Meet the breeder

I'm Holly M., the breeder behind Milk & Honey Doodles located in Russell Springs, KY. At the heart of our program is a commitment to raising puppies the right way never leaving health, temperament, or early development to chance. Our Mini Goldendoodles are thoughtfully bred, temperament-tested, and raised with a hands-on curriculum in our home.

Q. & A. with Holly

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Dogs have always been part of my life I was the kid bringing home every stray. After an unexpected litter, everything changed. I fell in love with the process, and it felt like a calling. That moment revealed a deeper purpose, and I’ve been all in ever since.
  • What makes your program special?

    Milk & Honey Doodles was built from a lifelong love for dogs and a passion for doing things the right way. We prioritize health, temperament, and structure, with fully health-tested parents and curriculum-based raising creating confident, well-rounded companions.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Bernedoodle puppies are mini size. Goldendoodle 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 Bernedoodle puppies are tri-color. Goldendoodle puppies include cream, apricot, red, chocolate, black, phantom, merle, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

    I really enjoyed speaking with Holly and was so impressed by how knowledgeable, caring, and dedicated she is. It was clear how much love and effort she puts into her dogs and the overall process. What stood out to me most was how seriously she takes health testing on the parents, which I truly value and appreciate. That level of responsibility and transparency gave me a lot of confidence and showed how committed she is to producing healthy, well-rounded puppies. Hunter is adorable and I’m so happy my family found him!

    Holly was so responsive and wonderful throughout this process. We brought Bentley (Stitch) home on Friday and he has settled in so quickly. The personality testing Holly had performed was spot on. He is the most gentle, snuggly lap dog with playful energy. We have had zero potty accidents. He has taken to the potty pads with zero issues and has also been successful with outdoor potty breaks. He doesn’t cry in his crate at all. Holly is very knowledgeable and raises the best puppies. When it’s time for us to bring another home I will not hesitate to reach out to Holly again.

    We had been looking for a dog that would be a good companion, small in stature, but had a desire to be around it's family. After stumbling upon Holly's (Milk & Honey Doodles) profile on Good Dog, we were smitten with her pups. From our first inquiries, to her helping us determine which pup would best meet our needs, to her working with us to get him to Nebraska safely, EVERYTHING met or exceeded our expectations. Great, clear communication and steady updates about how "Fred" was doing. Fred instantly bonded with us, is almost fully potty trained, plays fetch and sits before eating or getting a treat and we've had him for two weeks. He's such a smarty! We are so happy to have Fred in our family.

    Holly was fantastic throughout the entire process. She raises amazing puppies and keeps in contact the whole way. Provides plenty of pictures and videos to help fill those anxious times while you wait for them to be ready to come home. Moxi formally Mittens has been home 6 days now and instantly adjusted. Potty and crate training has been super easy. Moxi loves to snuggle and has a very fun personality. She fits in so well with our family and had no issues meeting and being around a Great Dane. Holly's puppies are very confident, loving, and playful addition to any household!

    Holly is incredibly kind and caring. She is a great puppy caretaker and seems to pour her heart into it. We were thrilled to meet Charlie (previously Twill), and he is the such an adorably sweet puppy. He’s only been home for a few days and he’s doing great on his potty and crate training. Holly obviously laid a great foundation in the first 8 weeks. She is also happy to answer my many puppy questions, and we’re grateful to have her as a resource. We would highly recommend Holly if you’re looking for a wonderful Goldendoodle!
