I'm Mike R., the breeder behind Salt-Life Doodles located in Daytona Beach, FL. Our puppies come from our loving home where we strive to produce healthy puppies. Our dam and sire are our family pets who have been genetic/health tested and OFA hip tested. We focus on early socialization to allow an easier transition into their new environments. Our puppies will not leave until 8 weeks of age. All puppies have had dew claws removed. Vet visits are done at 3 weeks of age, 5 weeks, and 8 weeks to receive their health certificates.
Jack is our F1 Aussiedoodle, weighing 40lbs and Sophie is our F1b Bernedoodle, also weighing 40lbs. Both have fantastic temperaments; they are well-mannered, friendly, affectionate, and great around kids.
We offer an in-home flight nanny with the cost of flight at buyers' expense, we are happy to offer local delivery or meet up.
