Meet the breeder

I'm David L., the breeder behind RecklessLove Kennels located in North Carolina. Each of our dogs has brought so much happiness to us throughout their lives. We want to do our part to produce wonderful, healthy dogs that can bring other people joy as well, and we strive to provide each of our puppies with loving homes where they can live happy lives.

Q. & A. with David

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We first got into breeding Egyptian Arabian horses in New Mexico and our love for animals grew from there. We now specialize in well-tempered, loving doodles and aussies as well as breeding our livestock animals on our working farm.
  • What makes your program special?

    We take the best aspects that we agree with from all breeding programs. We are responsible and loving breeders that have a few litters each year to provide to loving homes. We raise our puppies in a loving home environment, where they are well adjusted to homelife so they are ready for you when you bring them into your family. We are excited for you in your search for a loving companion!
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include red merle, blue merle, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
