Meet the breeder

I'm Elise K., the breeder behind Teddy Puppies located in Atlanta, GA. We raise mini, & medium-sized multigen Goldendoodles and Bernedoodles with a focus on health and socialization with children. Our dogs are intelligent, playful, and excellent family pets. They are bred to ensure minimal shedding. We know our puppies will bring lasting joy and love into your homes.

Q. & A. with Elise

  • Why did you start breeding?

    After falling in love with our goldendoodles, I had the idea to breed and found a mentor, who had 30+ years of experience. As my husband Kris and I stepped into this world, we became deeply committed to doing things the right way. We invested heavily in learning—breeding best practices, genetics, and how to raise emotionally sound, well-prepared puppies. I was fortunate to be mentored by an experienced breeder who helped shape the foundation of what Teddy Puppies is today. Kris now plays an active role in training through our sister company, Proper Dog Academy, helping families continue building on the strong foundation their puppies start with us. Today, Teddy Puppies is a true family effort. I’m a mom of two boys, and we have a small, dedicated team that helps care for our puppies and parent dogs when they’re with us. Most of our adult dogs live in carefully selected guardian homes, allowing them to thrive in a family environment—something we value deeply. We also love staying connected through visits, online, and annual Teddy Puppies Family reunions.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our dogs are treated like children. They are beloved family members and we (and our hand-picked guardian families) spend time training and socializing them. We also believe that happy pups are healthy pups! We guarantee that our pups are perfectly healthy and do have not have any genetic predispositions to any known health issues. Our priority is quality over quantity and our puppies are placed in loving homes that have been reviewed carefully. I have over 120+ 5-star reviews on Google, so if you want to hear what others say about me, check those out. https://www.teddypuppies.com/testimonials
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

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

    Our Bernedoodle puppies include chocolate merle, tri-color, blue merle, and merle. Goldendoodle puppies include cream, apricot, red, chocolate, phantom, merle, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

    I adopted my mini Goldendoodle, Remy, from Elise when he was 10 weeks old, and I’ve had him for about a month now — he’s doing amazing! You can truly tell how much care and attention she gives her puppies. Even my vet mentioned that Remy had received several rounds of deworming, more than typically required, just to ensure he was as healthy as possible. I really appreciated those extra precautions. Elise was always very responsive and helpful whenever I had questions about Remy or his parents. I also enrolled him in the two-week training program with Elise and Kris before bringing him home, and he made great progress with sound desensitization and crate training. Overall, if you’re looking for a new puppy, I highly recommend Teddy Puppies!!

    Working with Ellis was amazing. She is always available to answer any questions, guide you, and explain everything step by step. We are so happy with our new family member — loving, healthy, and intelligent. She traveled all the way to where I live, and the whole process was easy. They stay by your side through everything and keep you updated the entire time. All I have left to say is thank you.🥰

    Elise was so knowledgeable about the breed! She answered all questions I had and I could tell she really cares about her dogs! She stayed in touch with me throughout the entire process and still check in on Jovi (Pillar). The process through Gooddog was easy from my initial connection with Elise to arranging to meet her to pick out our puppy and then pick up day as well. I am so glad I found Elise through Gooddog and we are so happy with Jovi!

    Our experience adopting our puppy through Elise (Teddy Puppies) was outstanding. She was consistently prompt to respond, generous with her knowledge, and genuinely supportive in helping us navigate questions and minor challenges along the way. Her ongoing follow‑ups after adoption demonstrated a true commitment to ensuring both the puppy and our family were settling in well. We are absolutely thrilled with Lana (formerly Essence). Her temperament aligns beautifully with the personality assessment we received, which proved to be very accurate. Lana’s smooth transition and early training progress clearly reflect the care, structure, and dedication Elise puts into raising her puppies. We are extremely grateful for the experience and the strong foundation Lana began her life with and for going through this process with such a incredible and responsible breeder.

    I had such a wonderful experience with Teddy Puppies and Elise! I have never gone through a breeder before and wasn’t sure what to expect, but Elise guided me through the whole process and was eager to answer any questions I had. Pickup was a breeze and we are absolutely in love with our new family member, Punkin (was Velvet)! She’s a dream dog! Thank you so much, Elise!
