Our effort in providing outstanding pups is a lot of work. We are raising the bar on nurturing; and are constantly looking for ways to improve our process and the delivery of puppy care. In our opinion, all breeders should at least be providing Biosensor training within the first two weeks of the pup's life AND desensitize them to fireworks, thunderstorm and other environmental noises.

We enjoy an excellent reputation because of the quality of our dogs and the early development program we provide our puppies. Our goal is to place well adjusted, calm puppies with dog experienced people/families. (Please check out our customer comments page.)

Our early development program includes, but is not limited to:

Early neuro-stimulation (Military developed Biosensor training) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ja6E4xa-6Hs
Exposure to:
- various environmental noises including fireworks and thunderstorms
- clipper vibration
- feet being handled, and toenails trimmed
- crates
Housebreaking initiated using a modified Misty Method
Daily interaction, setting up the groundwork for future families reinforcing appropriate behavior with Humans:
- eye contact
- socialization
- name recognition (when buyer provides a name)
- sit command
- not jumping
- coming when called
- not biting
- foot sitting
- cuddling

Doodles are wonderful dogs. They are very loving and empathetic, and several of our puppies have gone to be therapy or service dogs.

Including a dog in one's life is a huge commitment, one that should last the lifetime of the dog. Dogs are sentient beings and as such should be treated with love and respect. They need people. Dogs are social animals and require attention to become the best dog you have ever had. They also benefit from having another canine buddy.

Please consider carefully your decision to have a dog. It takes 2 years for a puppy to grow into a mature dog. Puppy hood can be exasperating. Positive correction and guidance takes time and effort. The more time and positive effort you put into your dog will build on our efforts in producing quality canine companion.

If you have a home with a fenced in yard; or someone to take care of the dog while your away at work; or perhaps you work from home; or are an active retiree; or a stay-at-home parent; or something similar, then we may have some puppies for you to choose from.

Yes, we expose the pups to crates, as these can help with housebreaking during the night or in situations where it's safer for the dog to be in one. However, if you are planning on putting your dog in a cage (crate) while you're at work please don't buy from us. There is a reason why Zoo's stop putting their animals in cages. It’s bad for their physical and mental health.

As part of our early development program desensitizing puppies to various aspects of grooming is part of our program. Here we are clipping puppy nails.

Assisting Koa in transitioning to eating kibbles. We do this with all of our puppies. Individualize care.
