Meet the breeder

I'm Susie W., the breeder behind Twin City Doodles located in Maryville, TN. Twin City Doodles strives to produce healthy, well-structured and allergy-friendly Goldendoodles with amazing temperament and vitality. Our parents are both health tested for clearances of genetic disorders that are common with both the Golden Retriever and the Poodle. The parents are also physically tested for any congenital health defects.

Q. & A. with Susie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I was always interested in breeding, but I was also raising triplets. Now they have grown and I felt the time was right. Funny thing is, taking care of puppies is a lot like taking care of premie triplets.

  • What makes your program special?

    I have taken the time to make sure I only breed health tested dogs. I have been implementing the Puppy Culture program and I am also a Blue Ribbon Breeder with GANA. My puppies are raised in my home and cared for by me and my family. We love all of our animals and consider them to be part of our family.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies include medium and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include cream, apricot, red, chocolate, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
