Meet the breeder

I'm Elise K., the breeder behind Teddy Puppies located in Norcross, 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 Goldendoodle puppies include petite, miniature, and medium sizes. Bernedoodle puppies include tiny, mini, and medium sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Goldendoodle puppies include cream, apricot, red, chocolate, phantom, merle, and parti. Bernedoodle puppies include chocolate merle, tri-color, blue merle, and merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

    Elise was amazing to work with through the whole process of getting my sweet little Georgia. This was my first time adopting a puppy and she was awesome at answering all of my questions, making me full comfortable, and creating an amazing unforgettable experience. Georgia has been such an incredible little pup since the day I brought her home. I appreciate all of the training and exposure Elise gave to the puppies ahead of coming home. I constantly have people coming up to me saying how well behaved Georgia is for being such a young little puppy. Thank you, Elise for making my first puppy experience such a great one! Forever grateful!

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Teddy’s Puppies and Elise! From the very beginning, the entire experience was easy, personal, and so exciting for our family. Elise was incredibly helpful, responsive, and patient with all of my questions. You can truly tell how much she cares about her puppies and the families they go home to. We adopted our mini Bernedoodle, and she has been an absolute DREAM. She is sweet, smart, affectionate, and has the best personality. She has adjusted to our family beautifully and has been amazing with our kids. You can tell she was loved, cared for, and well socialized before ever coming home with us. One of the things I appreciated most was how comfortable Elise made me feel throughout the entire process. Getting a puppy is a big decision, and I never felt pressured or like I was just another customer. She genuinely wanted to make sure we were getting the right puppy for our family and was there to answer questions every step of the way. If you are looking for a mini Bernedoodle, I would 100% recommend Teddy’s Puppies and Elise. We are completely in love with our girl and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely get another puppy from them in the future! ❤️🐾

    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!!

    Elise was wonderful to work with. She was incredibly quick to respond and very friendly. Her personality assessment was spot-on when we met Leo. I would highly recommend her as well as her extended 2-4 week training and socialization program prior to pickup. Great experience!

    When we decided Bertie needed a little sister, we knew we weren’t just looking for another Goldendoodle. We were looking for the right dog for our family. Elise took the time to really understand us, our family, our routine, our beloved Bertie, and exactly what we hoped a second dog would bring into our home. And then we did something that felt a little crazy: we trusted her. We didn’t meet a litter of puppies and try to choose. We let Elise make the match. We met one puppy, the puppy she believed was ours. She was absolutely right. Ellie Ruth’s personality is exactly what our family needed. She fits with Bertie, she fits with us, and somehow she feels less like a puppy we picked and more like the puppy who was always supposed to end up here. There’s a lot to be said for a breeder who knows her dogs well enough, and listens to her families closely enough, to make that kind of match. Trusting Elise was one of the best decisions we made. And Ellie Ruth is the proof. ❤️ 🐾
