River Boy, the boy who started it all!

Being a school counselor I always wanted to adopt a therapy dog to use with my students. As a result, I started researching, at length, different breeds that could be used in the school setting. Finally, the Multigenerational Australian Labradoodle appeared in my search. At first, I was drawn to their undeniable cuteness. However, after further research, I discovered that Multigenerational Australian Labradoodles were first bred to be service and therapy dogs! Indeed, a perfect fit!

One would have guessed that I was not willing to give up River. For this reason, my wheels started turning on how I could serve people better and give the gift of River to others. Sleepless nights ensued, then one day I had it! “I could help others experience their own “River” by starting my own breeding program”. Doing so, I would be able to carefully select each of my breeders for their therapy dog temperaments. As a result, I would have the freedom to donate dogs to schools, place puppies in loving homes and share my passion with others! My dream quickly became a reality and we were off and running!

We are extremely excited with what the future holds for our future pet families. Doodle Roots program goal is to be grounded in the “ROOTS” of why the ALD was originally bred. Therefore, we aim to support schools in their quest to secure their own therapy dogs. Therefore, we will be starting our school program (A River Runs Calm. A River Runs Calm will donate a select number of puppies to schools and children in need. I hope you have get enough details here about us. So, if you want a great family pet or have interest in owning your own therapy dog you should come on this exciting journey with us!

Dream Big!
