Our Breeding Program
About the Program
Doodle Run was founded from an extensive history of breeding and owning purebred dogs. We pride ourselves on not only having phenomenal animals, but a breeding program that comes full circle with consistent health testing and tremendous temperaments.
The dogs involved in our Breeding Program come from some of the highest quality Australian Shepherd and Border Collie lines this country has to offer. Our Purebred dogs often compete and earn AKC Titles. They are family members and love to be social.
Hybrid Doodles
The Doodles we offer are hybrid breeds, which means each puppy is a 50/50 split of two pure breeds. We take our purebred Austrialian Shepherds and cross them with the Poodle, resulting in the Aussiedoodle. We do the same cross with the Border Collies, resulting in the Bordoodle. This is known in the Doodle world as the first generation or F1 cross.
Because you are crossing two different breeds that have virtually no chance of inbreeding, the puppies are thought to have better genetics and have a higher fitness level, commonly referred to as hybrid vigor, than puppies from either of the original breeds.
Best of the Best
Our program for breeding the best of the best is met with years of time and effort put into our purebred dogs to create our Doodle lines. We've invested and reinvested tremendously into our parent dogs - traveling to Europe to attend shows, trails and training; sleepless nights caring for moms and newborns; dedication met with perseverance when times are bleak; remembering where we came from and why we do what we do; and our passion, which is limitless.
What sets us apart from other Aussiedoodle and Bordoodle Breeders is our dedication to breeding healthy dogs with great substance and unparalleled temperaments. Simply put, this is where form meets function producing a companion that is nothing short of exceptional. The result is a dog that is not only beautiful, but immensely intelligent and well-balanced.
Wellness Care
The breeding program is overseen by one of the top reproductive vets, and neonatal specialists in the country. To say they know our dogs inside and out is very literal. We stop at nothing when it comes to the wellness and care of our dogs.
Many people want to know how our puppies are raised and where they are raised. Puppies are whelped in our home. We are with them from the moment they take their first breath until the day they head off to their forever home. They are hand-raised with lots of love and a watchful eye.
Health Testing
Our Dogs are all health tested using OFA, CERF and Pawprints - all standards in the industry. We evaluate each dog before we make our breeding decisions for health concerns, and anticipate colors and conformations that will enhance our breeding program.
