About Us
Ethical Breeders & Trainers
We are a small, family farm owned business specializing in the ethical breeding of standard & mini size goldendoodles, labradoodles, & toy/mini Aussiedoodles. As a retired biologist I enjoy working with the genetics & behavioral modification of our adult dogs and the puppies to ensure we provide our families with the best possible puppy. Our puppies are started with ENS (early neurological stimulation) and puppy culture from the day they are born. A few select puppies will go on to earn their canine good citizens certification and an even fewer of these are tested, qualified, and taken through more extensive training to become therapy, emotional support, or service dogs.
Happy, Healthy Bloodline
Our standard poodles are AKC registered. All of our breeding dogs undergo genetic testing and are given a clean bill of health by a reputable and established veterinarian. Our breeding dogs are our beloved family members and live in our home or an approved guardian home. Our puppies undergo daily socialization and training.
A Furever Friend
Why did we choose labradoodles, goldendoodles, & aussiedoodles? Before we ever decided to become breeders we experienced first hand how loving, playful, loyal, and intelligent both Labrador retrievers, golden retrievers, and poodles were. Our first pet labradoodle was an emotional support dog for a family member & our first goldendoodle was used (and still is) as a therapy dog We simply longed to have a family business that would bring as much happiness and joy to other families as our fur babies have brought into our lives. We added mini Aussiedoodles in because we had so many requests & immediately fell in love with the pint size fur babies. We give our puppies great care and establish lifelong bonds with our puppy families.

Why do I have to wait so long to know which puppy I will receive?
Here at Brock Farm Doodles we don’t just raise dogs, we raise life long companions. We love our fur babies and raise them with lots of love from day one along with positive puppy culture training. Our expectations are that they will go to homes where they will be treated as extended family members for their entire lives and loved as such. With that said, the questions on the application are designed to assist us in helping you choose the best puppy for your family. Puppies will be chosen between 6-7 weeks in order of deposit. During the first six weeks we are working with puppies every day following the puppy culture protocol. At six weeks puppies will undergo a Volhard test to better determine their temperaments and skills. It will be at this time we contact those with an approved application in the order deposits were received to choose their puppy. We use the information from the Volhard test, the written application and virtual interview, and any other notes we have made during our daily interactions with the puppies to match new puppy owners with the puppy that best meets the needs of their family.
Application, Puppy selection, & Contract info
STEP 1. PUPPY APPLICATION FORM
The first thing to do is fill out our online application by clicking the link
https://forms.gle/jceHpVbyNb3FDiXA6 . It is important you are as thorough and honest as possible. This lets us know what your interests and needs are and how we can help you choose the best puppy for your family. We do suggest that you are open on gender as we cannot predict the number of boys vs girls.
If you have questions, you can email us at brockfarmdoodles@gmail.com or call us at 606-657-3953. If you message or call on a weekend please give us until Monday to respond. If you have not received a response within 48 hours please message or call again.
When you have finished filling out the form you will be given the option to submit the form and we receive an email letting us know we have a new application.
STEP 2. VIRTUAL INTERVIEW
Because there are SO many scams on the internet today we want you to know we are REAL people! We also want to get to know you a little better so we can make sure we are providing your the best puppy we can for your family dynamics.
Upon receipt of your application we will schedule an virtual interview Monday - Friday 8:00 am - 5:00 pm EST via zoom, FaceTime, or Google Meets. We will attempt to reach you via the email and phone number provided on your application. If you have submitted an application and have not heard from us within 24 hours, please email or call us (if you submitted after 5:00 pm on Friday, the weekend, or a holiday, we likely won't contact you until the following business day). Please note: We understand some people have different working hours than we do. If you need us to schedule your interview on a weekend or after 5:00 pm EST, PLEASE make a note of this on your application - we will do our best to work something out!
STEP 3. MAKE YOUR DEPOSIT
After the virtual interview if both parties agree one of our puppies can provide your family with what you have your family needs and desires then we are absolutely thrilled!!! We will send you an invoice for the deposit of $500.00 plus 6% state sales tax. The invoice will give you options to pay Visa, Mastercard, Discover, or PayPal. Please note there is an additional 3.9% fee for these transactions which goes directly to the processing company. ACH (direct bank to bank) payment is also available and there is no service charge fee.
The deposit reserves a puppy for you and your place is held in the order received for the litter you select. Single deposits are for one litter only. They cannot be used to hold a puppy in multiple litters. Reservation lists often fill up quickly, and we cannot reserve a puppy for you without a deposit. Deposits are non-refundable unless we do not have a puppy that meets the needs of your family as agreed upon in your application.
Puppy selection takes place when pups are 7 weeks old and have undergone Volhard temperament testing by a trainer who is unfamiliar with the puppies in order for the puppies to receive an unbiased score. We will be utilizing ENS (early neurological simulation) from day 3 through day 16. We will also be working with the puppies utilizing positive puppy culture protocols, socialization, & brain development strategies. Notes will be kept on observed puppy development, socialization, & personality traits. These notes along with the Volhard test results will be used in conjunction with your application to assist you in choosing your puppy.
STEP 5. FINAL PAYMENT
Final and Full payment arrangements for your puppy must be made by the middle of week seven. We can meet you anywhere within a 60 mile distance of London, KY for no extra charge.
If you are having your puppy delivered via a transportation company we must have your completed payment and this payment must clear your bank BEFORE the puppy will be allowed to leave. Please note: transport generally requires a minimum of 3 week notice in order to pick up the puppy by the specified date. We do not receive any compensation for the travel nanny/nannies. We can help you coordinate the pick up and delivery but all payments for transport will be between the transportation company/nanny and you.
THE BEST STEP... PUPPY PICK UP/DELIVERY!!
The Day You’ve Been Waiting For! The puppies go home with you and become part of your family. Families will pick up their puppies between 8 and 9 weeks of age. I’m not going to lie, this day is a little sad for us but it also brings us great happiness to see the joy in your faces because we know they will be loved and cared for so well by our Brock Farm Doodle families. We will need to ensure all paperwork is complete, contract has been reviewed, & payment received before puppies leave our home.
We understand you will likely be a bit overwhelmed at times so please reach out with questions - no question is unwelcome!
