What “Responsibly Bred Doodles” Means in Our Program


There is a lot of noise out “there” about doodles — how one can never be responsibly produced at all. We understand the concerns, but we also understand the heart behind why families love these dogs: ●their gentleness ●their intelligence ●their companionship, and ●the way they weave themselves into everyday life.

Here, we breed for:

✔️temperament
✔️stability, and
✔️emotional connection

And that includes our doodles.

On this page, we want to share exactly what “responsibly bred” means in our program — because our definition is grounded in ●ethics ●health ●intention, and ●love.


🤎 Our Doodles Are Purposefully and Thoughtfully Bred

For us, a responsibly bred doodle is not defined by registry papers or social media debates.  It is defined by the care behind the dogs and the future they are given.

In our program, responsibly bred doodles come from:

✔️ Parents who are fully health-tested

Both the Poodle and Australian Shepherd parents are screened for the conditions known to their breeds.
No shortcuts.
No skipping.
No guessing.

✔️ Temperament-selected lines

We do not breed “high drive to high drive.”
We select for dogs who are steady, sweet, emotionally connected, and family-focused.

✔️ Early socialization done gently and intentionally

Exposure is never forced or rushed.
We build puppies up with soft experiences that support long-term emotional health.

✔️ Lifelong breeder support for every family

We are here before placement, during placement, and forever after.

✔️ No breeding rights — ever

This ensures:
●no accidental litters
●no inexperienced crosses
●no exploitation
●no puppies landing in uncertain situations
●no contribution to shelters

Our no-rights policy eliminates the very concern critics often raise.

✔️ Transparent communication from day one

We do not hide anything.
Families always know exactly what we’re doing and why.


🤎 Why we believe responsibility is not determined by:

❌ having a breed club
❌ winning show ribbons
❌ fitting someone else’s opinion
❌ online approval

Responsibility, in our program, means:

✔️ informed decisions
✔️ thoughtful pairing
✔️ heart-centered practices
✔️ putting the puppy’s future first
✔️ prioritizing family companionship

Everything we do is intentional, transparent and grounded in care.


🤎 We Don’t Breed Doodles for Trends or High Price Tags

Our philosophy is simple:
A puppy’s value comes from the love, ethics, health testing, and intention behind it — not the “designer” trend attached to its name.

For that reason, our doodles are priced the same as our Australian Shepherds.
✔️No upcharging
✔️No “designer fees”
Just the same grounded, heart-centered approach we give every puppy we raise.

We breed doodles because they make wonderful, steady, emotionally connected family companions — and keeping our pricing aligned across breedings reflects our commitment to integrity over trend.


🤎 A Heartmender Approach to Doodles

We produce doodles to add joy to someone’s life:

✔️A steady dog.
✔️A loving dog.
✔️A dog who grows into someone’s best friend.
✔️A dog who never contributes to rescue or shelter statistics.
✔️A dog raised with intention and heart.
✔️A dog with the combined qualities of an Einstein brain and a Three Stooges sense of humor.

Our Aussiedoodles bring together the loyal, earthy style of the Australian Shepherd with the bright wit and sense of humor of the Poodle — all while offering a lower-shedding coat option for those who love the Aussie spirit, but not so much the hair.
