About Freya
Freya, born in April 2023 in beautiful Kalispell, Montana, is the heart of Tahoma Goldendoodles. Her parents, Maggie Joe, a loving F1 Goldendoodle, and Max, a spirited Miniature Poodle, passed down their best traits to her. Fully grown, Freya weighs 25 pounds and has a gorgeous wavy Apricot coat that reflects her Poodle heritage. Sociable and sweet, Freya adores her cat and dog siblings, making her a wonderful companion to other animals. She’s also an adventurous traveler, whether navigating airports or enjoying long road trips. Freya loves her trips to the groomer, where her personality truly shines. Her playful yet gentle nature makes her the perfect foundation for our family-focused Mini Goldendoodles. We’re excited to share the joy Freya brings to our lives with you!
