Meet the breeder

I'm Kimberly L., the breeder behind RVA DOODLES, LLC located in Midlothian, VA. Hi, I'm Kim the owner of RVA Doodles, a small family-run breeding program in Richmond, VA. With a lifelong love of dogs and years of experience raising Goldendoodles, I focus on health, temperament, and early socialization. All of our puppies are raised in our home, not in kennels, and are introduced to crate training, potty training, and enrichment from the start. My goal is to provide families with well-adjusted, loving companions while always putting quality over quantity.

Q. & A. with Kimberly

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My journey into breeding began with a deep love for dogs and a desire to provide families with healthy, well-socialized companions. After falling in love with the Goldendoodle breed, I dedicated myself to learning genetics, health testing, and best practices in early puppy development. I started small, with one carefully chosen female, and built RVA Doodles with the belief that quality matters more than quantity. I previously bred Pomeranians many years ago.
  • What makes your program special?

    RVA Doodles is guided by the motto “Quality over Quantity.” We raise one litter at a time inside our living room, ensuring each puppy receives individual attention, early neurological stimulation, socialization, and enrichment from the very start. Our puppies are introduced to crate training, potty training, car rides, grooming, and daily household life so they transition smoothly into their forever homes. Every parent dog is health-tested, and we are passionate about breeding for temperament, structure, and rich coat colors. Families who adopt from us become part of our extended RVA Doodles family, and we’re committed to supporting them for the lifetime of their dog.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies include petite and medium sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include cream, apricot, red, chocolate, black, phantom, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.
