About Us

---

Hi there! I'm (Muriel) Tootie, my husband Brion and our son Garrett are the humans who raise your forever best Doodle friend!  We are Hobby Breeders (Only Doodles LLC), of  F1b American Labradoodles, F1b Goldendoodles, and F1b Berenedoodles.

We have a very small program, no more than 3-4 females as, well, there are only 3 of us! As we refuse to implement guardian homes and choose to do it all ourselves, this is the way it will always be!  I recently retired from my career as a Program Manager for an agency that supports the Developmentally Disabled/Mentally Ill. Brion is a proud former Captain in the Air Force and a Disabled Veteran and he and Garrett are the reason we do what we do.  We absolutely, positively devoted, and our lives revolve around our puppies and dogs. It isn't a conventional life, but, we love it! 

We have been around for longer than the "minute"! We aren't young, we aren't particularly into the newest fads, and there are several fads in breeding. We do our research still and are diligent on being up on the "know" of actual things important to producing extremely healthy, sociable, well bred babies. Breeding is an ongoing educational experience. And, like in all things there is always something new to learn.

We are very non-salesman, very transparent, very direct and very devoted to our dogs and puppies.

We began by breeding American Labrador Retrievers years ago, they proved to be a working therapy for Brion, and Garrett, who was diagnosed with autism as a toddler.  

The therapeutic evidence a dog has with children with autism to help them improve social interactions and relationships, expand verbal and nonverbal communication, teach life skills, has been irrefutably proven here in our home.
