Meet the breeder

I'm Emily and Josh J., the breeder behind Rock Creek Doodles located in Whitsett, NC. Rock Creek Doodles is a small, family-based breeding program located on our family farm in Whitsett, North Carolina. Our dogs are raised in our home and outdoor spaces, surrounded by children and daily activity. We focus on health, temperament, and raising steady, well-rounded family companions.

Q. & A. with Emily and Josh

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Breeding grew naturally from our love for our dogs and our family lifestyle. As our children grew up alongside our dogs, we saw the value of raising puppies in a home—not a kennel—where they experience structure, handling, and everyday life. That conviction led us to build a small, intentional program focused on health, temperament, and responsible family placement.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our puppies are raised as part of our family on a working homestead, not in isolation. With five children, open acreage, and other animals, puppies are gently exposed to a wide range of sights, sounds, and interactions. We prioritize health testing, thoughtful pairing, and intentional early experiences to prepare puppies for real family life.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include cream, golden, brown, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
