I'm Kaitlin S., the breeder behind Libby Lou’s Goldendoodles located in Freeland, MI. We strive to provide the perfect size, look, and temperament in a Goldendoodle! The families who have purchased from our previous litters all love their Goldendoodles from Libby! We love seeing them create memories with their puppies that we put our full energy and care into raising.
Q. & A. with Kaitlin
Why did you start breeding?
Although the Goldendoodle breed has been around for a while, we quickly realized how good of a dog Libby was as she was approaching a year old. Her coat is the ideal doodle coat- you can still brush her weekly without worrying about the tight curls that are sometimes shown in Doodles.
What makes your program special?
We don’t breed our female consistently - she’s had 2 litters, and just had her 3rd and final litter. We devote our full attention and energy to caring for her as well as all of the puppies. We focus on setting our puppies up for success from the day they are born - they are raised right in our home and we work with them every day!
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include miniature and medium sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are apricot. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
