Our Program

Purposefully Raised. Thoughtfully Bred. Family Focused.

  • Your puppy’s health begins long before they’re born.

    Every parent in our program undergoes extensive health testing before entering our breeding program.

    We Complete:

    ✔️ OFA Hips, Elbows & Patellas Evaluations

    ✔️ OFA Cardiac & Eye Certifications

    ✔️ Full Genetic DNA Panel

    By carefully matching each breeding pair, we work to reduce the risk of inherited diseases while continually improving future generations.

  • Every breeding is planned months in advance.

    When selecting a pairing, we consider:

    • Temperament

    • Structure & Conformation

    • Coat Type

    • Size

    • Genetic Compatibility

    • Color Genetics

    • Overall Health

    No pairing is random. Every litter is thoughtfully planned with the future puppy in mind.

  • Our puppies are never raised in kennels.

    From birth until they leave for their forever families, they’re raised inside our home where they experience everyday family life.

    They become familiar with:

    • Children

    • Household noises

    • Vacuum cleaners

    • Television

    • Music

    • Visitors

    • Daily routines

    This early exposure helps create confident, adaptable puppies.

  • Beginning shortly after birth, we incorporate age-appropriate developmental exercises designed to support healthy neurological growth.

    As puppies mature, they continue to receive enrichment through:

    • New textures

    • Different sounds

    • Confidence-building activities

    • Age-appropriate obstacle courses

    • Problem-solving games

    • Outdoor exploration

    • Positive social experiences

  • We believe temperament is just as important as appearance.

    Our goal is to produce puppies that are:

    ♡ Calm

    ♡ Confident

    ♡ Intelligent

    ♡ Social

    ♡ Family-oriented

    ♡ Easy to Train

    Whether you’re looking for a hiking buddy, a family companion, or a best friend to cuddle on the couch, temperament is always our priority.

  • Our puppies receive exceptional care from day one.

    Before going home, they receive:

    ✔️ Age-appropriate vaccinations

    ✔️ Routine deworming

    ✔️ Comprehensive veterinary examination

    ✔️ Health records

    ✔️ Microchip

    ✔️ Individual health assessment

    We also focus on premium nutrition to give each puppy the healthiest possible start.

  • Before going home, puppies are introduced to:

    • Crate training

    • Potty (turf) training foundations

    • Grooming

    • Nail trims

    • Bath & blow drying

    • Car rides

    • Basic handling

    Each puppy also receives age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, a veterinary exam, and health records.

  • Our commitment doesn’t end on go-home day.

    We’re here to support you with training, nutrition, grooming, and any questions throughout your dog’s life.

  • When you choose Island Doodles, you’re choosing an ethical breeding program focused on health, temperament, transparency, and lifelong support.

    Because every puppy deserves the very best start—and every family deserves the perfect companion.
