Getting a puppy from Katelyn
Katelyn has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.
Katelyn partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 7 weeks old.
“With a background in rescue before we began breeding, puppy allocations are something we take very seriously because we've seen what happens when families adopt puppies whose temperaments are not suited for their lifestyle. Ultimately we choose which puppy goes to which family, based on the temperament evaluations conducted by our trainer and everything we've learned about them by spending 8 weeks with them. We ask you which puppies in the litter you prefer and that does factor into our decision, but ultimately we know our puppies best and we will not place them in a home they are not suited for.”
Price
“The price includes a two-year health guarantee, 1-month of free pet insurance, age-appropriate vaccinations, microchip, a food starter kit, puppy care & training information, and a lifetime of support. Deposits are non-refundable, but are transferrable to another litter or puppy.”

Dove, mom
Australian Labradoodle
About Dove
Dove may quite honestly be the happiest dog on the planet. While many people say they have a happy dog, Dove takes it to another level-- joy is simply her default setting. She approaches everything with pure happiness-- whether she's learning something new, off on some adventure, or proudly showing off a toy or "treasure" she's found. She inherited her mama Tootsie's silly personality, and has been the "class clown" since she was a tiny puppy. Even as a baby we noticed how funny and expressive she was. When Dove gets excited-- or especially proud of herself-- she doesn't just wag her tail, she wiggles her whole body and stomps around in celebration. Dove is incredibly smart and food motivated, which makes her easy and fun to train. She's curious, loves to explore, and is always eager to see what adventure (or snack) comes next. Despite her playful spirit, she is also VERY snuggly and floppy. When you pick her up, she melts into your arms totally relaxed, and she loves nothing more than to snuggle up with her people. We love everything about Dove, and can't wait to see her pass her joyful spirit on to her puppies some day!

About Rylee
Our sweet Rylee! Rylee is the happiest dog on the planet. She is up for anything and her tail does not stop wagging from the moment she wakes up until the moment she goes to bed. She’s very smart and learns new things quickly, and also loves to snuggle and play with other dogs and children. Rylee’s love language is food… she loves absolutely anything food-related! She absolutely loves to be outside and monitors her yard very closely, especially for squirrels. We can’t wait to see what happy, perfect little puppies Rylee produces.

Australian Labradoodle
About Tootsie
Tootsie is as sweet as her name implies and really embodies what the Australian Labradoodle breed is all about. She loves to play, and absolutely loves to snuggle as well. When she is outside she runs like the wind and contorts her body in excitement as she jumps through the air. Don’t be fooled into thinking she’s an energizer bunny, though, because she is a total couch potato too and is happy to spend all day on the couch watching TV. She does everything with a hilarious, goofy enthusiasm that is totally endearing, and she is so beyond loving and devoted to her people as well. Tootsie doesn’t have a mean bone in her body and will surely pass along her sweet, silly demeanor to her puppies as well!
