This is where we got ours. |
McKenzie’s Doodles. Great people. All moms and dads raised in either their home or in a companion family’s home. Puppies are socialized with kids and cats. We have a sheepie from them and he’s awesome.

Beware of any breeder who talks about “hybrid rigor.” That is a bunch of marketing BS.
They’re great dogs, though. Neurotic as hell sometimes, though. |
Prejudice and prejdoodles. 2 experiences there and everything is top notch and so helpful. |

Fox Creek Farm is where I’ve gotten two. They are awesome dogs.

Doodles are the worst. Don’t get one. |
Almost any rescue will have doodles dumped by breeders. Try there first. |
Umm you think all these puppies and their parents live in homes? I’ve got a bridge to sell you. |
Anyone can give a dog a bath and some grooming and take pics of it by some trees. Do good homework and don’t be taken in by fancy photos and phrases like “ we love all our dogs”
Anyone can write that. They’re breeding for profit. Remember that. |
+1000 24 (!!) breeding females at once? A "proprietary secret new special mini breed" that they won't even tell you what the parents are? There's puppy mill and then there's this - just a backyard breeder with a website and no shame. |
There are no ethical doodle breeders, just backyard breeders and puppy mills who can make good websites. Because there are no breed standards you roll the dice with any you purchase. Are some of them great with families and even-tempered? Absolutely, i know a few lovely ones! Are some of them neurotic and badly bred? Also yes! And no way to guarantee which you'll get.
I encourage you to either find a purebred that suits your needs or look in a rescue if you are set on a doodle. No legit breeder of poodles, Goldens, labs, etc would consent to have their lines used in a doodle breeding program so you end up with dogs from inferior lines being used to produce puppies that vary wildly. Also, they also aren't hypoallergenic and require a LOT of grooming. Like, a lot. Daily and a regular professional grooming cadence. |
