I'm Karli S., the breeder behind Soule Buddies located in Lufkin, TX. Our dogs are more than a business, they are family. Our love for dogs is reflected in the personal touch we put into making sure the addition of a new family member is a truly joyful experience. We are very careful with our puppies in order to ensure they are well taken care of before and after finding their forever homes.
Q. & A. with Karli
Why did you start breeding?
We have friends that have coached us in creating a healthy dog business. We love our Goldendoodles so much, that we figured we could share that love with others.
What makes your program special?
All of our breeding dogs are family dogs. They are well-fed, and the dam's well-being is always our top priority. Our program focuses on temperament, intelligence, and the overall health of our puppies. Our application process is simple, and it would be our pleasure to introduce your family to your next Goldendoodle!
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
