Approved Good Dog Breeder

Welcome to Destination Doodles! We are a small, loving, in-home, family breeder. We do this because we love it. Our dogs have brought so much happiness to our home and we love watching our puppies bring happiness to others by bringing joy, laughter and warming hearts and homes with love and companionship. We also love working together, as a family, to raise puppies. We live in the beautiful state of Utah and have 5 children and a son-in-law, a daughter-in-law, and two beautiful grandchildren. We are an active family that loves to do lots of different things together. 

We are passionate about our dogs and about every single puppy born here! Each puppy we raise becomes a huge part of our family and is raised as if it were our own. We carefully nurture, train, and raise puppies to be lifetime family members destined for your loving home. Our puppies are always with us and are well socialized with many people of all ages and with our other dogs. We live on a 1/2 acre with a fenced yard, ideal for raising puppies. 

Our puppies are whelped and raised inside our home and live in our master bedroom, dining room, main floor family room. They hear family noises, smell the smells of cooking and are constantly watched over and loved. We also have a bonus room, or a dedicated puppy nursery in the center of our home where we have lots of playtime and exposures of different items and toys, etc. We don't use our garage, outside separate kennels or detached nurseries to keep dogs or puppies in.  Although we have a garage and basement, we can't overstate how strongly we feel about having all of our puppies raised  inside our home with us and being treated as family members from the start. We  have many stimulating toys, sounds, activities, etc., we perform daily with our puppies so they are prepared for many experiences they may encounter in life. We also begin a good, structured foundation for potty and crate-training. Most of our puppies are doing well with potty raining and are sleeping through the night in crates when they go home.  Our mamas are family and are precious to us and are always treated like queens. They are free to roam our home and are never boxed into whelping rooms, stalls, nurseries or left alone. We health test our parents and honor our mamas by not over breeding them, we give them healthy diets, we bathe and groom them often, and give them an abundance of love and attention. Most of our mamas have Instagram accounts where you can follow and watch them living as happy and loving dogs.

All our puppies are raised using Puppy Culture and BAB Protocols. These are professional and proven training courses, starting at birth, that dramatically shapes a puppy's personality, intelligence, demeanor, and health.
