I WANTED A DOODLE.
I had no idea where that would lead.
I’m Erin.
What started with wanting a doodle turned into fourteen years of raising them, learning from them, and watching what actually happens after someone says,
“I want a doodle.”
I've learned from veterinarians, fellow breeders, mentors, research, puppy families, and my own family.
And probably most of all?
The dogs themselves.
Experience gives you something Google can’t:
Watching what actually happens.
That’s the stuff we’re here to talk about. ❤️
Circa 2012 ❤️
THE BOYS GREW UP
The funny thing about building businesses around raising your kids is that eventually the kids grow up.
Mine did.
These businesses gave me something I'll always be grateful for. I was able to build something of my own without sacrificing the time I wanted with my boys.
Somewhere in the middle of survival swimming, puppies and a whole lot of life, those little boys grew up.
Turns out, we were all growing up together. ❤️
WHY SHARE MORE NOW
For years, most of what I knew about doodles was shared one family at a time.
But after fourteen years, there’s a lot more worth talking about.
Not just puppies. The dogs they become. The people who live with them. The questions people ask before getting a doodle, and the ones nobody thinks to ask until afterward.
The good stuff. The hard stuff. And everything worth knowing in between.
Turns out, wanting a doodle was only the beginning. ❤️
