Meet the breeder

I'm Linda K., the breeder behind Pawpaws Doodles located in Calvert City, KY. We raise all our puppies in our home. We strive to raise quality puppies that are well socialized with other dogs, cats, and our many many grandchildren. Our goal is to produce puppies that make wonderful companions, so we breed with a focus on health and temperament above all. We want all of our pups to live long and happy lives with their forever families!

Q. & A. with Linda

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We fell in love with the Labradoodle breed. Our dogs have proven to be incredible, loving companions, and we wanted to share that experience with others by producing healthy, happy puppies. It is our hope to produce quality dogs capable of working as therapy dogs.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our puppies are raised with love in our home, and we strive to help each one grow up with confidence so they are ready to leave with their new families. They are affectionate, intelligent, and cute as can be!

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Labradoodle puppies include medium and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Labradoodle puppies include caramel, red, apricot, cream, chocolate, black, and tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Linda really made the whole puppy buying/adopting process a breeze. She kept us informed throughout with pictures, videos and vet reports. We have had Max for almost a month now and we couldn’t be happier with our new puppy. We bought Max as a companion for our 6YO female labradoodle and he is the perfect little brother. He has adapted well in our family. I would highly recommend one of Linda’s exceptional labradoodles - they are smart, simply adorable and the perfect size.

    Hi Linda! Leif is doing really, really well and is growing like a weed! He's already about 25 lbs. He had his 2 vet visit and is doing great. He's super sweet, loves to play and does have a great disposition. Gary said that Leif is the best gift he's ever received! Thanks so much for giving us this great addition to our family. :)

    We had an excellent experience with Paw Paws from start to finish. Linda’s communication was outstanding—she kept us updated every step of the way and sent weekly pictures and updates, which made it so special to watch our puppy grow before bringing him home. The entire process was smooth and stress-free, from payment to pickup. We also received all the proper paperwork needed to bring our puppy across the border, which made things incredibly easy. Most importantly, our puppy arrived healthy, well cared for, and already showing great early training. It was clear he had been raised with attention and care. We would highly recommend this breeder to anyone looking for a positive, professional, and trustworthy experience.
