WELCOME TO DOODLES OF OZ

If you are in search of a quality, well-rounded puppy, from an ethical breeder, then you are in the right place! We are a family-owned, hobby breeder that raises all of our puppies in our home and converted puppy area, rather than in a kennel. This ensures that our puppies are well socialized and accustomed to the every day hustle and bustle of daily life! All of our dogs are family pets first, whether they live in our home or with one of our guardian families. It is extremely important to us that our dogs are part of a family and receive all of the love and attention they deserve!

ABOUT THE BREEDER

Hello! My name is Taylor and I am excited that you’re taking the time to look through my website and learn more about me and my program. I have always been very passionate about anything that has to do with dogs ever since I was little. Seriously, I remember when I was in grade school and I would be checking out all sorts of books learning about dog breeds, dog training, everything! Some may say that I was a little dog obsessed, but who am I kidding? I still am!

Growing up, we always had dogs, but it wasn’t until 2018 that I got my first Bernese Mountain Dog to start my Bernedoodle program. Her name was Saige and she was 2 years old and only about 65lbs, which was the perfect size for me! I knew I wanted my foundation dog to be a purebred so that I could start off with my own “doodle” lines. Since then, I have added Australian Labradoodles and Cavapoos (AKA Cavoodles) to my program and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Occasionally, I also have Aussie Mountain Doodles because of my love for the Australian Shepherd. I am incredibly thankful that I am able to fulfill my passion raising these incredible puppies here in Wamego, KS on 9 lovely acres!

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?

Quality First. Not only do we health test our parent dogs, we also consider their temperament when deciding who to pair together. We will never just breed two dogs for looks. For us, ensuring that we are raising happy, healthy puppies with sound temperaments is extremely important.

Passion. We pride ourselves in raising some of the best puppies around which means we are dedicated to making sure we are raising the best doodles we can! This starts with our parent dogs that we carefully select and evaluate prior to breeding. They are all health tested to ensure that we are producing top-quality family members with great temperaments. We are also fortunate to be able to raise all of our puppies in our home. They have their own “puppy room” with whelping kennels and outside of that room they have a play area that they are able to be in when they are not with us. We start teaching our puppies to use a potty pad at about 3 weeks old and when the weather is nice they have access to our backyard to go potty! Puppy socialization and enrichment is extremely important throughout the first few months of a puppies life. We are proud to say that our puppies get to be socialized with people of all ages and dogs of different, sizes. They also are exposed to many different enrichment items and sounds! We pride ourselves in raising well-rounded doodles that can fit into any lifestyle!

Dedication to raising the best possible puppies that are ready to be a part of your family. Our puppies are handled daily, from the beginning! At day 3, we begin Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and Early Scent Introduction (ESI), which continues through day 16. As they get older, they are also introduced to new textures, sights, and sounds daily. Along with this, we also do tolerance building exercises which include touching their ears, paws, tails, and petting upwards on their back (like a younger child may do). All of these things are important to raising a well-socialized puppy that is comfortable in the “real world”.
