From California here. As a widow and senior I have enjoyed all your videos and your sharing of your life and puppies. Fills some empty spots in my life and heart. ❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾
Thank you
Oh I am so glad we can bring joy. ❤️
I love everything about your business practices, puppies, and family. You're doing an amazing job with your channel and I wish you continued love and success!
What a huge compliment!
You should create another channel to live stream the babies from your cameras when they are in the nursery! Livestreams with puppies are the BEST!
Oh that would be fun.
So interesting to hear the history of your business. I had no idea you were so new to CZcams as you sound like a pro. I live in London UK and will not be getting a dog from you but I love your dedication and the way you care for your puppies and if I was in the US you would be my top breeder to buy from. I hope your channel and business goes from strength to strength. I'm sure it will
Thank you so much!!!!
Love seeing how your business has evolved and just improved to a top notch breeder !! Job well done!!! You keep improving !!! ❤️ love love !!!!
Thank you so much!
I’m in Australia and absolutely LOVE what you do,if l was in America l would want to be on your list,the work and love you put into these mummy dogs and their precious pups is just amazing,bless you for that,🙏💗💙
I love that you call them mummy’s … so adorable!
I really enjoy all your videos. Especially because you treat your dogs so well. Thank you for sharing your path to getting where you are now!
Thank you!
I wait all week for your video. Thanks so much for allowing us to be a part of your experiences.
That is so sweet! Thank you!
We LOVE your videos and can’t believe how young the channel is bc y’all are so good at making them! ❤
I will send that comment over to JP right now!
So glad y’all decided to do CZcams. I enjoy your amazing videos ❤
Thank you so much!
I couldn’t be more pleased for your dogs and your business. Blessings to all🐾🥰🐾
Thank you Josie!
Hello from Ontario Canada! Thank you for sharing your business and your personal lives with us - much admiration, gratitude and respect for you, JP and the girls (you too Bella!). You've truned me into a "doodle fan". I do prefer the minis though!
Awww thank you Pam!
Cannot believe you just started this channel this year. Feels like am a “guest” for so much longer. Enjoying your videos and all the stories around every litter.
Thank you! What a great connection we have!
I am a PT too. I loved hearing your story . We have a 1 year old doodle. I joke with my husband about becoming a doodle breeder. 😂 Congratulations on making it work!
Oh thank you!!!! What setting are you in!?
Knowing that you are a physical therapist explains to me why you are so wonderful with your handling of the dogs and puppies. Constant touching is very soothing. You are the best.
That is so sweet thank you!
How’s Miss Rosie doing?
She’s doing amazing! A perfect puppy
@@DoodlesofNC Thats great to hear!!
Thank you for welcoming the world to you, JP and the girls. It was so sweet to see the girls so young and the two of you growing such a successful business. I believe that you have a gift for raising these beautiful puppies. All people want is honesty and you definitely have warmed our hearts by it. Harper Grace is a celebrity in our town. Thank you, again🐶🐶🐶
Tell Harper to sign all the autographs she wants!
Hi Erin, you and JP did a great job on remodeling your home to accommodate the puppies. It looks beautiful. Did you take any classes on dog /puppy training? You seem like such a natural. Can't wait for the next set of puppies to be born.
We have worked with many trainers to help with understanding dogs!
We just got a Black Goldendoodle and your channel has been great since its my son's dog and I want to be the best fur grandmommy, thank you for all the help and your dogs are so good and the puppies well they are precious and we love our Ellie who is now 12 weeks old!
Oh I am so glad! The black ones are so cute! I’m sure you’ll be a great puppy grandma!
This was a cute video. It was fun to hear your stories!
Thank you!
I think you made all the right decisions for your business. I love watching the puppies. And If I can convince my husband that our next dog should be a doodle, I'd love to get it from you. Thank you for sharing your story.
That would be amazing!
You have made it to this side of the world! We are from Ga, but work in China! We love to watch each video and are very impressed with your love and care for each of the Doodles in your home!
That is amazing!!! Hello in China!
It is amazing how far you guys have progressed in a relatively short period of time. And the quality of your videos make watching fun. I wish more breeders were like you guys but unfortunately that is not the case and the others give breeders a bad reputation.
Right. It is all JP! He has done amazing work!
Thank you for sharing your journey with us! I think I probably found you when you started your youtube channel. We had just gotten our Golden retriever a few months before. I'm so glad that people get to see their puppy grow and mature through your videos. You have worked so hard to make all the guardian moms feel so welcome in your home. You can see it in the way they interact with you and your family. It just makes me happy. I love that they're not just your guardian pups but they and their families are also a part of your family as well. Congratulations!
What’s your golden’s name! Thank you!
What a nice, peaceful set up for the new moms.
Are the sounds from the nurseries disruptive to the mom and pups in the adjoining nursery in the same room?
Thanks!
They can actually!! So we use air filters to help drown out noises. And they get used to it a few days after new babies are born.
This was such a lovely video, so fun to see/ learn about “the olden days” lol I’m so happy things are going so well! 😊
I know! The olden days are fun to review
Love all your videos!
Thank you!
I'm in Australia and love your channel. I follow many of your ideas and greatly appreciate your knowledge
That is awesome! Hello to Australia!
I love that you showed the beginning! This is encouraging knowing you can start form very basic and add on to your program over time. Thanks for another great video!
awww thank you so much!
How’s Rosie? Love watching your channel!😊
She’s amazing!!! Doing so good
Your channel is so precious! I’m learning so much here in south Fl expecting our first litter.
Oh that is exciting!!!
You guys are naturals! I truly thought you must of been making these videos for years! Thanks for the insight around your business. LOVED the house tour aswell 💜
Oh your so sweet
For all new breeders, try using a black play pen and not a kiddy pool it’s more calming for your mother’s and pup’s rather than a kiddy pool 😉 (Make sure it has a top)
Good advice for new breeders.
You guys are the best! We are so happy you guys made our Saoirse ❤️ we all love her so much.
I love y’all to John!
Love to watch your videos. The puppies are adorable with your loving care!
thank you so much!
Love hearing the background of your business and the leap of faith your family took.
Thank you so much!!
Such a great video! Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome!
I love your videos. Doodles are a little to big for my family but that doesn’t make them any less adorable!
Maybe you can get a micro doodle one day!
@doodlesofnc What's a micro doodle. Would love one of your pups, but really want in the range of 15-25 pounds since we are getting older. I hadn't heard of a micro ...
Well I love the videos of all the babies. I love watching you do your routine. I am not a breeder or a doodle owner. I miss the puppy stage in my dogs and just get my "fix" from watching you. I love your organization skills and love how much love you put into your program, mommas and babies. Thanks for having me over, I am glad it is all going so well for ya'll. :) I secretly would love a doodle it's just not in the cards for us right now. I have too many furries as it is right now. LOL But, we love our babies. If I move to live on a farm or get a bigger house then maybe. Oh and have more money, that too. LOL
Hahaha I’m glad we can help get your fix!
Wonderful family. Great development of your business side of your loving breeding program. Thanks for
sharing with us.
Thank you!!
Great video...the world needs better breeders like you.
Wow, thank you
What a great video! You guys are so warm and genuine...it's a pleasure to follow your channel and watch your business grow...Congratulations on your successes and maybe one day I'll be on your deposit list!
Thank you Addie!!!!
I love your videos and look forward to them each week. They make me feel part of the puppy families!
Thank you!!!!
So awesome! Thanks for sharing your story!
Your so welcome!!!!
I really liked this video. It was fun to hear your history and I enjoyed seeing your husband.
Thanks! I should make him come on screen more often!
Thank you for sharing your story. Happy that you’ve been able to enjoy what you do. Love watching those puppies and the care and training you provide. Maybe some day I’ll be able to get on your list. Goals.
We’d love to help!!!
Love love watching you with these pups❤
Thank you!
That’s a beautiful story 😊 thank you for sharing ❤
You are so welcome
Thank you for sharing this video! Congrats on your journey, and many more years of success.
Thank you so much
I love your videos!!! We had a labradoodle named Champ. He was a skinny 99 pound black labradoodle. So tall you could pet him without bending over. He had to leave us at 12 years and 5 months of age. He was so smart and such a sweet heart. Probably how I found your you tube channel. I am so impressed with how well you take care of all dogs and puppies at your home. I have 2 labs right now. I wish they had the best starts in life that your pups get. Am curious on your opinions on adult dog food. Perhaps you can offer your thoughts. Again congrats to your family on such a great channel.
We love Fromm dog food! I’m so glad you had a good experience with an doodle!
I do yorkies love it
So cool! Yorkies are cute
Very fun hearing how you got started. TFS. 😀
Your so welcome!
I love all your videos! Dreams do come true with a lot of hard work
Hard and fun work for sure
Love this thank you for the insight into your love of those puppies..... Great job you two!!!
Thank you!!!
This was super interesting. I’m glad that ur lists r good! It’s also been an awful year because of inflation. Grocery prices are insane! I wish u continued success!
Groceries are insane! I can’t get over it either. Thank you for the well wishes
Very enjoyable content
Glad you think so!
Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Your so welcome!
Mmmm 🤔 here a super really good idea for a utube video.. maybe a actually break down of cost (white broad) style and where to get started... I have cavaliers... And would love to know where the most efficient was to spend the money.. Trying to priority where to get started.. type of things. 🤔 Pss. This one was great!🤗
Thanks for the idea!
Thank you for sharing. Love the channel.
Thank you!!
I looooove your videos♥️...
We loooove you too!
I’m so excited about your potty trays. When do you think they’ll be ready for us to order? Thx!!❤️🐶
They are currently on pre order. Hoping to start shipping out in December!!!
Great video. Sending thanks from Ohio
Hey Ohio!
Having watched many, many of your videos, I would buy a puppy from you. I hope to some day.
I can’t wait to help you! One day will come sooner than you think!
With over 3.3M innocent dogs sitting in shelters in the US, with MANY more homeless, it boggles the mind that this is about celebrating bringing more puppies into the world. Yes, I am sure to receive a lot of backlash for this comment, BUT I will always speak on behalf of the innocent.
Not everyone wants a shelter dog. Not everyone is equipped to handle shelter dogs or dogs that previously lived on the streets. And the really good shelters who are focused on finding the best homes can be expensive or have requirements that don't work. For example, I went to our local spca to see about meeting a dog on their site. He was still available, approx 2yrs old standard poodle. But was denied because our fence isn't a 6 ft privacy fence and our kid is under 12. After talking to the shelter staff, I understood why those are requirements for that particular dog but then how do we get the dog we want? Find a reputable breeder. Or hope that a poodle puppy comes available at a shelter within a reasonable distance.
And we aren't spending 15k or more to upgrade our perfectly good (and only 2 yr old) fence so we meet the requirements of the local shelters.
At least this family loves each pup and does what they can to find loving homes for their dogs. The momma dogs are well loved.
I agree there are a need, but we only breed what we know we can sell. We would never add to the population without the demand.
On average 670 000 dogs are euthanized yearly in the us.
Lovely set up for the mommies and the pups. That was a huge financial undertaking.
I am surprised though that you don't mention how you match up families (maybe you did in a previous video) with the puppies in regards to the individual personalities of the puppies. I know my breeder who had a client that already had 1 havanese looking for a 2nd from same breeder was adamant to get 1 specific pup, was warned might be too much dog, well, you guessed it, was returned.
Also I cringe when I hear potential owners, with no previous dog experience, ask for a specific colour🤦♀️ In the equestrian world there is a saying ' a good horse is never of a bad colour.'
And in my case, with my 2 bonded rehomed hav, where the female was traumatized by the male of the household, every 6 months she is still changing, from the petrified skinny shy dog to the welcoming, cuddling dog she is today.
We guide our families to a chose, but they on the end have then final decision. We don’t pair them.
I love watching all the care and love ❤️ you give these adorable puppies and their Moms! I watch your videos all the time, don’t always leave comments, I am amazed to see all you do. These are probably some of the most cared for and loved puppies and Moms in the breeding circle. I am sure that you will always be successful in what ever you do. Wishing you all the success you deserve because from what I see from your videos you are soo reputable and have earned what ever comes your way.
Donna, thank your for those kind words!!!
Love your videos! That is how we found you. Now we are on the puppy waiting list.
Yay!!!! Can’t wait Ken!
Love your videos. ❤ Are you going to update “Meet our Dogs” on your website? Thanks.
Yes we need to have 2 more added. Piper and Raleigh!
Would love to know what you used on your garage floor to make it look so smooth and nice :)
It is epoxy!
I love love your videos! Thanks for showing us around. I can’t wait to try the new trays.
What do you use for heating the nursery beds? I’ve seen You change the mat so I don’t think you have a heat mat I there. Is there heat tape in the pig rail?
We don’t have heaters. The house is set to a nice temp.
Would love to have a mentor like you? Looking to start our business as breeders

Hello to all the pets!!! And you!
Hi from UK, I love you channel I look forward to my regular puppy fix. I notice your breed certain colours, is there a reason why? You mentioned black coats doesn't photo well but they're super cute. Also I've seen other patterns and coat patterns.
Hey Dawn! I personally love the red color! That’s why we breed them.
@@DoodlesofNC Well they are gorgeous! 😍
Thank you!
Where do you purchase your tunnels and play things?
Ikea for the tunnel and play item.
Are your doodles registered with golden doodle registry/Assiciation or designer kennel club or other registry?
Do you see a benefit to being registered?
Do you provide registry or generational/family tree info for pups/sires/dams? If so how many generations back to you go?
Is there documentation for DNA testing furnishings/recessive genes for optimal coat? If so is that provided to new families with new pups?
Thank you!
We are not apart of GANA, they haven’t offered anything we specifically need. So the desire isn’t there.
I know this might be confusing, but if you want to start a business do you have to stick to one type of dog to breed?
No, we like to just focus on one but I know a lot of breeders that do a variety
Can a flight nanny be arranged to the UK? I’m really interested but just need to figure out if it’s possible
I would message them directly. But I imagine if you have the money to pay for a round-trip flight to the UK it could be arranged.
Do you know of any restrictions for bringing dogs into the UK? I think there’s a quarantine time period. But yes I think we could arrange it. It would be the cost of two tickets.
Thank you for sharing your story with us. I don't have a CZcams channel of my own but I do know
that it helps your channel grow if you use channel/video specific #hashtags above the title of your
videos. #DoodleBreeder and #DoodlePuppies for example, is the content of your channel & when
someone searches that criteria, it would put your channel in the search results & that seems to be
a great way to grow the channel from what I've learned from others. Anyhow, I love your channel.
Thank you for sharing your #Goldendoodles with us! -Hugs 🤗
Thank you so much!!!
@@DoodlesofNC You're welcome. 🤗
Hi! I was wondering if anything has changed with the arrival of the potty trays? Is the ETA just anytime in January or possibly earlier/later?
No change on the date yet!
hi, when you sell puppies, do you only sell limited registration but still keep the breeding right? I mean you will be still the co-ownership of your selling puppy or not? please let me know, I am interested to have a puppy, so I need to know in advance, then we may proceed, thank you
Hello! We do sell breeding rights, it is double to pet price. You can reach out to me at erin@doodlesofnc.com and we can chat!
How do you do your guardian home? Do they pay for the puppy or given for free?
They pay 500$ and then get paid 250$ per puppy.
Hi do you mind sharing what camera you use and the equipment?
It’s an iPhone!
@@DoodlesofNCoh wow ! That’s awesome such great quality 😮😮😮 do you use a camera stick?
Yes it’s a gimble
@@DoodlesofNC thank you ❤️
How many times you breed the females?
4 if all goes well.
I know I'm becoming a pain, but seriously, what was the true reason you chose to start breeding dogs? You're a PT, you both have full time jobs, good salaries, young children and a gorgeous large house. I checked your videos, can't seem to find it. Breeding dogs just because it's fun, cute to see puppies, the kids get to experience puppies, etc, please enlighten me.
We started breeding because people loved Bella so much. It was in the beginning for fun. Then we became more educated and excited about creating good doodles to make other families happy. Our doodles are not like others, they are well behaved, and very beautiful. And consistent. That is key with all breeds, bringing out their best features and being able to consistently do that. Which we can. I hope you have a wonderful thanksgiving and next holidays
@@DoodlesofNC My 2 havanese are the best behaved, friendliest dogs in our area and the best groomed aswell, we get stares from EVERYONE regarding their coats. Also because of them at least 2 neighbors suggested havanese to their friends, little dogs are better for seniors too.
I couldn't still justify becoming a breeder, no space, no financial safety net, I'm retired in a tiny house, even with my medical background, not a good enough reason. Even our breeder/rescuers have trouble making ends meet, they charge too little for purebred, registered dogs, only way they survive is by offering daycare, boarding and grooming. That along with the havanese rescue and showing their dogs. This pandemic has really made a mess of everything.
You do a very good job raising your puppies, I applaud you for that.
Hello! I found out about yak cheese from y’all but after letting my dogs chew on them for a few days i have to say that it smells like cigarette butts and makes the dogs have smokers breath! Did i get a bad batch or do you find that too?
Definitely a bad batch!
I have a question for you. What did you make the play are in your garage out of? (The pin area)
Www.Doodlesofnc.com/breeders-shop
@@DoodlesofNC thank you ever so so much!! 😘 I am wanting to breed my Spoo’s. My girl is a Chocolate and White Parti. She is currently in her 2nd FULL Heat but is only 17 months old.
❤
❤️
I like that you treat your dogs so well and do everything right except for the fact that they are doodles… I wish y’all would breed something more ethical
Well hopefully maybe after good breeders make doodles more consistent you’ll feel different? Every breed that is new started out some where ya know? But I really appreciate the comment .
@@DoodlesofNC yeah maybe if they become an actual breed and had standards to breed towards - I know there are some people trying to get them recognized as their own breed by the AKC - at least that way they will have a standard- I mean there are poor bred dogs of almost every breed so I guess in the long run it wouldn’t really matter anyways - just hate the people who treat any dogs as a cash crop and not as the amazing creatures they are. Sorry for my comment I’ve just seen alot of neurotic, overly nervous, or aggressive doodles
That is perfectly fine! There are definitely bad breeders in all of them! I hope to only raise the bar for everyone! ❤️
How many litters is Bella going to have?
Bella already had her babies! She’s the grandma to everyone now.
I would love to have a breeding business one day. I have no experience. How do I find a mentor?
GANA has a program for doodles.
What size is your pupez pen in the garage? 4x4 or 5x5? Please and thank you! ❤️
6/6
good luck from israel!!🕎🕎✡✡
Wow! Thank you!
Shout-out to PETA. Let's stop this breeder!
Thanks for sharing.
@Carli Hogue: I guess you should stop the puppy mills that are still in "business", before attacking such responsible people!
