About Us-FAQ

Safari-Bordoodle

We are a private residence in NW McKinney Texas.

Safari Doodles is a collaboration of two good friends who love dogs. The parent dogs live in our homes and also in Guardian homes, also known as a co-owner home. All the breeding dogs are family pets and live as house dogs.  After the puppies are weaned and have found their new homes the mother dogs go back to their Guardian home to be spoiled the rest of the year.

Our years of experience breeding top winning show dogs is now used to breed the perfect family pet and service dogs for persons with disabilities. Every litter is bred with the goal of producing more service dogs to help people. We regularly donate many puppies to service dog organizations.

We also breed Golden Retrievers and some of our Doodles with a focus on Hunting. We have purchased our foundation breeding dogs from top winning and highly skilled hunting bred Retrievers and Poodles in the USA and Europe. We have owned, shown and bred Golden Retrievers since 1986.

Our Border Collies that produce our Bordoodles are all daily working herding dogs and many are Herding Champions. The line we started our Bordoodles from is our own line of competitive herding Border Collies that we started breeding in 1999.

We are  dedicated to breeding a healthy puppy and screen all the parent dogs for health problems prior to breeding. Only dogs with suburb health that is certified through OFA and DNA are used in the Safari Doodles breeding program.
