Caldron Falls Doodles and Poodles

I'm Cheryl B., the breeder behind Caldron Falls Doodles and Poodles located in Athelstane, WI. Hi my name is Cheryl and I'm the breeder behind Caldron Falls Doodles And Poodles. I've been breeding for 30+ years and always had a love for all animals since I can remember. Growing up around many animals including puppies of course, inspired me as to where I am today. I had a hobby farm for 10 years and pretty much any animal you can think of. After starting out with our family pet Ginger(Labrador Retriever) (many moons ago) and eventually moving on to Teddy Bears and German shorthairs. I retired my dogs to live out there life. All lived (total 6 ) between 16 and 17.4 years and my last passing away at the ripe old age of 17.5 years. In 2018 I purchased my first standard poodle. I've always thought they were such a beautiful regal looking dog. I love the fact that theirs no shedding and on top of that obedient, easy to train & unbelievably smart. My other half lost his Labrador of 16 years and decided after a couple of years of Mo's passing to purchase another. Mojo 2 . Labrador retrievers are excellent dogs in every way, just not a fan of shedding. And that's where the labradoodles came into play. We only planned on breeding one litter but when the litter came I realized how much I missed breeding and puppies ( oh those puppies) and decided to get back into it. Combining the traits of a Labrador with the Poodle make the most amazing puppies and that's when I fell in love with the labradoodle and decided to move forward breeding doodles and poodles. I take great pride in my adult dogs making sure they are all tested & healthy so as to produce the best quality pups. I do not kennel my dogs. Instead I have a large dog house 14x16 equipped with heat, air conditioning and big futon. Along with that I have an area for welping and puppies stay in there for the f 1st few weeks. They have all together around 13,000 sq ft of run space where they can go out as they please. They should be able play and run and just be a dogs is my belief. They are all exercised daily and have a great spoiled life. I take great pride in the work of raising healthy, socialized confident puppies. They are raised in my home with utmost care . I personally oversee their vaccinations, vet care & upbringing before they are adopted. But it all starts with healthy moms & dads. 1st & foremost my females are bred and once they reach 4 litters they are retired. People often look at only the price and think the price is so expensive. You have to look at the whole picture and that starts with your breeding females and males. They have to be kept healthy also. Vetting, UTD on yearly shots, tick & heartworm meds, testing hips, eyes, dna, then there's a place you have to house these dogs, fencing, food, treats, toys and care in general is very costly. Caring for 10 dogs the cost is immense. But I do this because I want to produce a HEALTHY puppy. Then there's also never ending hours, sleepless nights, and loss . To loose a puppy causes great heartache and it's very trying. Your wondering what you could of did or didn't do. It takes it's toll. But loss is part of it and that's the most difficult when it does happen. On the flip side there's nothing better than raising that pup, finding the right people (which can be tricky) and see the faces on these people when they come to pick that puppy up and the joy it brings makes it all worth it. This is not an easy thing because the short time I have them I get attached but my job is to build the foundation then hand them over and hope I made the right decision entrusting them to a stranger which is why it's important for me to get to know all my future buyers. I've had some truly amazing experiences from all this which I'll cherish the rest of my life. This is a very demanding job yet rewarding and I feel I'm very lucky to be able to experience this in my lifetime and do what I love to do. So with that, it's my goal to give you a forever friend and the best way to do that is to give your future dog a great start in life which is what I provide. My greatest hope is that all pups are placed with great families and have a long, healthy and happy life.
