The Doodle Den
Meet the breeder
I'm Kelsey W., the breeder behind The Doodle Den located in Council Bluffs, IA. As an ethical breeder, The Doodle Den prioritizes quality over quantity. Pups are never raised in kennels; instead, they are integrated into the busy, noisy flow of a real home. Their philosophy centers on the belief that a dog’s well-being is rooted in intentional care from the first days of life.
