Our Breeding Philosophy
Premium Quality Puppies
We do try to meet the aesthetic preferences of our families whenever possible, but will not sacrifice the quality and health of our dogs for fashion. Dacus Doodles does not charge extra when we happen to have popular color or pattern, as the value of our puppies is in their temperament, health, structure, and the work we do to raise them. These puppies become part of our family and we want what is best for them!
Family Raised Goldendoodles
We are not a kennel! All our pups are pampered and loved!
This means you get a socialized puppy raised by us in our home. We are located northwest of Houston in Montgomery. We are in love with these allergy friendly, non-shedding, and highly intelligent dogs that make the perfect family pet! Each puppy lives as a member of our family, sharing in our main living areas.
Puppy Socialization
Early neurological stimulation and early scent introduction
Starting from the time they are 3 days old, daily to do's begin. This involves ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) and ESI (Early Scent Introduction) from days 3-16, emotional resilience exercises, daily socialization tasks, working on potty and crate training and so much more!
Our puppies are properly socialized by the whole family and are familiar with the normal sights and sounds of everyday life.
Temperament Evaluations
Temperament Evaluations begin at 7wks for every litter!
We do temperament evaluations when the puppies are 7 weeks old. This is to help guide you in suggesting which puppies would be considered to have the best odds of meshing with your family’s activity level, desires, and needs. While the overall temperament of doodles is lovely, this helps you have more insight into selecting your future family member, whether your puppy is going to be a family companion or a potential therapy, emotion support, or service animal.
Our Mission as Ethical Breeders
If a breeder is only breeding for color it could cause them to over look more important qualities, such as genetic health, temperament, and structure.
While we understand that everyone has certain aesthetic preference, breeding for specific colors as a primary goal can be a highly dangerous breeding practice. We do not breed for color (or size) as a primary goal.
The genetic pool for dogs is limited. It is very difficult to find dogs that meet important, ethical breeding requirements (health, temperament, structure) that are ALSO great producers of desired colors and patterns.
We do try to meet the aesthetic preferences of our families whenever possible, but will not sacrifice the quality and health of our dogs for fashion. Dacus Doodles does not charge extra for popular colors or patterns, as the value of our puppies is in their temperament, health, structure, and the work we do to raise them. These puppies become part of our family and we want what is best for them.
All this being said if you absolutely must have the latest and greatest in color or pattern above all other concerns, please look for a different breeder.
We begin basic training before they leave for their new forever homes!
