Meet the breeder
I'm Melissa A., the breeder behind Little Golden Farm located in Lehigh Acres, FL. I raise my puppies in my home with tons of love, attention, and care. They’re super social, healthy, and used to family life, so they’re ready to fit right into yours and bring so much joy from day one.
Q. & A. with Melissa
Why did you start breeding?
Growing up, I helped my mom raise Poodles, and it was the best part of my childhood. It taught me how deeply animals can impact our lives. Now we work side by side, raising Doodles in our home, combining love, experience, and intention to bring families healthy, social, happy puppies who feel like family from day one.What makes your program special?
We raise our puppies in a hands-on, loving home using proven methods like early neurological stimulation, daily socialization, and structured exposure. All our parent dogs are health-tested, and each puppy receives individual care. We offer lifetime support and guidance because you're not just getting a puppy, you're gaining a family.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Aussiedoodle puppies include toy and mini sizes. Bernedoodle puppies include mini and medium sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Aussiedoodle puppies include blue merle, red merle, black phantom, black and white, black tri-color, red phantom, and red tri-color. Bernedoodle puppies include brown, red, tri-color, phantom, blue merle, and merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

Penny, mom
Bernedoodle
About Penny
Penny – Our Gentle Soul Penny is the definition of a sweetheart. With her soft eyes and calm nature, she’s the kind of girl who melts into your lap and stays there for hours. A bit on the shy side with new people, she thrives in a cozy home environment and builds deep, lasting bonds with her family. Penny’s love language is cuddles she’ll gently nuzzle into your side during movie nights and is always happiest when she’s near her people. She enjoys playful moments, especially with her sister Indigo, and she absolutely loves trail walks where she can take in the scents of the world at her own peaceful pace. Penny brings a gentle, loyal, and emotionally intuitive temperament to her puppies, making them perfect companions for families seeking a calm and loving best friend.
