Hello and welcome to the Dakota Doodles website. Dakota Doodles is family operated. We are located in the open spaces of the upper Midwest. Raising dogs has been a part of our lives for 15 years.  Dakota Doodles started when our son (A big player in Dakota Doodles) wanted to breed our beautiful Australian Shepherd “Annie” to a poodle, he repeatedly asked for the opportunity to raise doodles. Annie was a beautiful Red Merle and truly a member of our family, living life and working with us every day. She had a heart of gold, guarded the acreage; but most of all gave lots love and attention. After researching the doodle breed, we very carefully selected the healthiest genetics to be the foundation. We fell in love with the doodles, they truly are everything we had been looking for and more. They have brought endless love and excitement to our family. Dakota Doodles starts with quality genetics, endless love and giving puppies the best start in life. The parents are members of our family, we have dedicated spaces in our home to accommodate the ages and stages of our puppies. Everyone in our family contributes in some way to the day to day cares and companionship of puppies. All puppies are born in our nursey and then transitioned to play pens as they grow. They are exposed to lots of socializing at an early age.  Our passion is raising quality, well socialized, healthy and loving puppies that become life long loving family companions. From our family to yours it is truly our pleasure to place our puppies in loving family homes.
