About Us

Meet The Owner

I am Malinda Bender, and as owner of Underwood Kennels, I want to extend a warm welcome!

My son Jason and I began working with dogs at another kennel in 2020, and completely fell in love with the Goldens! It brought us so much happiness to work with the puppies and see how much joy they brought to their families!

Since then, we decided to continue the legacy of connecting families with happy, healthy, family-friendly puppies – best friends that will last a lifetime!

Our beloved “Goldens,” as we affectionately call them, are intelligent, loyal, and highly affectionate, making them ideal pets for the entire family. With their remarkable traits and undeniable charm, it’s no surprise they have become a top choice for dog enthusiasts worldwide. Whether you’re looking for a playful and energetic pup or a calm and loving companion, these breeds offer qualities that will surely make your heart melt.

History of Golden Retrievers

Golden Retrievers have a rich history dating back to 19th-century Scotland, where they were originally bred for hunting and retrieving game. Their remarkable skills and keen intelligence made them a favorite among hunters, while their friendly and gentle nature quickly earned them a place as beloved family pets.


Golden Retrievers are known for their impressive abilities, striking golden coats, and loyal temperaments. They form deep bonds with their owners and thrive on human companionship, making them exceptional family dogs and ideal therapy animals.

 

History of Goldendoodles

Goldendoodles originated from the desire to create a hypoallergenic guide dog, and they have since evolved into beloved family pets. A crossbreed of the lively Poodle and the gentle Golden Retriever, Goldendoodles are known for their charming personalities, adorable looks, and remarkable versatility.

Their intelligence and eagerness to please make them easy to train, allowing them to become well-behaved family members quickly. Goldendoodles are perfect for dog lovers of all ages and offer a delightful combination of traits that make them an excellent choice for any home.
