Welcome to Destination Doodles!

We are so glad you found us.

At Destination Doodles, we are a small, in-home, family breeder based in beautiful Pleasant Grove, Utah and St. George, Utah. 

Raising happy, healthy puppies is our passion! Our puppies are all over the world with happy customers. We deliver, guarantee health and are partners with you for life!  


Who We Are

  • Loving, active family with 5 children, 3 sons-in-law, a daughter-in-law, and 6 grandchildren (and #7 due in February!)
  • Everyone plays a part in raising our puppies and caring for our parent dogs
  • Our middle daughter Hailey and her husband Jon also raise some litters at their home in St. George, Utah
  • Our oldest daughter Whitney manages our stud services

Why We Do This

  • We simply love it!
  • Our dogs bring so much joy to our lives, and we love watching our puppies bring that same joy to yours
  • Raising puppies together as a family is something we truly cherish
     

How We Raise Our Puppies

  • Puppies are whelped and raised inside our home — never in garages, kennels, or detached spaces
  • They grow up in our primary bedroom, dining room, and main family areas
  • We have a dedicated puppy nursery where they enjoy toys, socialization, and exposure to new experiences
  • Puppies hear everyday household sounds, smell cooking, and are included in our daily life from day one
     

We Focus On

  • Healthy, happy dogs
  • Early socialization with adults, kids, and other dogs
  • Daily enrichment activities and play
  • Exposure to new sights, sounds, textures, and toys
  • Beginning potty and crate training
    • Most puppies are sleeping through the night in their crates and doing great with potty habits by the time they go home
       

About Our Parent Dogs

  • Top -quality health and genetically  tested (we happily health guarantee our puppies) 
  • Great temperaments
  • Our mamas are never overbred and always receive top-notch care
  • Loved, groomed regularly, and fed a nutritious diet
  • Free to roam our home and always close to family — no isolation or confinement
  • Our mamas live with us or trusted family friends — some even have their own Instagram pages you can follow!
