Because every family deserves  a once-in-a-lifetime kind of dog

Welcome To Milk & Honey

We’re a small, boutique breeder in Russell Springs, Kentucky, raising Mini Goldendoodles in our home.

Our goal is to send home sweet, confident puppies who are truly set up for family life.

Hey there, nice to meet you, I’m Holly the one behind the messages, the camera, and the face you’ll see loving on your puppy long before they ever come home.

What started as a dream and a prayer has grown into a purpose-filled journey of raising Mini Goldendoodles with intention, faith, and heart. Every puppy born here is part of something deeply meaningful a program built on health, structure, and genuine connection.

I’m a lifelong dog lover, deeply rooted in faith, and I find my greatest joy in building real relationships with the families who walk this journey with us. For me, this isn’t just about breeding it’s about trust, connection, and watching love grow in all the sweetest ways.

Testimonials

The Sweet Stories We’re Greatful For

  • Holly at Milk & Honey Doodles was probably the most helpful, informative, transparent, and forthcoming with everything about her process. I personally visited her home prior to picking up my puppy, all of her dogs are like family. They are in the home and part of every day activities. For the first time in my life, I’ve got a puppy that was so easy to train, because of everything Holly does prior to the eight weeks. It was amazing. I am so impressed and I love my little girl so much that I’m getting another one from Holly. I think for the work that she does and her process the money is worth it and I won’t go to any other breeder for a Petite goldendoodle. And as a little, sidenote, what she sends home with your puppy is amazing. You won’t be disappointed.

    —Sandy G.

  • We brought our Oliver home in August 2023. He is such a great pup. Milk & Honey is the best. Holly is so knowledgeable and caring. I definitely recommend purchasing your pup from her. —Kristie O.

  • Holly was wonderful to work with. She answered any questions I had. Still does and it’s been months. Rupp is the most well behaved pup and was so easy to train. I highly recommend Holly to anyone wanting to get a new puppy. — Melissa B. 

The Honey On How It All Works

  • Once your application is approved, a deposit secures your spot on our waitlist. Families are matched in the order deposits are received, but we always prioritize personality and fit over color or gender because the right match makes all the difference.

  • Yes, absolutely. Every parent in our program is fully health tested through Embark and has OFA certifications for hips, elbows, patellas, heart, and eyes. Health isn’t just important to us it’s the foundation of everything we do.

  • Each puppy goes home with a full care package including a blanket that smells like mom + littermates, health records, a few of their favorite toys, and lifetime support from me. Once you’re part of the Milk & Honey family, you’re always part of it.

  • Yes! We offer personal hand delivery to many states and can meet halfway when possible. Our goal is to make getting your puppy as stress-free and safe as possible for both of you.

  • Yes! Every Milk & Honey puppy comes with a 5-year genetic health guarantee — because we believe peace of mind matters just as much as puppy breath.

  • Our puppies go home around 8–9 weeks of age. This gives them time to learn key social and confidence skills from their mom and littermates before heading out into the world.

  • We love meeting our future families! For the safety of our puppies, we limit in-person visits until they’ve had their first vaccines, but we keep you updated with photos, videos, and FaceTime calls so you never miss a moment.

  • Life happens — and we’ll always be here. If you ever find yourself in that situation, we’ll gladly take back any puppy or dog. Our dogs are family for life.
