I'm Terhya N., the breeder behind North Ridge Doodles located in Strathcona , MN. At North Ridge Doodles we raise Aussiedoodle puppies that are highly trainable, healthy, and did I mention adorable?! All of our puppies are raised right in our home making them well socialized and begging for human attention by the time they are ready to go to their "fur-ever" homes.
Q. & A. with Terhya
Why did you start breeding?
I worked for a good friend, also my mentor for a little over a year. I then purchased my first dogs and continued to work for her between litters. This helped me feel so much more prepared.
What makes your program special?
We do not have any children, and my husband has a great job allowing me to stay home with the dogs 24/7. I get to be with them day in and day out making it so I really know my puppies. This helps me find the perfect puppy for each of my customers. Also living in the country our breeding dogs get to live life out of kennels and really get to enjoy being part of the family.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include mini and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
