OUR STORY

Why We Breed

FamilyLoved Doodles began with a simple belief:  dogs should be raised as part of the family, not just bred and sold.  Our journey started with our own love for Goldendoodles.  We love their intelligence, gentle nature, and strong bonds with their families, including children.  While this business is a blessing for our family, the most important part of this journey is the health and treatment of the puppies for their entire lives.  We want to raise puppies in a clean, loving home where they are handled daily and given the best possible start in life.

How We Care for Our Puppies

     Our puppies and parents are raised in a home as part of a family, and they will never be housed outside of a home or in a kennel. Our parent dogs are carefully selected for temperament, structure, and overall health.  We work closely with our veterinarian to ensure all of our parents receive routine wellness exams, vaccinations, and preventative care.    The puppies are raised inside our house, and they are handled daily.  Being raised in a family setting helps to create a smooth transition into their forever homes.  They will be familiar with the everyday sights, sounds, and smells of a normal household.  We provide intentional handling of our puppies to ensure that they are accustomed to having their ears, tails, paws, and mouths touched and manipulated.  As they grow, the puppies continue to be handled and played with daily.  They are intentionally exposed to new sights, toys, noises, animals, and people to ensure that they are well socialized and ready for their families.  The puppies are fed a quality diet and introduced to a "potty area," grooming, and crate.  They will receive appropriate deworming, as well as age-appropriate vaccinations and a health examination by our veterinarian prior to going home.  It is an absolute privilege to love them first!
