About Anna
Hello! My name is Anna. I began breeding Goldendoodles in 2020, with my family's F1b Standard English Cream Teddy Bear Goldendoodle, Lily. I had just started college but had dreamed about having a litter of puppies. On this journey, I have experienced incredible support from my family and friends. Without the amazing people and dogs in my life, Golden Light Doodles would not be here. Blessings!
What makes Anna’s program special
We pride ourselves on breeding Goldendoodles of exceptional quality, emphasizing health and temperament. We go beyond just providing a pet; we focus on their holistic well-being. We believe in the importance of a nutritious diet for our puppies, and that’s why we advocate for a controlled raw food diet. Our dedication extends beyond the moment you welcome a Goldendoodle into your home.

Also around 7 weeks old, puppies receive a chiropractic adjustment from a veterinarian chiropractor. We do pride ourselves on working with our families on an individual basis as well.

Why Anna started breeding
I began breeding Goldendoodles in 2020. My family got our first Goldendoodle, Lily, in 2018, and we immediately recognized her calm and playful nature. In 2020, I connected with a breeder who took me under her wing. Our first litter was born in October of 2020. Those eight puppies were a blessing in disguise, as they helped me to realize my true passion: providing a loving companion to others.

Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
