Our Little Castle of Labradoodles
Meet the breeder
I'm Kristine B., the breeder behind Our Little Castle of Labradoodles located in Saginaw, MI. We are a family of dog lovers that have a small breeding program. I have been breeding Labradoodles for 14 years. Our dogs are our pets, first and foremost. They live inside our home, never outside in a kennel. As a small breeder, we only have one litter of puppies at a time. By doing this we can spend time with each puppy and give them the best start in life. Our female is CKC registered, OFA certified, and is genetically tested by Pawprint Genetic's.
