Meet the breeder
I'm Kristen R., the breeder behind Oak & Ivy Doodles located in Paragould, AR. Oak & Ivy Doodles began with a simple idea: that raising puppies should feel like raising family. What started with one gentle-tempered mother has grown into a small, intentional breeding program rooted in patience, structure, and a whole lot of love.
Q. & A. with Kristen
Why did you start breeding?
As my children began leaving the house, I still felt the need to have someone to care for. What started out as a family pet quickly transitioned to the small program we have here at Oak & Ivy Doodles. After lots of research and testing we have expanded the program to include two females and one male Bernedoodle. We also have a male goldendoodle who is their big brother.What makes your program special?
We are a small, family-focused program where our dogs are cherished members of our family and every litter is a labor of love. Our goal is to raise healthy, happy, well-socialized puppies who will become cherished members of their forever family. We strive to build lasting relationships with our puppy families and to be there to offer guidance, encouragement, and support along the way.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include mini and medium sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include brown, yellow and white, brown and white, red, chocolate merle, sable, tri-color, and merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
