Meet the breeder

I'm Karen N., the breeder behind Smarti Doodles located in Connersville, IN. We work hard to produce healthy, well-rounded Bordoodle puppies that will make others as happy as our dogs have made us! We raise our litters in our home to help set the foundation for happy and confident puppies to transition well into their forever homes. It’s a privilege to have the opportunity to make an impact on each individual puppy!

Q. & A. with Karen

  • Why did you start breeding?

    People that choose to purchase a puppy rather than adopt from a shelter deserve to have access to puppies that are healthy and given an amazing start to a happily ever after by responsible breeders. I am that responsible breeder and I pour my heart and soul into producing awesome puppies.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our mommas and pappas are family, they live in our house and are pets and working dogs first (herding dogs). Our puppies are born in the house and raised by our family. They are raised following puppy culture protocols and given a great start to an amazing life. They will be conditioned to many everyday life experiences and early training started as well as professional veterinary care provided.

  • 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 black and white and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Wally has been great so far! Karen made the dog buying process very easy and was very informative throughout the entire process. Wally has gotten along great with my nephews and enjoys long walks at the park!

    Karen and her family took such good care of our pup before he joined our family. I did a lot of research before choosing this breed, and I had a lot of questions. Everything Karen said he was proved to be true! He was well behaved, crate trained, and we could tell he had seen a lot of love. Our vet gave him a clean bill of health as well. Very happy that we chose Smarti Doodles!

    Smarti Doodles was very helpful and responsive throughout the entire process and took great care of Perseus before we brought him home! They took the time to answer any questions we had, and we really appreciated that they openly shared the parents' genetic testing results so we could be confident that both parents were healthy. Percy is an intelligent, happy, and healthy boy who has made a great addition to our family!
