I'm Karen F., the breeder behind Summer Hill Labradoodles located in Prunedale, CA. It’s important to us that we continue to improve our program and share our knowledge with our buyer families. We want to better the breed through thorough health testing and selective breeding decisions.
Q. & A. with Karen
Why did you start breeding?
I first started shortly after I purchased my first Multigen Australian Labradoodle around 7 years ago.
I have been mentored by the best and have learned hands on, from delivering to after care to training.
What makes your program special?
I feel our program is special due to the small amount of litters we have each year. We are NOT a puppy mill.
We deliver and raise our pups on our beautiful four acres, where we can give them tender loving care as they get ready to go to their forever homes with the many experiences they have on a daily basis.
Our pups all come from Fully Health-tested parents and their pedigrees are up to date.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include miniature and medium sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include caramel cream, red, apricot, chocolate, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
