you are amazing and bring the best puppies into the world! Our Stella is 4.5 now and I can’t imagine her not part of our family. She’s the sweetest, funniest and kindest dog I’ve ever owned!

Happy New Year to you all! Just wanted to give you a quick update on Elsie! (From Isla & Harley’s litter, I kept her name:) She is now 7 months old. I have to admit, I was a little skeptical choosing a puppy on a FaceTime call. Initially I had my sights set on a different puppy until I saw how Elsie followed and interacted with Raquel, while we were talking. I am so glad I chose her! We immediately bonded on the way home after picking her up. She was potty trained very quickly with only a handful of accidents. She is incredibly intelligent and learned basic commands within a few tries. She loves to go along with me wherever I go and is always aware of where I am! She has flown (in cabin) to and from Florida twice already and you would never even know she was on the flight. I have 3 year old twin Grandsons that she is very tolerant with and she is also fabulous with other dogs. Her temperament is on point! I just love her! Thank you so much and keep doing wonderful things!

Tacie is 4 1/2 and is a joy to us everyday! Her parents are Jacie and Terence. We are grateful everyday that she is part of our family!

Hello, I brought home a female puppy from your reverse F1b bernedoodle littler in December of 2021. I just wanted to reach out and tell you how amazing she is! Her name is Dakota and she is the best doggo! She is such a fun loving goofy dog and is the sweetest girl with the best temperament and personality. She is now 2 years old and topped out at 65 pounds! Everyone stops me on the street and asks me about her and tells me how beautiful she is. She’s the best friend I could have ever asked for! I hope you do another reverse F1 bernedoodle litter in the future!! Below are her puppy photos and her now! 

All the best,

It has been a couple years, but thought I would send you an update on Ollie (aka Boo). He is still a spunky and loving pup. He may be 2 years old now, but still has the puppy spunk😊. He is a wonderful addition to our family and we are just loving every bit of him! He and Cooper have much fun together. Ollie makes quite a defender when Cooper is practicing soccer in the backyard and Ollie LOVES the boat! He seems to have topped out at ~44lbs and is just the perfect size for our family. Hope everything is wonderful for all of you and wishing you a joyous holiday season!

~The Hallblade Family (Cooper, Tura, Brian & Ollie) 12/6/23

Our son in Heaven, Colin, would be so excited. Both of our kids have begged for a dog over the years. Definitely a dream come true for our daughter, Courtney. We can already tell that Judah's mellow temperament and compassionate snuggles are going to offer a lot of healing after our son and my dad went home to be with Jesus this summer after a tragic accident. Thank you Kimberlee's Kennels.

Hello from Truffles in WA! Truffles (then Aurora) is now 1yr and 4mos and exactly 20 lbs. She is the kindest and sweetest dog ever!

Petite Goldendoodle from Isla & Harley

Hello, 

I thought I'd send an update email on Rusty (AKA Theodore) from Xena and Hawk's December 2022 litter. Rusty is doing very well. I have attached a recent picture of Rusty for you to see and share with the others in the facility. He is 8- 1/2 months now and weighed 63.2 pounds at vet weight check last week. He is a foodie and thinks he's getting a treat or is going to be fed every time we open the pantry where we keep that stuff. He will look to see what we are getting from the pantry and if it's a treat for him he will run to his "place" or kennel. If it's time to eat his food he will go sit down near his dish and wait for us to give the "ok" command for him to start eating. He is a smart pup and we even had to end training 4 classes early because we didn't know what else to have her help us with. Potty training was better than expected and Rusty only had a handful of accidents in the house. He even gets to stay out of the kennel at night now and is only kenneled when we leave the house. He likes to play with his Chuck It ball in the backyard and go for walks. He occasionally gets to play with other dogs in the neighborhood and is super social with people. We feel like celebrities when we take him out in public as everyone raves about his cuteness, color, coat, huge paws and white patch on his chest. We end up surrounded by groups of people when we take Rusty to our local farmer's market. They all want to know what he is and where we got him. While in Door County, Wisconsin we took him to a few outdoor seating restaurants or dog friendly stores, and had many people come pet him and talk to us about him. One lady even asked where we got him and then looked up your website for reference when she gets home, as she is considering getting a dog. We had two groups of people make bets with their friends on what type of doodle he was. I did see that Xena was retired after the Alvin and Chipmunks litter and I do see you are planning to retire Hawk. Hope Xena is doing well in her new home and hope Hawk will go to a good home. Thank you for breeding such great dogs and hopefully your other customers get the same reaction from the public when they take their dogs out as we do when we take Rusty out.

Standard F1 Goldendoodle from Xena & Hawk

Hi All, just wanted to drop a line quick and tell you how much we are enjoying Casper, now “Marshall”. He is simply amazing! We can’t believe how chill he is. And he is so affectionate! He seemed to already know the phrase “go potty”. He’s a champ, can’t say enough about him! 

~ Shelley L 9/23

Standard poodle from Zara & Pharoah

Jacie is adjusting very well. Still walking her on a leash each time she goes out. Orville (fna Bane) is keeping the house alive and being very much a puppy. Lots of toys to play with and he enjoys unpacking his baskets everyday.

Cooper- Miniature F1 englidoodle from Elsa & Goliath

Just a follow up note on Hank, who we picked up July 5th in Decorah. He is a great pup ... beautiful, smart, fast learning and a joy to have! He's already 2" taller than Charlie, our other Kimberlee's Kennels mini Bernedoodle, and weighs 22 lbs. We couldn't have picked a better dog to get from you. So ... just an appreciative THANK YOU!

Standard F1b goldendoodle from Ella & Klaus

Kimberlee, I absolutely love that this is the setting your pups are raised with. When we arrived at the kennel to bring our boy home, I couldn’t have been happier to see him running free outside, playing with the others, and enjoying the fresh air and exercise.

-Nancy Huntington 4/28/23

Standard poodle from Falcon & Farrah!

Would like you to know how wonderful and precious our Molly has been to us. She is a real joy. Very intelligent as she already sits, shakes paws and lays down on command. We are working on roll over. House training is proceeding well. Only once in a while #1 mistakes happen. We enjoy her immensely and the Vet was very pleased and complimentary of her condition and growth. Everywhere we take her she turns into an attraction. We have grown to love her very much as her sweet personality makes her a gift of life. 

Best wishes,

Ron & Kay

Just wanted to give you an update on Georgie (Trixie from Dolly and Draco) born 12/23/22.  She is doing great and we have her camping which she loves.  She is also a great traveler. She is so smart (a little stubborn) but easy to train. Thank you for your support during the whole process.  Steve and Cindy Dudley

Miniature F1b bernedoodle

Cooper is an F1 EnglishDoodle and his parents are Elsa and Goliath! He’s 4 months old and is already 25 pounds. He’s an absolute sweetheart! His face definitely has the full furnishing too. My veterinarian is in love with him. She said he’s so calm and laid back for his age. It’s so true, he is so gentle and kind with our grandchildren. He’s everything that we wanted as far as temperament goes.  Just wanted to share a photo of him with you. - Karie Marie

Hi Kimberlee May 8th, 2017. 

I have been meaning to email you for some time about Theo (formerly Gandolf) from Nora’s October litter. He was been a great addition to our family! I thought in addition to seeing how he is doing, you might be interested in sharing with some of the current puppies owner’s as they make their picks soon. We came in looking for a curly female and came away with a plush male, and you helped us pick based on temperament (perfect pick!)

Theo is a mischievous, independent, spunky, fun, happy puppy. He absolutely loves playing with our seven year old doodle Polly. While she is a cuddler who always has to be with us, he is definitely more independent (I think self secure), although he is always up for a scratch or belly rub. He is almost always smiling & everyone who has interacted with him, from his doggy day care providers to his dog walker, groomer, and vet techs love him. His groomer especially loves him, and the first time she groomed him she was down right giddy over how calm he was in the dryer, and specifically said to say a huge thank you to you for acclimating him well. After his second grooming she says he is already one of her favorites, and she has been grooming for over 30 years. 

Not much rattles Theo, while he has the puppy energy, he will also curl up and take a nap the mornings I work from home. Overall I would say he is resilient dog. If he encounters something new he is curious, (not scared as Polly can be), if he falls down he shakes it off, and I think he will great visiting therapy dog some day. I can start working with our trainer when he about 14 months old. Right now he is very mischievous and funny, he loves stealing socks and shoes, and has to make sure we notice when he does. 

Looks wise he is a unique champagne color with dark eyes, and a black button nose. While he started plush, he is gotten much more curly, and his coat is very, very dense. The vet estimates he will be 65 lbs when full grown, when we neutered him at 6 months, he was 50 lbs. I think his build is more similar to his dad’s as he is very stocky, and shorter then his sister. 

Thank you so much for the great work, and careful breeding, you do. We are so happy with Theo, he is such a fun addition to our family!

Thanks so much

Christina, Steve, Polly, and Theo

Erin Batten I visited Kimberlee's house when selecting our baby. She greeted us with open arms, gave us the grand tour, showed us the grounds while many dogs were wonderfully playing. When we picked up our Rookie Kimberlee was thorough, efficient, showed us how to groom eyes and ears, we met her new fur babies (from Russia) as they are treated like royalty. We even got to try Steve's famous fudge...AMAZING! She mothers ALL of them, has heartbreak, joy, and comfort in knowing she is truly doing her absolute best. It is up to us...the new family to prove to her we are providing the same level of care she does. Thank you Kimberlee as I know you don't get told this NEAR enough 😘

Linda Krogman From what I have seen and heard about your Kennels I have NO doubt that the puppies born at your establishment are brought into a world of Love and Care ! The fact that you performed mouth to mouth on the puppy demonstrates that. The communication between you and the new owners is very strong and helpful. Taking care of new puppies requires a lot of time and expense. Just my opinion!

Lisa Hansen Struchen We got our cocker Lacey from you years ago and had the best experience! She has the best temperament meaning her blood line is awesome too! Kimberlee loves her dogs and it shows! We love Lacey and Kimberlee (Kimberlee's Kennels)!!!

Carol Liddell Neumayer We love our babies Hazel and Bandit...you were awesome to work with..invited us into your home...and show nothing but quality and care for all your puppies...mommas and Daddys. We think you rock!!

Ashley 'Field' Hoopman We love our Lucy so much! The kids can't keep their hands off of her! You do such a great job raising them and keeping them all healthy. Lucy is so smart and well behaved already, you can tell she was raised well! People don't see how clean, happy and healthy all the dogs are. Keep up the great work!! 😘🐶 

Our family purchased Damon from you. He was from your December 28, 2016 litter(Crispy and Jedi). His new name is Miles and has been a most beautiful, well behaved, funny, and healthy dog! His vet was amazed at your handiwork of breeding puppies, and I think I gave out 5 referrals just trying to leave his appointment. So many are still impressed with this adorable puppy. Your pricing seems to be appropriate for your level of care etc. Thank you for all you do to make happy homes for people. Moriah said that she named Damon, so please tell her he is doing really well in his new home! 

Sincerely, 

Jen, Ryan, Seamus, and Sully 

Miles too

We are so in love with our sweet new little girl golden doodle! We have named her Murphy. Please give her mama Cookie a special treat for creating such a sweet dog!

I cannot thank Kimberlee and staff enough for caring for her until we could become her forever family. Kimberlee was so informative and available to answer any of my questions through the process. I appreciate everything you all have done! She's so sweet and loving! Thank you again for everything!

Updated on 6/6/2016:

I got one of Skye's 2/25/2016 puppies. The F1b was picked specifically for the no-shed and allergy issues. Our grandchildren with dog allergies have spent the last 2 days with our puppy and NO issues. These are children who would pet a puppy and immediately get itchy eyes, sneezing...full blown allergy attack. Our granddaughter has literally put her face in our puppy's fur to get one of his hugs and nothing happened. We are all so in love with our Sonny (Sawyer).

Original review: 

I took our puppy Sonny "Sawyer" from Skye's litter born 2/25 to the vet today for his first checkup. The vet said he looks fantastic!!! There was another lady waiting for her dog who was a tad bit obsessed with my puppy She asked me where I got him and I told her. I also said I would not hesitate for a second to get another puppy from Kimberlee's Kennels!!

We are loving this little guy so much. He is SO smart already.

Thank you again for giving our puppy such s great start!

kimberlee Kennels came highly recommended from a friend and after going though the process of getting an English Goldendoodle from her I can understand why she came with such high praise. The love and care she has for all of the dogs is second to none. We could not be happier with the dog we have now and the whole process of working with Kimberlee. I would definitely highly recommend and when the time comes to consider another puppy she will be first on my list.

LeeAnn Koelling reviewed Kimberlee's Kennels — 5 star

We recently purchased a Standard English Doodle from Kim and after a week could not be more please with his intelligence, compatibility, loving nature, but most of all how he adapted to our huge family and his tempermanent while he was handled. He already comes to his new name of Luke, sits on hand commands, goes down with voice and a little cajoling from treats, and is about 80% potty trained. Kim and Steve were professional in all our meeting with the attitude you can call me at any time and please send the updates on Luke/Cotton. So here is your first update. Merry Christmas Steve and Kim! We already have the best present possible.

Kimberlee has been nothing but helpful and up front from start to finish. I have thoroughly scoured her website and found wealths of information about how she works, what to expect, and a plethora more details about her pups I didn't even know I needed. We are very happy to be picking our new puppy from such a hard-working and reputable breeder and overall businesswoman. We're thrilled with our experience with Kimberlee and recommend her to anyone looking for a new pup that will come from a truly good home.

Our experience with Kimberlee's Kennels was wonderful! She helped us prepare for our new boy and was very organized with the "bringing home puppy" packet. Our English Doodle from Kimberlee is the best dog I have ever met. He has been so sweet, loving and loyal from minute we brought him home. The temperament tests were right on. You can tell she puts her heart and soul into the health and well being of every puppy she raises.

Kimberlee is the most hard working amazing breeder I have ever come across. When searching for a reputable breeder for a golden-doodle I searched Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Dakota and finally Iowa where I found Kimberlee. I have been on a list since February of 2016 and I was just down there last weekend to finally pick out my pup, I couldn't be more pleased. She is one of a kind and you will not go wrong getting a puppy from her!!

We brought our "Oliver" home one week ago today. We are extremely happy with our puppy! He's very smart and he's a sweetheart! He's been the easiest puppy we've had to start on potty training. I was so impressed with the care Kimberlee gives her puppies. Kimberlee is great about answering any questions and her website is very easy to use and has a wealth of information. She really gets them off to a good start in life. I was impressed with the wealth of information we received with our puppy, potty training info, grooming info, temperament testing, health and medical info, and microchip. We chose to purchase the Nutri Source puppy food and we're glad we did. There was no transitioning Oliver to another food. Our other puppy even likes it. Thank you Kimberlee for raising such beautiful dogs! We absolutely love Oliver!♡

Kimberlee was so kind when, due to family circumstances, we had to back out on our puppy last fall...heartbreaking decision and she was only kind and supportive, even allowing me to use my deposit towards a future pup...which she did NOT have to do. I am looking forward to a wonderful friend joining us one day, from any of her exceptional litters.

We brought home "Carmen" from Skye's 2/25/16 litter at the end of April and have absolutely loved her! Kimberlee was so great to work with during the whole process. She got back to us quickly, was super helpful during the selection process, and took time to talk with us when picking up our pup. It was great to get photos during the 8 weeks after the puppies were born, along with cute videos. Our vet was incredibly impressed with how well our little pup was cared for and was happy we chose such a responsible breeder. We would highly recommend Kimberlee to anyone and would not hesitate to buy another puppy from her again!

Kimberlee is the best! If you are considering a puppy Kimberlee is your girl! She was super friendly and accommodating with all our questions. She loves her puppies and she takes excellent care of them. We got our sweet Ella 2 weeks ago and she is an amazing puppy!!!

We couldn't be happier after our adoption of our sweet Maddie!! Kimberlee was so friendly and you can tell she loves her pups! Our Vet looked over all her paperwork and she made a comment that a lot of times the breeders are a bit off the wall with their recommendations, however they told me that Kimberlee was right on with what they recommend!! 

The next time we are looking for a puppy, I'd for sure go with her again!!

We picked up our little golden-doodle last Wednesday and we are thrilled. I worked with Kimberlee over the phone and not only is she amazing to work with, she is very knowledgeable. Our first vet check at home was excellent. Our vet was very impressed with the worming process and the microchip, as most breeders don't go to that extent. It sure made me feel good and I would recommend Kimberlee Kennels any day. We personally met Steve, but someday we'll travel up to their part of the country and personally meet Kimberlee. Thank-you - we love our puppy so much.
