Northwest Mini Doodles
Meet the breeder
I'm first l., the breeder behind Northwest Mini Doodles located in Oregon. Northwest Mini Doodles is a breeder of premier Miniature Goldendoodles, Miniature Labradoodles and Double Doodles. Family owned and operated, located Eastern Oregon. We began breeding English and French Bulldogs in 2003. While we still love bully breeds, we came across a mini Goldendoodle and fell in love instantly. We chose to transition into all things doodle in 2016 and couldn’t be happier. Since, we have learned so much about this new breed. What we enjoy most , besides their teddy bear look, is their natural and instinctual urge to please. As well as their sweet, smart and friendly natured daminor. All Doodle’s are truly a living teddy bear. Our Focus… Breeding generational (F1bb, f2, f2b and multi-generational) mini Doodles between 15-25 pounds. Although Doodles were originally known as a mix breed, we believe each generation is making the Doodle an established breed. By having generational Doodles there is more consistency in the size, coat and features than having foundational lines. Our Mission… Contribute to this breed by creating only the best! Holding ourselves to the highest standard with honesty and transparentcy with full genetic panels performed by Animal Genetics Lab, Embark Lab and OFA prelimanary testing by our veterinarian on our breeding adults. Bringing healthy, happy, well rounded puppies together with loving families.
Q. & A. with first
Why did you start breeding?
Originally, 20 years ago, my daughter wanted to breed our bulldog to make a little money for college. Once we started breeding we fell in love with the process of bringing families together with their new best friend. Getting a new puppy is like welcoming a new child to the family. While exciting, it can also be scary and we enjoy being apart of that experience to educate and make it a smooth and enjoyable process. Thank you for allowing us to be apart of your family.What makes your program special?
While genetic testing and health of our dogs is important to us, we focus on breeding for behavior and personality. We focus on behavioral traits that are desired in a dog and try not to breed dogs with anxiety issues, excessive digging, barking or jumping. As these are all traits that can be genetically passed down. We are here to not just sell a dog but educate and build a community. Even if you are not buying from us, we are here to help.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include petite and miniature sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, apricot, red, and merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
