I'm Amanda S., the breeder behind Dream Doodles and Cockapoos located in Rockton, IL. All of our dogs are loved as family members. We cherish our puppies from birth up until they leave our arms to snuggle into yours! In order to start our puppies off on the right paw, we begin training and socializing at a young age so they are set up for success in their new homes. We prioritize the health and well-being of each one of our puppies and follow all appropriate puppy health protocols.
Q. & A. with Amanda
Why did you start breeding?
My parents have been raising puppies my whole life and I grew up with a house full of dogs of all kinds! I've been dog trainer for almost five years, and I eventually started to have my own litters and I love that my kids are growing up with the same experiences I had in my childhood.
What makes your program special?
Any of our puppies are able to go into our Started Puppy Training Program for an extra two or four weeks, starting when your puppy turns 8 weeks old.
In the program, they will begin crate training and have a great start with house training. They will be sleeping through the night, know the commands sit/down, and walk nicely on a leash. They will go on short car rides as apart of their training.
Socialization is the key to success in bringing home your new puppy. Crate training done properly is a lifesaver for dog owners! If a dog is taught through positive reinforcement, they will love the crate and then it becomes his/her own private and safe place. Our Started Puppy training program is perfect for busy families that could use a great start! Please call me for further details and with any questions, you may have. 267-259-8153.
The full price of your puppy is due before training begins, then the training fee is due after training is completed.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Bernedoodle puppies are mini size. Australian Labradoodle puppies are miniature size. Cockapoo puppies are mini size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Bernedoodle puppies include tri-color and phantom. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
