In addition to the top-notch breeding dogs that we use, and the way that we begin training and socialization for our pups early (three-days old), our breeding program and facility are exceptional. Our Doodle Dog puppies are born in our home, where we handle and socialize the puppies from Day 1. We have a lot of people in our lives, including children, who love to come and pet and snuggle puppies. We dote on Mama Dog, feeding her farm-fresh eggs, meat, cottage cheese, squash, peanut butter, and other deliciousness, helping her to firmly establish a great, rich milk supply for the puppies. Our puppies fatten up quickly, outgrowing their whelping box within a few weeks. At around four weeks, when we begin supplementing the puppies’ diet with puppy food, we move them to our climate-controlled stalls in our barn.

This is where our breeding program is truly exceptional. Once moved to our barn, the puppies have a lot of room to play, objects to crawl on and navigate, and toys to learn from and chew on. Additionally, the puppies have access to the outdoors through puppy doors that they learn to use starting at about the age of five weeks. The outdoor space we provide them is large and safe, with lots of room to truly run, rock walls to climb on, and the world to observe and learn about! Through the field fencing around their areas, they are exposed to cats, chickens, ducks, turkeys, sheep, and livestock guardian dogs, as well as our vehicles and tractors passing by. Most importantly, they learn from their parents (with whom they are raised and socialized) that outdoors is where a pup goes potty! We know that the puppies learn this because we rarely have to clean up puppy waste from inside the barn–they go outside! They are hardwired to put their waste out of their area, and their parents set them an example, showing them how its done. It works! We regularly hear from past buyers that housebreaking their pups was extremely simple, with few to no accidents.
