Finley Tucker

He was born in La Pine, Oregon.  Finley is a first-generation double doodle. His daddy was a Golden Doodle, golden color coat, and his mommy was a Labradoodle, black color coat.

He was born in La Pine, Oregon.  Finley is a first-generation double doodle. His daddy was a Golden Doodle, golden color coat, and his mommy was a Labradoodle, black color coat. Finely fell in love the moment he laid eyes on me.  When I picked him up, he put his head gently on my shoulder and snuggled in with a calm disposition.  This is when I knew he would be the perfect one to be by my side as my personal medical service dog. Over the last 5 years he has been by my side at countless community events and fundraisers.  After almost a decade of devoting my professional life to community outreach for a local air ambulance company, I've hung my hat and am now devoting all my time to breeding the best standard double doodle puppies Oregon has to offer.

She was born in El Cerrito, California.  Aina is a first-generation double doodle. Her daddy was a Golden Doodle, chocolate color coat, and her mommy was a Labradoodle, white color coat. We decided to get Aina Marie when Finley Tucker was medically alerting my husband following a long COVID related hospitalization and I had a medical emergency which resulted in an unexpected trip to the emergency room.  I found the perfect match for my husband when I learned about Aina's independent and loyal disposition. Aina was transported to us by car, so she would not lose any traction with potty training, arriving in Chiloquin, Oregon in the middle of the night.  She's been connected to my husband's side devoted to being is loyal medical service dog.
