Meet the breeder

I'm JD L., the breeder behind Loving Doodles located in Frederick, MD. Our mission is to raise healthy, happy mini G’doodle pups and connect them with loving families! We ensure our pups get the best start, to include selecting healthy parents with good temperaments, and proper socialization. We provide our pups and their families with a truly positive experience!

Q. & A. with JD

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Life long canine enthusiasts, we were enthralled by the mini Goldendoodle combination of poodle smarts with golden retriever friendliness. We want to provide families with loving, adaptable dogs who travel easily and whose size is acceptable at many establishments (hotels, beach rentals). Our exceptional mini goldendoodles inspired us to share our good fortune with other families seeking the same.

  • What makes your program special?

    Experienced breeder with strong knowledge of dog genetics and socialization requirements. Our dogs are regularly vet checked and have been tested for the full Goldendoodle DNA panel of diseases, including GRPRA1, GRPRA2, ICH, DM, and PRA-prcd. Our pups are raised in our home with their mothers, and not banished to concrete cells in external buildings, as often is the case with larger operations.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies include petite and miniature 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, black, merle, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Bringing a puppy into a home with a busy 3-year-old can feel a little overwhelming, but our experience with JD from Loving Doodles made the entire process so easy and enjoyable. From our first conversation, it was clear how much they love and care for their dogs. They were always available to answer questions, provide updates, and help us feel prepared for bringing our puppy home. It has been a long time since I last raised a puppy and they provided an incredible amount of detail and suggestions in a welcome email that helped me make informed decisions about how to prepare for Luna. It is Day 1 and Luna has exceeded every expectation. She arrived healthy, well-socialized, and with such a sweet, gentle temperament. One of the things we were most concerned about was how he would interact with our young son, and we couldn't have asked for a better match. The two of them have become the best of friends already. We look forward to watching our son grow in confidence, responsibility, and compassion through his bond with Luna. It's obvious that JD puts tremendous care and dedication into raising their puppies. The foundation they provided has made all the difference. We are beyond grateful for this wonderful addition to our family and highly recommend JD and Loving Doodles to anyone looking for a healthy, happy, and well-adjusted Golden Doodle. Thank you for helping us find the perfect companion for our family!

    Had a thoroughly enjoyable first pup experience with JD/Loving Doodles. Answered all of our questions before, during, and after we picked up our doodle. Made us, as first-time dog owners, at ease, providing us a wealth of resources to set us up for success. Thank you!!

    We would highly recommend Loving Doodles. JD was amazing throughout this whole process. We recently lost one of our dogs after 9 years and saw it was hard for our Bernedoodle to be without a companion so we began the search. We came across Loving Doodles' profile and reached out to find out more. JD was very responsive and paitient with us knowing what we were going through. When we finally made our decision to move forward, JD was incredible with helping us plan the next steps. He shared photo updates, new puppy information and worked with us on the best place to meet for the pick up. Cosmo has been with us for a week now and we can see right away that he came from a loving and caring environment. He is the most happy, playful, well tempered puppy. He is fitting right in to our family and we could not be happier. If we ever want to expand the family JD will be the first one we contact.

    JD and his family were a pleasure to work with. They were very knowledgeable about the breed and ready with suggestions and practical information to help Asher’s transition to our family as smooth as possible. I appreciate too the updates and photos provided in the weeks leading up to our pick up date. Asher has a clean bill of health from our vet and has been very well taken care of. Thank you Loving Doodles!

    We couldn't be any happier with our doodle Sisters. They love each other as much as they love us. These two sisters are always up to trouble and so intelligent. Working with Karen and JD has been a great experience. They are very helpful and responsive from the moment you first contact them and even after you've picked up the pups. You can tell they really care about all of their pups!

    I could not have had a better experience working with JD and Loving Doodles. Communication has been top tier even after having my new pup for just over a week and still to this day a month later! I am extremely happy and blessed to be able to find this group of people who not only love the dogs but prepare first time dog owners like myself. Gus and I are soulmates and he has changed my life in so many ways. I cannot thank you guys more enough. Please enjoy these pictures of my happy boy😊
