I'm Josie M., the breeder behind Ducky's Doodles located in Wolcottville, IN. We're a family of in-home breeders offering quality and well loved puppies.

Q. & A. with Josie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have wanted to raise dogs since I was a kid. We have a close family friend who helped me get started and fall in love with the practice. Breeding is literally blood, sweat, and tears. They are truly man's best friend and expect the same from us.

  • What makes your program special?

    Each puppy is greatly loved by us! We ensure they are socialized, healthy, and prepared to excel in their forever homes. We take pride in our breeding program and enjoy preparing our puppies to thrive in their forever homes. We will offer continued support for new families so that they can raise their new, furry companions with confidence and joy!

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include red and white and brindle and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Josie was responsive and knowledgeable about Shih Tzus. I liked the fact that she works in a Vet office and has regular access for her breeding dogs. She stayed in touch and sent me regular photos and video updates about our puppy. Good Dog made the process easy, from the initial connection with Josie to paying securely. I'm so glad | found Josie through Good Dog, and I couldn't be happier with Chip! We've had him for 2 1/2 weeks, and he's already showing signs of knowledge to go outside when he does his business. He's the sweetest little puppy, and the whole family just loves him.

    We had an amazing experience from start to finish. Josie was extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the entire process, which made everything stress-free. Our puppy was transported by Thayer Transport Services as a Christmas surprise, and everything went perfectly. The communication, care, and professionalism were outstanding. We couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend both Ducky Doodles and Thayer Transport Services to anyone looking for a smooth, trustworthy experience.
