About Agape Labradoodles

Agape Labradoodles was founded 14 years ago in the foothills west of Denver, Colorado by Linda and Sonny Kelsey, inspired by a chocolate Labrador named Jessie who stole their hearts and changed their lives. What started as a quest for the perfect dog- one with a loving temperament and hypoallergenic qualities- blossomed into a passionate, purpose-driven breeding program focused on health, DNA, and temperament. With the help of mentors and trusted breeders, Linda and Sonny built Agape Labradoodles around the simple but powerful idea behind its name: Agape, meaning unconditional love.

From their very first Australian Labradoodles, Roxy and Kassi, to Denver Nugget and beyond, every dog has been lovingly raised in their home or with a guardian family. Never in a kennel. Always a part of the family. Agape became known not just for the quality of their dogs, but for the care, integrity, and heart that defined every puppy adoption.

Today, that legacy continues with Stephanie and Bryan, who proudly carry the torch into the next generation. After being part of the Agape family for over six years, they officially took over the business and remain just as committed to the values that started it all. Together, they share their home with four beloved Agape girls and lead with the same love, care, and excellence that Linda and Sonny modeled so well.

Stephanie brings her medical expertise and nurturing spirit to every puppy, overseeing health and hygiene with precision and heart. Bryan brings a background in Fortune 500 leadership, using his skills to create an exceptional client experience and a smoothly run operation. Together, they ensure that every Agape puppy starts life in a loving, thoughtful, and well-prepared environment- and that every family that joins the Agape circle feels like part of something special.

From our home to yours, thank you for being a part of the Agape story—where every tail wag starts with love.
