Lena’s “Christmas Cookies”
Meet the breeder
I'm Esther F., the breeder behind Lena’s “Christmas Cookies” located in De Bary, FL. Both parents of our puppies were raised in family homes and farms. They were fed high quality food with an assortment of outdoor experiences. We strive to give our puppies the same opportunities to healthy bodies, stimulating brain activities, training and an assortment of toys and surfaces to play with and on. We spend hours each day loving on all of our puppies and getting to know their personalities.
Q. & A. with Esther
Why did you start breeding?
We stumbled into breeding because our female dog is well tempered, super soft, and absolutely amazing with children. I also have a close friend with a very similar male dog. He is buttery soft, easy to train and loves children so we decided to breed them and see what happens. At the 8 week check up our Vet raved about the health and happiness of our puppies so we decided to try it again.What makes your program special?
The testimonies from the owners of our first litter are very positive. Each of our puppies went to loving homes and most of them have children. Our puppies are gentle, caring and protective. They offer a high level of emotional support and love. We believe the Goldendoodle is specially designed for families.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, apricot, chocolate, black, and merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Program update on 15 Dec 2025 •…Leash “training” at its finest. We love our pups so much! Get one before they are all gone. Only 2 sweet boys left. Oreo is a sweet, bouncy little teddy bear and Churro is a playful, happy and calm companion. Both would make great family pets.
