Hi there and welcome! My name is Melissa Peabody. I own and operate Homegrown Doodles. I am married with two grown boys. My husband, Steve likes to lend me a hand here and there when he has time from his job as a sales manager at a local manufactured homes company. Together, we live in beautiful rural New Brunswick, just outside the town of Woodstock. We have loads of acreage for our dogs to run and explore. We decided to get into breeding Goldendoodles shortly after losing our beloved full breed Golden Retriever, Emma at 12 years old. She was the most amazing family dog! Our boys grew up along side her. Once she left us, we knew we had to have another dog in our home but after 12 years of daily vacuuming and still having hair everywhere, we decided we'd try the Golden Retriever/ Standard Poodle hybrid and we found our first F1 Goldendoodle boy, Scout. We fell in love again and the hole that sweet Emma left was once again filled. He was the cutest little apricot pup! He looked like a little Muppet and we were often told as much. We were so impressed with this hybrid. He has a beautiful combination of the loyal, loving, gentle, endearing nature of the Golden paired with the high intelligence, low/no shedding coat of the Poodle and he has a goofy personality to boot. It was then that my husband and I decided we needed to share this incredible family dog with everyone! We found our Ellie girl after Scout was almost a year. After some genetic testing, and waiting until maturity, we started breeding and haven't looked back. This small little business fills me with such pride and joy. Every litter is special and every puppy unique. I look forward to each whelp like it's Christmas morning and every puppy is a precious gift I get to share. I am grateful and blessed to have such a vital role in these puppies first 8 weeks.

We feed our dogs Large breed Lifetime kibble. Pregnant and nursing Mommas as well as their puppies are fed Puppy Performance by Lifetime. This kibble is Canadian made without common allergens and fillers such as corn, wheat and soy. It also contains glucosamine and chondroitin to promote the growth and maintanance of healthy bones and joints. Puppies and their Mom are also fed a probiotic to help promote healthy gut bacteria. All my adult dogs recieve healthy toppers on their kibble such as fruits, veggies, coconut oil, fish oil, sardines, eggs, etc. We believe even the very best dog food can use the extra nutritional boost of these add-ins.

Goldendoodles are most definitely family dogs!! They love their families and want to be with and included in family activities. They like to walk, swim and play fetch but they equally like to keep your feet or preferably your lap warm while you're relaxing.
Empowered Puppies!!
Homegrown puppies are whelped and raised in our home with our family. I follow an amazing empowered puppy curriculum called "Badass Breeders" or "BAB." This wonderful program produces stimulated, well rounded puppies. We do early neurological stimulation(ENS) & early scent introduction(ESI) from day 3-16. This training helps puppies to use their noses, it also helps with heart rates, promotes healthy adrenal glands, and helps with confidence, just to name a few. Puppies are handled daily, they get exposed to baths, blowdrying, brushing and weekly nail trims. We also work on desensitizing the pups to loud noises such as vacuums, thunder, fireworks, sirens, different styles of music, T.V, etc. Pups are provided with tactile items to walk on with all different types of textures, this builds confidence. They are also mentally stimulated daily with brain games and a variety of toys that move and make noise. We are looking to build well rounded puppies that believe in their own abilities by providing them with an enriching environment that falls within their sensitive developmental benchmarks.

All pups are sold on a non-breeding contract. As such, we require you to have your pup spayed/neutered as per your vet's recommendations. We require proof of sterilization once completed.
Puppies are sold on a return to breeder contract. This means that if there is ever a time where you can no longer keep your puppy, you are to notify me. I will then either help you to re-home or take said puppy back.
