing temperaments. We don't have litters by accident, we calculate every purchase, every pairing, every birth. Every day we are socializing, and loving your puppy. We offer a lifetime of support for you both.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies include petite, miniature, and medium sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Kristin partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 6 weeks old.

"We make it a priority to help each family match with the puppy that fits their lifestyle and needs. Matching begins at six weeks of age when we are able to access personalities, temperaments, and coat traits."

    Verified owner · Jan. 2026

    My experience with KZ Doodles was amazing, Kristin helped me and guided me all the way through (this is my first puppy). My puppy arrived happy, very healthy and well socialized. A nanny brought him to me from Idaho all the way to Michigan and he had with him his toy, plates, a blanket and some other really cute things to get him started. I so much appreciated all the experience and care Kristin put in my puppy. My puppy is super happy and already adjusting pretty well, thanks so much, Kristin!
