About Us: The Heart Behind Little Golden Farm
Hey there! I’m Melissa, the face (and heart) behind Little Golden Farm. This whole journey started way before I ever dreamed of starting a program of my own. I grew up watching my mom raise Poodles with so much love and dedication, and I’d spend hours by her side learning everything I could. Watching her care for her dogs with such devotion showed me how much intention and heart it takes to raise puppies the right way. It shaped everything I believe in now.
Dogs have always been my safe place especially during the hardest chapters of my life. Their love is just... unmatched. I’ll never forget how a sweet little Doodle walked into my world when I needed it most and brought this spark back into my life. That kind of healing sticks with you. It’s the reason I do this to help other families experience that same joy, love, and connection.
These days, I’m lucky to be raising puppies alongside my mom as a true family team. We’ve got decades of experience between us, and we pour everything into raising Bernedoodles and Aussiedoodles who are not only adorable but also healthy, social, and emotionally solid. This isn’t a big operation it’s our home, our passion, and a whole lot of love.
Our Values: A Home for Every Puppy
At Little Golden Farm, our puppies grow up right inside our home, not in kennels or outbuildings. They’re part of the family from day one. That means they’re raised with real-life sounds, people, cuddles, and routines, helping them grow into confident, well-adjusted little companions.
We also use the Puppy Culture and Badass Breeder programs, which include Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), Early Scent Introduction (ESI), and intentional socialization. These tools help shape strong, resilient puppies who are ready to take on the world (or at least their new homes!) when the time comes.
Why Families Choose Us
We’re a small, family-run program on purpose because we believe quality matters so much more than quantity. Every dog in our program is genetically health-tested and OFA certified, and We only move forward with pairings that we genuinely believe will create the best, healthiest puppies possible.
When you get a puppy from us, you’re not just taking home a new best friend you’re joining our extended family. We’re always here for questions, updates, support, and to cheer your pup on through every stage of life.
A New Chapter in Fort Myers
We recently made the move from Miami to Fort Myers, and we’re so excited about what’s ahead. This new season gives us the space and focus to keep growing Little Golden Farm into something even more special. We’re working on adding more photos and details to our site—including parent dog bios, health certifications, and info about our upcoming litters. Can’t wait to share more soon!
