Nikki has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.
Nikki partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 7 weeks old.
“We do things a little differently than volume breeders, our priority is placing each puppy in the right home for their temperament, energy level, and future lifestyle fit. For this reason, we don’t open individual puppy selection based on photos. Instead, we evaluate puppies through our structured development program, including: ✔ Early Neurological Stimulation & Early Scent Introduction ✔ Weekly observations and development notes ✔ Continual temperament evaluations ✔ Daily handling exercises, socialization and desensitization Once we know who each puppy truly is, we work with families in waitlist order to match them with a puppy that fits their goals and lifestyle. 📌 Puppy matching occurs at 6–7 weeks This ensures families don’t choose simply from pictures, they choose the pup who is confident, stable, and the very best match for their family. We don’t sell puppies… we place future family members. ”

“The price includes my health guarantee, first vaccinations and deworming. All puppies are raised on a socialization and desensitization curriculum.”
Nikki may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Nikki offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Nikki directly.

🍂 SIX WEEKS of Farmers Market cuteness! 🥹🐾 Our Farmers Market toy/ mini Aussiedoodles are officially SIX weeks old, and I swear they look more grown up every single day! 😭❤️ Weaning is well underway, their little personalities are really starting to shine, and they’re becoming more independent by the day. They’re playful, curious, full of personality, and getting into all kinds of puppy mischief! It’s hard to believe that in just a couple of weeks, these babies will be heading off on their next big adventures. 🥹 🖤 And then there’s our sweet Pickles! 🖤 Somehow, this handsome little guy is still waiting for his people, and I truly cannot figure out how! He’s the sweetest, most playful little boy with a personality that reminds me so much of his daddy, Bruce. 🥹❤️ He’s affectionate, fun loving, and has a way of making you fall a little more in love with him every day. I know his perfect family is out there, and I would absolutely love to see this special little boy find them! If you’ve been thinking about adding a little Aussiedoodle to your family, don’t overlook our Pickles! And if he’s not the one for you, sharing his pictures might just help him find the people he’s been waiting for. 🫶 🍁 Our Farmers Market trio is showing off their adorable fall bows from @doggypawsshop! 🛍️ Use code BOXCAR10 to save on your order! 🔗 Link to shop in our Linktree!

FIVE WEEKS with our Farmers Market Aussiedoodles 🍁 I swear they woke up this week and decided to become actual little dogs. 😂 Their personalities are coming out more every day, they’re getting braver and sillier, and playtime has officially become serious business. Honey continues to be our tiny little model and apparently understood the assignment. Squash had places to go and absolutely no time for my picture taking nonsense. 😂 And Pickles is quite possibly the sweetest, most playful little guy. There is something about him that reminds me so much of his daddy, Bruce, which makes me love him just a little extra. If you know me, you know Bruce is my soul dog. 🥹🖤 They’re playing, exploring everything, putting those new little teeth to work and becoming more fun by the day. Five weeks is one of my favorite stages because this is when we really start getting glimpses of who they are. Sweet Pickles is still our last little Farmers Market guy waiting for his people. I have a feeling someone is going to wonder how in the world he was the last one. 🥹 And can we talk about their bows?! All three are wearing @trixeyrayboutique for their five week pictures.

🌻 The Farmers Market Aussiedoodle litter are 3 Weeks old! Three weeks with our tiny trio, and suddenly there are puppies on the move! 🥹 Honey, Pickles & Squash are officially toddling around on those wobbly little legs, and watching them figure out how their bodies work might be one of my favorite stages. This week also marks the beginning of more intentional daily handling and exposures. We’re introducing new sensations, sounds, surfaces and gentle experiences in tiny, age appropriate doses. Building on all of the development happening naturally right now. We are so excited to see their little personalities begin to peek through, and over the next few weeks that’s going to become so much fun to watch. And can we talk about how much they’ve changed already?! 😭 Swipe through for two photos of each of our Farmers Market babies: 🌻 Honey 🥒 Pickles 🎃 Squash Locally grown with love 🌱🤎 #BoxcarDoodlesAndPoodles #FarmersMarketLitter #AussiedoodlePuppies #Aussiedoodles #ThreeWeeksOld #PuppyDevelopment #LocallyGrownWithLove

Sometimes plans change and through absolutely no fault of her own, our sweet Lambie is once again looking for the right place to call home 🤍 While we certainly didn’t expect to be sharing her again, there is a pretty wonderful upside for the family who finds her now. Lambie will be 11 weeks old Thursday and has spent these extra weeks right here with us continuing to learn. She is kennel trained and sleeping through the night, is doing wonderfully with potty training, and we’ve started working on other everyday foundations. Most importantly, she is just an absolutely incredible little girl. There’s a reason she was the puppy I chose from this litter to potentially be part of the future of Boxcar Doodles. She is sweet, smart, affectionate and truly such a joy to have here. At this point, I’m open to finding Lambie either an exceptional guardian family or the perfect companion home. For a companion home, Lambie will be placed as a started puppy. As a started puppy, her placement will reflect the additional time and training that has gone into her. As she continues progressing with us, that will adjust accordingly. So there is certainly no rush on our end. 🥰 We’ll keep loving her, teaching her and enjoying this ridiculously sweet girl until exactly the right family comes along. If you’ve been wishing you could skip some of those very first puppy stages while still bringing home a young puppy, Lambie might just be your girl 🤍

Two weeks with the Farmers Market Aussiedoodles 🧺 The tiny trio continues to get chunkier by the day, and we’ve reached the stage where things are about to start changing FAST. Pickles decided to be the first one to give us a little peek at those eyes yesterday. 👀 Honey and Squash are apparently in no hurry and are keeping theirs closed just a little longer. For now, life is still pretty simple around here: eat, sleep, snuggle with mama, get handled and loved on, and repeat. Two weeks of Honey, Pickles & Squash. 🍯🥒🎃 Our little Farmers Market is growing right before our eyes 🐾

And last but definitely not least… Squash! 🎃🖤 Our second little merle boy rounds out the Tiny Trio, and I swear these three get cuter and chubbier by the day. 😂 Honey 🍯, Pickles 🥒 & Squash 🎃 the smallest little Farmers Market crew we’ve ever had, but I think their names might be some of my favorites. Now that you’ve met all three, which name is your favorite?! 🌻

About Skye
Skye is the kind of dog that stops people in their tracks, equal parts stunning and unforgettable. With her striking snow capped coat, soulful blue eyes, and confident presence, she embodies everything we love about the Old English Sheepdog. Beyond her looks, Skye has a personality that truly sets her apart. She is playful, intuitive, and deeply loyal to her people and pack, with a natural instinct to watch over and care for those around her. She has a fun, slightly stubborn streak that keeps life entertaining, but she is also incredibly in tune with her environment and thrives in a structured, engaged home. Health and structure are just as important as temperament in our program, and Skye proudly holds an OFA rating of Excellent for her hips, a distinction that reflects her exceptional quality and the intentionality behind her lineage. We have high hopes for Skye as a future foundation female in our program. She brings together beauty, intelligence, and heart in a way that we are excited to pass on to the next generation.

This is so much more than just buying a puppy. It was truly an experience from start to finish. Nikki provided numerous updates and videos throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail and responsiveness is second to none. Being included with the entire litter and their future owners was so special. I joined the waitlist for a sheepadoodle about 5 weeks before they were able to come home and Nikki’s updates, photos and videos added to the excitement and anticipation during those weeks of waiting. She is extremely responsive and thorough. I highly recommend Boxcar Doodles and Poodles.

I found Nikki at Boxcar Doodles and Poodles after months of searching, and she exceeded every expectation. From the first message, she was warm, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable — she helped us figure out exactly which puppy would fit our family, not just which one was available. Our puppy Winston arrived healthy, well-socialized, and confident, and you can tell Nikki poured real care into raising him. She answered every question I’ve had since, even the silly ones, and made the whole process feel personal instead of transactional. If you’re looking for a breeder who treats her dogs like family and her buyers like friends, look no further. Nikki, thank you for our newest family member!!

We truly cannot say enough good things about our experience with Nikki. From the very beginning, it was clear that her program is built on intention, knowledge, and a genuine love for what she does. We spent a significant amount of time researching breeders, focusing on health testing, temperament, structure, and ethical practices, and Nikki consistently stood out. The thought and care she puts into pairing each puppy with the right family gave us so much confidence in the process. Her communication is exceptional. The weekly litter updates were something we genuinely looked forward to. They weren’t just updates, they showed how closely each puppy was being observed, handled, and understood. It was clear from day one that these puppies are raised with purpose, not just care. And there were some great puppy silliness videos mixed in that added to the anticipation of welcoming home our new pup! ❤️ We especially appreciated the use of Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and the intentional early socialization. You can see the impact of that foundation already. We ultimately flew across the country to bring Orion home, and we would do it again without hesitation. That alone speaks volumes about the level of trust we had in Nikki and her program. What stood out most was her thoughtful matching process. Orion is so perfectly aligned with our family. It genuinely feels like he was handpicked for us. He’s confident, affectionate, curious, and already showing that people-focused temperament we were hoping for (plus a little “furry potato meets Tasmanian devil” energy that keeps us laughing daily). If you’re looking for a breeder who prioritizes health, temperament, ethical practices, and lifelong support, Nikki is truly exceptional. We are incredibly grateful for her and would recommend her wholeheartedly.

We had an overall great experience working with Nikki. She was excellent at communicating the entire process to us from start to finish. We actually came into this process as the very last family to get to choose a puppy and I wouldn’t change a thing. Our pup is the sweetest, cutest thing and has the best temperament. It is apparent Nikki cares deeply about the animals.

I was 1st introduced to Nikki thru the Good Dog App in July 2026. We were looking for an F1 Sheepadoodle puppy. We recieved an absolute princess of an 8wk old female Sheepadoodle we named "Grace". We were at 1st inclined to name her Willow, but after bringing her home and observing her, that name had to change. Working with Nikki, as the breeder, was an absolute pleasure and stress free experience. Nikki kept us posted with weekly updates, pictures, and videos of the pups growth, playtime, and some shenanigans that pups do. Sometimes the updates were more frequent. Nikki was always quick to answer and respond to questions or requests. After patiently waiting for the pup to turn 8 weks old, Nikki agreed to meet us halfway at a travel destination for delivery. Nikki gave us great pointers on making it home in the car without having any messes. We followed her instructions and the ride home was mess free. We know Nikki put the time and effort into daily puppy routines such as potty and crate training. We know because we've had our girl home for 1 week now and not once has she messed in the house or crate. Her crate training and potty training have been so easy. I give credit to Nikki's earlier puppy stimulation and training routine. Our puppy's personality and traits are as advertised by Nikki's early observations in the days leading up to puppy draft day (puppy selection day). The day after our dog was home we took her to the vet and she recieved a clean bill of health and the Vet complimented her overall health and appearance. I give Nikki the highest rating and recommend her services to anybody looking for a trusted and ethical breeder!

Nikki was amazing! We purchased a beautiful and sweet AussieDoodle girl. The communication and updates with pictures, videos, status of the pups, what they are doing, what she is doing with them for socialization, training, etc. She is doing what she was meant to do! Our puppy is awesome and I know Nikki invests all of her love and energy into ensuring a happy and healthy puppy. We will definitely be going to Nikki again if we decide to add another puppy to our family.
