Specialties
We are caring breeders who take the health of our dogs and our puppies very seriously. We do a lot of health testing, including genetic diseases and OFA hips and elbows, to ensure that the puppies are as healthy as possible. We love our dogs, and they are more than just dogs, they are family members. We encourage people to come visit, to meet us, and the puppy parents to make sure we are the right fit for them. We love keeping in touch with all of our puppies once they go to their forever homes, as we love watching them thrive and grow! We offer a Health Guarantee with every puppy, and can be reached at any time with questions or concerns.
History
Established in 2013.
We started in 2013 with just 3 of our dogs, George, Rummy and Bella. We started out just breeding Goldendoodles. We loved the variation of colors and personalities between the English and American Golden Retrievers. Then, about 3 years ago, we met our first Bernese Mountain Dog. She was beautiful and we fell in the love with the temperament of the breed. We love the mini and standard Bernedoodles, and enjoy seeing all the variations in colors, coats and personalities that come from our Bernese pairings with our poodles.
Meet the Business Owner: Ryan and Kristine P.
Both Ryan and Kristine are owners of Island Grove Doodles, LLC. Ryan is a farmer and seed salesman for Bayer. Kristine left her Dermatology Nurse position to stay at home with the dogs full time and to manage Island Grove Doodles, LLC. What inspired us to start Island Grove Doodles, LLC was the fact that Kristine had terrible allergies and found that she did amazing around Goldendoodles. It inspired them to provide Goldendoodle puppies to other families who might struggle with allergies, too. After a couple years in business, they became more inspired by all the people who were interested in using a Goldendoodle for therapy dogs. Ryan and Kristine gifted their first Goldendoodle to a little girl who suffered from severe seizers. That goldendoodle has been such an asset to that family. Ryan and Kristine look forward to providing more families with puppies who can help in so many mays.
