The YQL Doodle Process

After extensive research and conversations with specialists and geneticists, Megan and Nathan knew they wanted to do things differently from traditional breeders. Especially interested in genetics, Megan was seeing personality and temperament issues in Labradoodles and Goldendoodles that were not consistent with what she felt made the best family pets. Instead, she saw that when a herding dog, such as an Australian Shepherd or a Bernese Mountain Dog was used in place of a Retriever or Lab, better temperaments could be achieved.  

Every time YQL Doodles breeds dogs, it is a well thought out process, motivated to produce the absolute best puppies. We consider each dog’s dominant and recessive genes and how they will interact when producing puppies from the mating pair. Our focus is on maintaining the integrity of the doodle through the poodle genetics. We are careful that only the best qualities from the accompanying breed are complemented. We pay close attention to the temperament and ability in each dog, while also taking into account genotypes for coat traits and color. We study the mental, physical and genetic traits of our dogs, to produce the best possible puppies for you and your family.
