I'm Flo V., the breeder behind Doodle Nation located in Bruno, MN. Doodle Nation is proud to be cage-free. All of our dogs and puppies are part of our family and live in our home with us. When retired they remain with us, they are beloved family members and will remain family their entire life.
Q. & A. with Flo
Why did you start breeding?
I'm an animal lover & always wanted to raise puppies but thought that I'd need to kennel my dogs which I'm way too soft to do. We adopted our first horse from a cage-free breeder, we knew from that point on that we could do this. We are dedicated to the cage-free lifestyle & making sure our pack has the best life possible. They live in our home with us full time & are taken on adventures!
What makes your program special?
We're cage-free, all of our dogs and puppies live in our home with us full time! All our parent dogs have had genetic testing. Our puppies are raised with ENS, receive oral care & grooming, are taken on car rides & listen to sensory CD's to help them prepare for the world that awaits them. We are licensed and inspected by the MN Board of Animal Health & are a MN Breeder of Excellence task force member.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Goldendoodle puppies are standard size. Bernedoodle puppies are standard size. Labradoodle puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
