I’m Kristie, the owner of Elite Goldendoodles and Bernedoodles, but what I do is about so much more than simply raising puppies. It is about helping families like yours find a healthy, loving companion who fits naturally into your lifestyle, a puppy who can grow into the kind of dog you enjoy taking everywhere with you.

When you choose an Elite puppy, I want you to feel confident knowing that your puppy’s story began with honesty, integrity, and ethical breeding practices. I carefully plan each pairing with health, temperament, structure, genetics, and the well-being of the dogs at the heart of every decision. Our parent dogs receive extensive genetic and OFA health testing because I believe you deserve transparency, peace of mind, and a breeder who is willing to do the important work behind the scenes.

I truly love studying genetics and thoughtfully planning each litter, but one of the most rewarding parts of this program is the time I spend with the puppies. I love watching their personalities emerge and seeing the difference that intentional early development can make. Through age-appropriate socialization, early neurological stimulation, early scent introduction, and our puppy curriculum, each puppy is gently introduced to new sights, sounds, textures, experiences, and challenges.

These experiences are designed to help build confidence, resilience, trust, and adaptability. My goal is to help prepare your puppy to become a wonderful companion who can comfortably fit into your everyday life, whether that means traveling with you, joining you on family outings, visiting friends, spending weekends at the lake, or simply relaxing beside you at home. I want you to have a dog you are proud to take with you and one who feels like a true part of your family.

My hope is that your experience with Elite feels personal from the very beginning. I want you to feel welcomed, informed, supported, and excited—not only on the day you bring your puppy home, but throughout the entire journey. I love sharing updates, photos, videos, milestones, and those special little moments that allow you to fall in love with your puppy before he or she is ever placed in your arms.

For me, raising puppies is an incredibly positive and meaningful experience. I pour my heart into every litter because I know I am not simply choosing homes for puppies—I am helping families find the puppy they have been dreaming about. If you are looking for a breeder who values honesty, ethical practices, exceptional care, thorough health testing, and a lifelong commitment to her puppies and their families, I would be honored to welcome you into the Elite family.

XOXO,

Kristie
