I'm the breeder behind Crazy Cute Kennels located in Miles, IA. My husband and I got hooked on Goldendoodles by friends who have them and couldn't quit talking about how wonderful they are. They were right. Our dogs live in our home right alongside us. Their puppies get socialized and are used to "house living" right from the start. We are a small hobby breeder who wants other people to enjoy Goldendoodles as much as we do!
About Kendra
I am a small hobby breeder. I only breed Goldendoodles at this time. I have been breeding for almost 25 years. I also help rescue and rehome dogs in need. Our dogs live in our home with us. We raise our puppies with Puppy Culture ENS and enjoy this process!
What makes Kendra’s program special
Our program is special because of the way we treat our dogs. They are truly a part of our family and treated as such. We go the extra mile for them all!
Kendra has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies. You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion. Together, you'll choose the puppy that's right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Puppy prices range from $1,600 - $1,900.
Kendra may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Kendra offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Kendra directly.
We do Puppy Culture ENS. We also invite many people to come in to help socialize. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Puppy Culture .
Our vet visits our home to check the puppies and comes back to give them their first shots around 6 to 7 weeks old. He checks for cleft pallets, heart murmurs, hernias, and testicles. Each puppy gets their wormings beginning at 2 weeks of age through going home.
Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While Crazy Cute Kennels hasn’t shared specifics yet, we encourage you to reach out directly to learn what thoughtful extras they may include to help your puppy transition comfortably into their new home.
Kendra offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
Work with a trusted flight nanny or transporter to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at an airport or meeting point close to home.
Why Kendra started breeding
We got into breeding Labrador Retrievers as my family are big hunters and just enjoy the breed. We have one litter a year and placing them with great families has always been a joy.
