Get to Know Your Breeder
I am Rebecca and I am your Sheepadoodle, Goldendoodle and Bernadoodle breeder. I am a nurse practitioner and spent years caring for people in emergency rooms before I realized that dog breeding was my passion. I am the person that gets to birth your puppy and love and care for them until they go home to you. I mean, does it get any better than that?
“Breeding might just be the perfect combination of three things my heart loves most.”
One, of course, is dogs and puppies. How can you not love puppies? But the mamas are so so special. I get to bond with them in such a powerful way as they deliver and raise their puppies. I get to watch them mature after their first litter of pups and become wiser and more confident in themselves as if motherhood made them stronger. Each parent dog’s quality of life is key. It is okay for them to have a purpose- but they must be living their best life while they are doing their job. Taking great care of our parent dogs is a priority at Double U Doodles. They are happy, healthy, and well socialized so your pups are happy, healthy and well socialized.
The second is being a caregiver. My mom says I have always been a caregiver, and I found my passion when I found nursing. When I graduated from Nurse Practitioner School and left being a Registered Nurse in a level 1 Trauma Center, I found myself in an Internal Medicine Office. This was obviously not as crazy as the ER, but it certainly had its moments of adrenaline and posed its own challenges. It was there that I really got to do another thing that I love, and that is caring for elderly men, or grandpas? I just love them and I can’t help it. I am unapologetically partial to sweet old men. They just make me happy! (I even love the grumpy old men. Most of them have earned their right to be grumpy.)
The third thing (what my heart loves most) is being a mom. (This may or may not be in order of importance. Depends on the day?!) My husband and I have been married 12+ years and have 2 daughters that keep us on our toes. This career path allows me to be home when I need to be home, and I am so thankful for that. I am so glad that my job is to take care of my patients which are dogs, and I get to do it at my home. The only thing that could make my job more perfect is if I opened a coffee shop in our puppy nursery so the old men would come hang out with me every morning… Seriously, I would!
So…if you want to know why I am a dog breeder, these are the reasons why. Or, if anyone has ever wondered why I left the field of nursing (which required 6 years of college) now you know. I am so blessed and thankful that I have the privilege of being your breeder!
