Introducing Your Breeders

We are not breeders on a large scale. We are not a kennel nor do we deal with brokers. We are just a retired couple living our dream life on a small farm in the Ozarks. When my husband was diagnosed with leukemia it meant that I needed to stay at home to care for him. We began searching for a means to supplement our income and still keep our small farm and the lifestyle we had strived for all those years it took to get us to this stage. We have a view from our house that overlooks 60 miles of uninterrupted wilderness comprised of the Buffalo National River Park and the Ozark National Forest.

We didn't want to give up our home, our garden, our orchard, our goats, our dogs ..... DOGS? We decided that by keeping a few breeding dogs and doing something we love to do, we would have the best life we could manage for our remaining years together. Thus began our plan to breed Doodledawgs. With the help of our son and his wife we were able to find and purchase some outstanding animals for our foundation stock. One of the two Golden Retrievers was expecting puppies already when we purchased them, so we have some Purebred AKC Golden Retriever puppies to offer first, then will ease into our breeding of Goldendoodles this Fall (2008) and Airedoodles by Spring 2009.

We have a small farm and can therefore introduce our puppies to all sorts of stimuli to increase brain growth and prepare them for the bigger outside world. Above is a picture of our Airedale Tatum when she was about 10 weeks old, getting to meet some newly born triplet goats. We also have chickens, guineas and cats, so it's a fun place to be a puppy.

Our animals are all well cared for and loved. If you choose to buy a puppy from us, you will not only be getting a top quality puppy but one who has had a head start in life, with a stimulating environment and the very best of love and care. We have many grandchildren who visit throughout the year which will also help introduce the puppies to children.
