I'm Makayla L., the breeder behind Lindsey Family Doodles located in Anchorage, AK. As a Breeder, we focus on breeding for quality, not quantity. It's our top priority to make sure that all our pups are bred for health, intelligence and of course their loving temperament. All our dogs are health tested and cleared before ever conceiving.
Q. & A. with Makayla
Why did you start breeding?
The talk had come up, and we decided to get another Golden doodle. Since the one we had was such a smart, small and well-behaved dog, we really only wanted to have a pup from him. That's when we got our little girl, Hope. She has been the best dog! That was when we decided that more people should have the option to adopt their perfect doodle too! Ultimately starting our breeding program.
What makes your program special?
From the moment the puppies are conceived, they are 100% loved! They are raised with my family and other dogs and go home being exposed to all the commotion and stimulation they need to start on their journeys with their own families!
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 include cream, apricot, red, chocolate, black, and phantom. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
