Doodle Gardens

Meet the breeder

I'm Tina S., the breeder behind Doodle Gardens located in Lansing, MI. We breed our dogs for health and temperament. We want our families to take home a healthy, well-adjusted puppy. By using Puppy Culture, our families can easily continue with the training that has already been instilled in the puppies at our home.

Q. & A. with Tina

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Our journey started in 2018 when we got our first Doodles & fell in love with the Doodle breed. It was then that we decided to breed our doodles. At that point, we started researching the best-recommended breeding practices including appropriate age to start breeding, health testing, & much more. We also learned a lot from seasoned breeders. We continue to learn with each subsequent litter.
  • What makes your program special?

    We work daily with our puppies. Between me & my daughter, we are able to provide 24/7 care to our newborn puppies for their first 3 weeks. We also use the ENS and Puppy Culture protocol to help raise happy, confident, & loved puppies. In addition, all our parents are health tested with Embark and are not at increased risk for the genetic health conditions that Embark tests. Parents of all puppies are available for new puppy families to meet if they desire to do so.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Poodle puppies are standard size. Aussiedoodle puppies are standard size. Golden Aussiedoodle puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
