You wanted a doodle.
We know what happens next.
Fourteen years of doodles, countless lessons learned,
and a lot more to talk about than puppies.
Whether you’re thinking about one, already living with one,
or absolutely certain yours is the best doodle on the
planet...
You’re in the right place.
Let’s clear some things up.
Can somebody really promise you a mini?
Why are some doodle coats so much harder to maintain than others?
Boy or girl? Does it actually matter?
And what does all that genetic testing really tell you?
I have thoughts. 😂
Fourteen years of raising doodles has taught me a lot. But I don't rely on experience alone. I believe good advice comes from understanding both what I've seen firsthand and what the science tells us.
IT’S BEEN A WHILE. ❤️
We’d love your PUPdate.
Some of my favorite messages are the ones that show up years later. Send me a picture. Tell me how they’re doing. Tell me the ridiculous thing they’re currently obsessed with.
I’ve watched puppies become dogs, families come back for another, and children who grew up with an I Want A Doodle puppy return as adults for one of their own.
Getting the puppy was only the beginning. ❤️
THINKING ABOUT GETTING ONE?
Finding a doodle is easy.
Choosing the right one is harder.
Size. Coat. Temperament. Lifestyle. Health testing. Genetics. The breeder.
And sometimes whether a doodle is really the right dog for you at all.
I've helped families find the right doodle, even when that meant they weren't getting one from me.
Good advice should still be good advice when it doesn’t make the sale.
Intentional breeding has always been at the heart of I Want A Doodle.
We don’t always have puppies available.
Current availability: None
I WANTED A DOODLE.
I had no idea where that would lead.
I started out on a pretty traditional path: University of Florida grad (Go Gators! 🐊), then a career in advertising and marketing. Things got considerably less traditional from there.
I can thank three boys for that. ❤️ Somewhere along the way, building businesses that allowed me to be there while they were growing up became more important than following the career path I’d started on.
First came survival swimming.
Then Goldendoodles.
Fourteen years later, I have a lot of stories. And even more opinions. 😂

Have a doodle? You’ll fit right in. 🐾
Good information, favorite finds, and the things I think are actually worth sharing.
No endless emails. Your doodle already demands enough attention. 😉
