About Us

Who are we?

Hi there, I’m Kody! Raising Goldendoodle puppies is a way for my family and I to share blessings and joy. We believe every dog deserves a family to cherish them, and every family deserves a loving, gentle-hearted dog. Our doodles are little heart healers, bringing comfort and happiness in ways only a canine companion can.

We are dedicated to healthy, happy pups and to finding them the perfect human companions. We’re passionate about changing the way breeding is done, giving dogs the love and respect they deserve. Our mission is to help these beautiful friends find loving homes and make the world a little brighter, one doodle at a time.

I’d like to invite you to learn more about our family, our program, or our sweet puppies. We share more both on our Facebook page and down below!

Sincerely,

Kody Owen

It's not just about us, together we are better!

As we treasure being these puppies first humans, we pray that you’ll be their forever humans.

Our Commitment: Story, Standards & Promise

Our past years of experience in breeding came from breeding both AKC Labradors and AKC Miniature Schnauzers, but while searching for the perfect low allergenic pet for our family, we came across the designer breed of the Goldendoodle. What a find! They are perfect because of an amazing combination of traits. Not only do Goldendoodles have an impressive list of both physical and temperamental qualities, they are also almost completely non/light-shedding and so the concern of allergies was greatly diminished! And……..as an added bonus….less shedding meant less cleaning on my part! YAY!

Breeder's Story

Next Level Matchmaking

We pride ourselves on making sure our puppies have a voice. We want to know who they are as individuals and that includes puppy evaluations at about 6 weeks old because this is when those personalities start to emerge. Who are they, what do they like, how do they play, who is brave, who wants to be held? We want to know these things so we can create a match between dog and human so the relationship will thrive. They deserve to have a voice, and we do our very best to make that happen. Visit our Temperament and Personality Evaluation page to learn more!

Sensory Exposure

Our Goldendoodle puppies are raised in our family home, following the intentional Bad Ass Breeder Program. This approach puts our puppies ahead of others. From the age of three days until they leave for their new homes at eight weeks, we follow a carefully planned sensory and evaluation routine. We do this by exposing the puppy to different smells in the environment and home. We also get it used to being touched and hearing different sounds.

They are constantly being exposed to all sorts of household and environmental noises, being handled by different people of all ages, sex and race, trained to confidently overcome physical obstacles, experience different floor surfaces, experience car rides, and so much more.

We believe that the first eight weeks of your new puppies life should be packed full of confidence building experiences solidifying that the world is safe, dogs are good and people are kind. When we do this for our puppies, they will go home with you well prepared and then can fully focus on their new family and all life and forever love has to offer them. This is truly beautiful.

ENS & ESI for Goldendoodle Puppies

At Owen-a-Doodle, we are committed to giving puppies the best start in life by implementing Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and Early Scent Introduction (ESI) during their first weeks. ENS uses gentle handling exercises that boost cardiovascular performance, strengthen immune systems, improve stress tolerance, and help puppies better adapt to new environments. Meanwhile, ESI exposes puppies to a variety of scents, enriching their natural scenting abilities and fostering confidence, curiosity, and successful outcomes in future service and therapy work. This early training lays a foundation for healthier, more resilient, and well-adjusted Goldendoodles.
