I'm JoAnna, the breeder behind McCormack Morkies + Merle Doodles located in Franklin, TN. All of our puppies are raised using ENS (early neurological stimulation) & Puppy Culture protocols. Puppies have started clicker & potty training. They have health tested parents & will come with a health guarantee + lengthy contract that includes lifetime breeder support. We are very selective when it comes to families for our puppies… we only want the best!
Please check our FB & IG to see many videos of the environment our puppies are raised in. I take pride in my breeding program & pour everything I can into each & every puppy.
Q. & A. with JoAnna
Why did you start breeding?
I am a huge dog lover and wanted to bring joy to other people’s lives through dogs like my own.
What makes your program special?
Our puppies are raised in our home and truly become family; we are very attached to our babies. We keep their whelping pen in our bedroom & make sure it stays very clean (puppy pad & litter training). Puppies are extremely well socialized; they even cuddle in bed with us for a few hours every night. Our puppies are exposed to people of all ages and dogs of all sizes.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Double Doodle puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Morkie puppies include black & tan tri-color, white, black and gold, and black and tan. Double Doodle puppies include merle, gray, silver-beige, phantom, cream, silver, light golden, golden, dark golden, brown, white, red, chocolate, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
