Meet the breeder

I'm Sandy A., the breeder behind Lila's Teddybear Goldendoodles located in Summerfield, NC. We raise our puppies in our home and do so with patience, love, and positive reinforcement. Goldendoodles are the sweetest and most affectionate dogs. They are great snugglers and love to be by your side. Our Goldendoodles are low-shedding dogs which are great for individuals with allergies. While no dog is entirely non-shedding, Goldendoodles shed less due to their coat types. Because of their coat type they do require more coat maintenance than some other dogs. Their hair grows continuously so regular groomings and haircuts are required to prevent them from becoming matted. They should be brushed at least 2 to 3 times a week and groomed every 2 to 3 months.

Q. & A. with Sandy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    When our children were young, we discovered that they had pet allergies. So when we added our next furry friend to our family, we adopted a standard Poodle because Poodles are hypoallergenic. Beau is goofy, fun, and energetic! Then we learned about Goldendoodles and how they are also hypoallergenic. We brought home our first Goldendoodle, Lila, in 2021. She is smart, affectionate, and athletic. She had her first litter in 2024, and we kept two of her puppies. Now, we are hooked on Goldendoodles!

  • What makes your program special?

    **We plan to place 2 females from the next litter into a guardian home within the Triad area of NC. These females will contribute to future generations of this wonderful breed of smart, healthy, well tempered Goldendoodles. Please ask me how being a guardian family will benefit you!** Parents are health and genetic tested. Puppies are raised in our home. Microchipped. CKC registration. Health guarantee. Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) exercises. Sound stimulation training. Early potty training with Little Wolves potty trays. Introduction to crates. Provide new experiences and puppy challenges with tunnels, toys, and uneven and multilevel surfaces. Introduction to water play.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are medium size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

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

    Our puppies include cream, apricot, red, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

    Working with Sandy was a joy! She loves and cares for her puppies in such a wonderful, intentional, and caring way. Through the whole process she was communicative, shared pictures and videos, and was incredibly responsive and accommodating. Our puppy is healthy, socialized, and a joy for our family. I highly recommend Sandy!

    Working with Sandy has been a wonderful experience from beginning to end. She kept us fully informed about Isla’s progress every step of the way and even welcomed us to visit her when Isla was just four weeks old. We were so impressed with the loving environment Sandy provided for the puppies. It was clear how much care and dedication she puts into raising them. By the time we visited, she had already begun potty training and introduced the puppies to a variety of enrichment activities to help them develop confidence and good habits. We brought Isla home yesterday at eight weeks old, and she has been an absolute joy! She already plays fetch, is eager to learn, and even lets us know when she needs to go potty. It’s amazing to see how much she has learned in such a short time. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and are so grateful to Sandy for giving Isla such an incredible start in life. We look forward to many happy years with Isla as part of our family. We highly recommend Sandy to anyone looking for a healthy, well-socialized, and well-loved Goldendoodle puppy.

    I found Sandy via a fellow baseball family that had adopted from a previous litter. They would bring him to games and I fell in love with him. If you’ve been considering adding a Goldendoodle to your family, I can’t recommend Sandy and her family highly enough. This was my very first experience working with a breeder—and my very first young puppy under 6 months. Every dog I’ve had before has been a rescue, and they’ve all held a special place in my heart. This time, I decided to work with a breeder because I was looking for the reassurance of knowing my puppy’s background and having confidence in how he was raised from the very beginning. From our very first conversation, Sandy was incredibly warm and accommodating. Her communication throughout the entire process was outstanding. Every question I had was answered promptly, and she made me feel comfortable and supported every step of the way. What impressed me most was how obvious it is that these puppies aren’t simply being bred—they are truly raised as part of her family until they find their forever homes. The love and care they receive is evident the moment you meet them. We brought home our sweet boy, Oliver (aka Gunner), and he has been an absolute doll. He’s adjusting beautifully, and I know Sandy helped make that transition easier. She sent him home with a thoughtful goodie bag that included a blanket with the scent of his mama and littermates, along with several other items he already loved. Those little touches meant so much and made his first days with us much more comfortable. This couldn’t have been a better first experience with a breeder. Sandy genuinely cares about her puppies and the families they join, and that shines through in everything she does. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to work with Sandy and her family again, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a healthy, well-socialized, and deeply loved Goldendoodle puppy. Thank you for giving us the perfect addition to our family—we couldn’t love Gunner more! ♥️🐾♥️🐾♥️

    Sandy was so great from day one! I could tell she really loved her dogs and took wonderful care of them. She went above and beyond to prepare her puppies for the world around them. Our Rosie came to us healthy, happy and confident. I love how one minute she can be a typical silly, excited puppy and the next minute she’s so chill and snuggly. Sandy shows the whole puppy experience on social media from day one so you can see all the things she’s doing with the pups as they grow. I loved that we felt like we were so involved even though our Rosie hadn’t come to us yet. It made us feel so happy and relaxed knowing that we were getting a dog from such a caring home. We have never experienced such transparency from any breeder and it was so refreshing. Sandy flew our baby girl to us and she made the whole process do easy and convenient. I can’t say enough great things about Sandy and her program. We will 100% be recommending her to anyone we know that’s looking for a doodle. My family and I so grateful we found our sweet Rosie and it’s all thanks to Sandy and Good Dog. 🥰
