I'm Carol D., the breeder behind Southern Charm Labradoodles located in Loganville, GA. I focus on temperament and Conformation. We breed healthy, happy therapy, service pets, and allergy-friendly companions! I provide my puppies with a safe, clean, and enriching environment where they can grow and learn about the world until they are ready to venture out and experience life with their forever families!
Q. & A. with Carol
Why did you start breeding?
A friend of mine approached me one day while we were walking our dogs at the park. She had her black poodle with her, and I had my English lab female Jade. She proposed a mating of the two dogs and told me about Labradoodles. The union of these two dogs yielded my beloved Ace. His personality, love, and utter loyalty, stole our hearts, and I've had a doodle obsession since that time.
What makes your program special?
My love for the breed, the education, and the follow-up I give families for the life of their dog. I have live cams on my litters. Families can view births and the litters raised at my home. I have all of my litters temperament tested by a professional trainer to ensure the best fit for each family temperament-wise. I am passionate about what I do, and I can't wait to connect with you!
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include miniature, medium, and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include caramel cream, caramel, caramel red, red, apricot, cream, chocolate, lavendar, black, and tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
