Meet the breeder

I'm Kellie L., the breeder behind Lee Family Puppies located in Tennessee. All of our dogs are loved as family members. We cherish our puppies from birth up until they leave our arms to snuggle into yours! Each of our dogs has brought so much happiness to us throughout their lives. We want to do our part to produce wonderful, healthy dogs that can bring other people joy as well, and we strive to provide each of our puppies with loving homes where they can live happy lives!

Q. & A. with Kellie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I've had golden retrievers since 2001 and goldendoodles since 2008. In addition to my early days working for a veterinarian, I also mentored under an exceptional breeder of goldens who taught me health clearances and good temperments are the foundation of a breeding program. I applied these principles to my crossbred program utilizing OFA health testing, proven bloodlines, & genetic screening.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our program focuses on quality over quantity. We are currently producing our 5th generation from the same OFA and genetic health tested bloodlines! Each litter is raised with a puppy education curriculum we have utilized over 20+ years with the help of our veterinarian and professional trainer. Our program gives each puppy the same head start, no matter if it is a Service Dog candidate or a pet!

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Aussiedoodle puppies include toy and mini sizes. Goldendoodle puppies include petite, miniature, and medium sizes. Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

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

    Our Aussiedoodle puppies include apricot, blue merle, black and white, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Goldendoodle puppies include apricot, red, and parti. Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include blue merle, black tri, red tri, and red merle. Miniature American Shepherd puppies include red tri-color, black tri, red merle, and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

    Kellie was very helpful and informative during our process. She was quick to answer questions and keep me informed on Maggie’s growth while we were waiting for the big day! The day we picked Maggie up, Kellie was very welcoming and generous with her time. Her facilities are very clean and welcoming. You can really tell she loves her babies. Since getting Maggie home, Kellie has checked in the make sure everyone was accommodating well to the new changes. Maggie is such a joy to our whole family and I’m so pleased with my choice to go with Lee Family Puppies! I will be recommending her to anyone interested!
