How It All Began
Our program started with the 2 breeds we love most. We raise Medium and Mini Doodles, as well as Mini Dachshund puppies in a very loving, comfortable, and healthy home environment with constant attention. Our puppies are given a great start. We carefully select wonderfully tempered, genetically sound, and health tested parent dogs to produce healthy, hypoallergenic, happy, social and adorable doodle puppies and personable, wiggly, cuddly, friend for life dachshunds. We started with Goldendoodles, but the doodle world is so versatile, there's always something for everyone. For this reason, we have slowly opened our program to allow other sweet temperament doodles. Our focus and concentration will always be to produce well rounded puppies that fit in with active families, or bring comfort to their owners. We are a full service breeder. This means we offer your pup as much socialization as possible before it leaves at 8 weeks old, but we can also provide additional training upon request from the 8-12 week mark.
The Doodles & Doxies Difference
Our pups are well handled, vet checked, dewormed, and vaccinated, by the time they are ready to go. We work diligently starting at 3 weeks old to have them Potty TRAY trained, using one spot in their area and keeping the rest of their area clean! At 7 weeks old we put them on a potty schedule and start the housebreaking process for you, by offering outside potty trips 3 times a day after meals.
** Due to our obligation to follow the guidelines laid out by the Ohio Department of Agriculture and the regulations they have in place for any High Volume Breeder (any breeder who owns 6 or more intact dogs) we are no longer allowed to "crate train" our puppies while they are under 8 weeks old. This is due to sizing requirements that mean the pup would need 2x the size of the crate...and everyone knows that too much space means the pup can just walk over and pee/poop away from where they sit in the crate. This defeats the purpose of Crate Training. The ODA guidelines we have to follow are set for dogs that "live in their area 24/7" and they don't take into account crate training puppies.
We are able to crate train as part of our paid Puppy Preschool, as this age (8-12 weeks old) has different requirements for space. We also have a small team of in-home trainers that help us with the Puppy Preschool, allowing our pups to continue working on their crate and potty training schedule and routine in the comfort of a home environment similar to ours.
Starting January 2026, we will continue to potty train by offering a designated spot within our puppy areas for them to go potty , keeping their sleeping area clean. This is the FIRST and main step in teaching good potty training habits. And of course we will share our Puppy Preschool Schedule with you for FREE so that you can start working on good habits with your pup as soon as they come home!
Our "Pets First" Promise
Our puppies are offered as “pet only” status. A spay/neuter contract is required for any puppy from our program unless approval is given to select breeders that meet our guidelines. We don't support casual breeding, or "breeding one time" scenarios. Breeding takes a lot of effort. Scheduling. Research of genes and bloodlines. Ruling out dogs based on picky standards. We don't give breeding approval to programs that keep their dogs outside. We are blessed with daily applications, and that allows us to HANDPICK the families that we want our puppies to go to!
We are an "in- home" breeding program. Our parent dogs live in our home, or in local "Guardian Homes" around our area. It's more work to keep our home clean, and the schedule is chaotic, but it's also more rewarding to have our family dogs where they belong, in loving homes and surrounded by humans who adore them.
Why Choose Us?
Our puppies ALWAYS start their lives in our home, surrounded by our family. They graduate to our renovated Puppy Nursery at 5 weeks old so they have more room to play and grow!
We recently got our LLC for "Doodles & Doxies", and we follow all state regulations when it comes to the care and wellbeing of the dogs that live with us. For this reason, we are obligated to charge Ohio State and Local tax of 7.25%. This is always noted on your invoice in advance.
Our goal is to be the breeder that is always there for you, a text or phone call away, and a sounding board for encouragement and advice as you and your new furry family member grow old together. We have several of our puppies in the surrounding counties like Delaware, Lewis Center, Sunbury, and more. It thrills our soul when our pups get to come back to visit! We are on the web as a popular sheepadoodle breeder in Chicago, based on the review of our clients who live there! We take our role seriously and strive to be the best breeder you've ever worked with!
