About Us

When God had made the earth and sky, the flowers and the trees,

He then made all the animals, the fish, the birds and bees.

And when at last He’d finished not one was quite the same.

He said I’ll walk this world of mine and give each one a name.

And so He traveled far and wide and everywhere He went,

A little creature followed Him until it’s strength was spent.

When all were named upon the earth and in the sky and sea,

The little creature said, “Dear Lord, there’s no name left for me.”

Kindly, the Father said to him, “I’ve left you to the end.

I’ve turned my own name back to front and called you DOG, my friend.”

We are well located in west central Wisconsin to be within a nice day trip of several good sized cities:

Minneapolis MN  2 hours 20 mins

Rochester MN   2 hrs 30 mins

Chicago IL  5 hrs

Appleton WI 3.5 hrs

Madison WI  2.5 hrs

Superior WI  3.5 hrs

Dubuque IA 3.5 hrs

We are less than 15 minutes off of I-94 and half a mile off of HWY 53 so we’re easy to find.

About 30 years ago I started breeding German Shepherd dogs. It was great fun, and in the process I learned a lot about dogs, and met many good people. 9 yrs later when the demands of raising a family and earning a living got in in the way, I gave it up. It’s not something you can do just “in your free time” if you want to do it right.

In the 90’s, I had a few litters of Rottweillers. They are beautiful dogs, but best left to people who really know how to handle the more assertive breeds. I decided with teens of my own and a steady stream of their friends coming by, to look for a more mellow and accepting type of dog for our family.

Now that I’ve taken an early retirement, I am able to devote myself to being with my dogs full time and have fallen in love with Labradoodles. I find them to be everything a pet should be. I chose my dogs because I wanted ones that would be fun and safe to have around my kids and grand kids. I have a true appreciation for the intelligent and loving breeds that go into Labradoodles. My studs and dams were chosen with those traits in mind. They’ve proven to be everything I’d hoped for!

I believe in selling my pups at a reasonable price to get them into homes with families. I’m not looking to make my fortune in dogs; and will never sell to pet stores or puppy mills. My goal is to share the fun and love I have for these wonderful animals with others who will enjoy them as family members and possible service dogs. I do what I do out of love for the experience. If it weren’t fun, there would be no point.

I welcome visitors, emails, or phone calls to inquire about our dogs. They are very much a part of my family and I’m always proud to show them off and introduce others to these wonderful characters. I don’t have a huge kennel, because I want to have the time to take proper care of all my dogs. I have never had more than 3 litters in a year, because I want to be able to properly socialize my pups and enjoy each one while they’re mine. I enjoy socializing the pups, playing with the parents, and giving each one the attention they so need and deserve. My kids, grand kids, friends, and neighbors all get a hand in helping to socialize these pups. Our fun with them now creates your great companion once they leave me. These are absolutely people-loving animals.

If you’re looking for a Labradoodle, please feel free to contact me. If you just want to learn more about the breed, I’m more than willing to talk with you and direct you to some great sites to learn from and tell you what I know to be true.

I  DNA Health test my breeding dogs to be sure we’re not reproducing any of many genetic defects that either of their pure bred parents might be carriers of. This is the best way I know of protecting my pups, my buyers, and my own future as a responsible breeder.

When people ask me “What’s a TinkerDoodle?” I can honestly say it’s a healthy, intelligent, loving dog that can be many things to many different people. When you think TinkerDoodle, I want you to think quality and responsibility; so my breeding program is geared to those goals.
