+6I had a wonderful experience with Kayla and Lakeside Doodles. Because I already had Fergus, my 12-year-old senior dog, it was especially important to find a puppy with a calmer, easygoing temperament. Kayla took the time to understand our situation and get to know the puppies’ individual personalities, and she helped me feel confident that Wally was the right match for our family. I also loved that this isn’t a large commercial breeding operation—Wally and his littermates were raised right in Kayla’s home as part of her family, surrounded by people, children and everyday household life. Kayla kept me updated with pictures and information throughout the process, patiently answered all my questions, and truly cared about placing each puppy in the right home. Wally is a happy, confident little character, and I’m so grateful that Kayla helped bring him into our lives!

We are so greatful that Good Dog helped us find Kayla! She was such a pleasure to deal with. Her response time was amazing, was always sending us updates and pictures of our puppy. She helped work with him and got him used to a carrier for the airplane, which helped tremendously! We really wanted to find a breeder with kids, so we know they were played with and being handled. I feel it’s very important and will definitely make a happier, more adaptable puppy. And that it did, Moose (Rivers) has been an easy wonderful puppy. Thank you Kayla!

+6Kayla of Lakeside Doodles is absolutely wonderful to work with. So much to the fact that our family hadn’t been in an urgent rush to find a puppy, but once coming across Kayla’s profile on Good Dog, the rest was history. At a quick glance, it was very obvious that Kayla is more than a puppy breeder. Her animals are well-trained in her beautiful country home, and the puppies are well taken care of by herself, with the love and support of the other members of her wonderful family. My experience with Kayla was nothing short of fabulous from start to finish. Transparency and effective communication is so important when choosing the next addition to your family. Information was provided and laid out in a clear and concise timely manner. Upon pick up of our new puppy, Annabel, we felt very satisfied and 100% confident with our decision. We knew instantly that Annabel was the missing piece to our family puzzle. I look forward to sharing more about our journey. While it has only been a short time that we’ve had Annabel, we are looking forward to so many memories ahead. I highly recommend Kayla of Lakeside Doodles if you are looking to add a puppy to your family. Do your research, and reach out to Kayla. Spend some time looking at all she has to offer, through her photos - you will not be disappointed 🥰
