Layla wears a lot of hats here at Michigan Golden Doodles! As the guardian home for our mama Sadie—and our next-door neighbor—she’s basically part of the puppy crew 24/7. She’s the responsible one (every family has one!), but don’t let that fool you—she’s got a great sense of humor and keeps everyone laughing. Her favorite puppy was Roary… though if you ask her, she’ll tell you she loves all of them because she’s spent so much time helping raise each one.

When she’s not busy caring for puppies, you can find Layla doing arts and crafts, hanging out with her siblings (and occasionally picking on them just for fun), or proudly tackling her “favorite” job—picking up puppy poop! She’s a huge part of the Michigan Golden Doodles team, and we couldn’t do it without her!

It’s no secret—Ariel’s all-time favorite puppy is Bloomer! She’s our little creative genius behind the scenes, always helping set up photo backdrops and adding her special touch to make everything picture-perfect. Lately, Ariel’s been stepping it up even more, taking on extra puppy care duties and proving she’s growing into quite the responsible helper. When she’s not busy with the pups, you’ll find her designing fun outfits, playing with makeup, or enjoying all things girly. She also loves pitching in on the family homestead—sparkle boots and all!

Izzy is our little firecracker with a heart as big as her smile! She’s always front and center when the camera comes out, ready to strike a pose with her furry friends. Whether she’s helping socialize the puppies or just giving them extra snuggles, Izzy brings joy and laughter to every moment. When she’s not covered in puppy kisses, she enjoys sketching and coloring—her imagination runs wild with bright colors and fun ideas. Izzy reminds us every day that life’s better when you add a little creativity!

Zeppelin is our behind-the-scenes superstar here at Michigan Golden Doodles. He’s always ready to lend a hand with the day-to-day chores and especially shines when there’s some heavy lifting to do during big projects. Bath time is his specialty — he’s our official puppy bath assistant and takes his job very seriously (with lots of suds and smiles involved!).

Zeppelin’s all-time favorite puppy was Ivy — he was completely smitten with her adorable little half-blue eye. When he’s not helping out with the doodles, you’ll find him building epic Lego creations, playing with cars and tractors, hunting, or roughhousing with his little brother Rowan. He also loves spending time with his dad and his papa. Zeppelin definitely knows how to work hard and play hard!

Rowan is our right-hand guy for puppy sleepovers! Believe it or not, every puppy gets to enjoy their very first movie night—and it’s usually Paw Patrol, of course. Rowan’s favorite puppy so far has been Ivy, and he’s a total natural at story time—he loves reading to the puppies and keeping them calm and cozy. He’s growing into a responsible young man, following right in his big brother Zeppelin’s footsteps.

When he’s not helping with the pups, Rowan enjoys playing with action figures, riding his bike (hopefully without any new injuries!), and roughhousing with his brother. He’s the biggest sweetheart with an even bigger smile—and we’re so lucky to have him as part of our Michigan Golden Doodles crew!

Don’t let her size fool you—Ellie might be the tiniest helper, but she’s packed with spunk and sparkle! Her favorite puppy so far is Dahlia, and she totally owns the job of puppy sleepovers. No one can out-snuggle or out-cuddle Ellie when it comes to getting the puppies ready for their forever families. When she’s not busy being the puppy whisperer, she’s styling her friends’ hair, playing Barbies, or hanging out with her crew. As the baby of seven, she knows exactly how to make sure she gets her share of the spotlight!
