Silver Creek Doodles

Meet the breeder

I'm Billie J., the breeder behind Silver Creek Doodles located in Rutherfordton, NC. Our program is founded upon love and respect for all things Doodle. We are dedicated to placing perfect pups into loving homes. We care about the breeds we work with and do everything in our power to pair sound, healthy dogs with the perfect families. Our dogs are fully health tested before breeding and we believe in early neurological stimulation and training using Puppy Culture in our program.

Q. & A. with Billie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I grew up on a buffalo farm in Western NC, raising a wide variety of farm animals. I then got a job working at the Wildlife Rehab for the state, raising a variety of wild animals. Needless to say, I love all kinds of animals. I got my first Goldendoodle in 2012. She is a beautiful red, wavy coated, F1b mini. I fell in love with her more than any animal I have ever reared, and I knew quickly that it was going to be the start of something wonderful!
  • What makes your program special?

    We raise true minis with a focus on temperament and conformation. We specialize in dark red and red/white tuxedos. We truly love our dogs and what we do. Each pup is cherished from the moment they are born and we do all we can to prepare them to excel within their forever homes.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Goldendoodle puppies are miniature size. Australian Labradoodle puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Goldendoodle puppies are red. Australian Labradoodle puppies include caramel and tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.
