Designer poodle mixes—often called doodles—have earned a wonderful reputation as family-friendly, versatile dogs. They combine the best qualities of their parent breeds, such as Golden Retrievers, Bernese Mountain Dogs, and Australian Shepherds, which are loved for their loyalty, playfulness, and strong work ethic, with the intelligence, trainability, and low-shedding coats of the Poodle. The result is a well-rounded companion known for being intuitive, affectionate, and eager to please—an ideal fit for families, active homes, or anyone seeking a smart, loving pup.
At Magnolia Grove Doodles, we take that mission to heart. We are a family-operated breeder focused on producing healthy, well-socialized puppies with exceptional temperaments. Genetics and responsible breeding practices are at the core of what we do, and every pup is raised in our home—not a kennel—so they grow up confident, loved, and ready to thrive in yours. Choosing Magnolia Grove Doodles means choosing a breeder who is fully invested in the health, happiness, and long-term success of every puppy we raise.
There are many designer doodle breeds and sizes to choose from—Bernedoodles, Aussiedoodles, Australian Mountain Doodles (AMDs), Goldendoodles, Labradoodles, Cockapoos, Cavapoos, Sheepadoodles, and more. While each breed has general characteristics and tendencies, every puppy is unique. Their individual temperament, along with the training and environment they receive, ultimately shapes who they become.
When choosing a doodle, it’s important to consider the size you prefer and the purpose of the pup—whether you’re looking for a family companion, a hunting or herding partner, a service dog prospect, or a future breeding prospect.
At Magnolia Grove Doodles, we specialize in miniature to medium-sized (25–50 lb) Bernedoodles, Aussiedoodles, and Australian Mountain Doodles. Our goal is to match each puppy with a family based on both the family’s preferences and the puppy’s natural temperament. We also maintain trusted connections with other reputable breeders and are happy to provide referrals to help you find the perfect pup for your needs.
These terms refer to the litter’s generation and generally denotes the percentage of poodle to the percentage of the specific other breed.
Our puppy pricing is determined by several factors, including breed, color, and anticipated adult size. We require a non-refundable $400 deposit for clients to secure a spot in the selection order at the 4-week mark, with pick order based on the order in which deposits are received. After puppies reach 4 weeks old, new families may reserve any remaining unselected pups with the same $400 deposit. This deposit is applied toward the total purchase price.
In general, Aussiedoodles range from $1,200–$1,800 (with merle pups typically priced slightly higher), while Bernedoodles and Australian Mountain Doodles range from $1,600–$2,800. We strive to keep our pricing fair and accessible, and we occasionally offer discounts to returning families as a thank-you for choosing us again.
All puppies are sold with a spay/neuter contract, unless breeding rights are approved. Breeding rights require an additional fee and are granted on a case-by-case basis.
Each Magnolia Grove Doodles puppy comes with:
Once a litter is confirmed by our veterinarian, we announce when we will start taking deposits for that litter. When puppies reach 4 weeks of age, families who have placed deposits select their puppy in the order deposits were received. Provided each puppy meets developmental benchmarks and receives a clean bill of health from our vet, they are ready to go to their new home at 8 weeks old. The total puppy cost must be paid in full prior to the puppy being released to their new families.
We’re always happy to help you feel confident in your decision, and we provide plenty of ways to get to know each puppy. We offer photos, videos, scheduled video calls, and ongoing communication to answer any questions you may have. To protect the health and safety of our litters, we do not allow in-person visitors during the early weeks. Limiting foot traffic helps prevent the introduction of germs and viruses that could be harmful to young puppies. Only immediate family and trusted helpers involved in our program are permitted during this time.
When it’s time for your puppy to go home, we offer several convenient delivery options. We are happy to meet families up to two hours from Oxford, Alabama at no additional cost. For longer distances, we can personally deliver your puppy for a reasonable travel fee based on mileage round-trip for ground transport or on the cost of airfare and any airline fees. We prefer not to ship puppies or use third-party transport services unless absolutely necessary.
The short answer is YES, you can! We love when families return for another puppy or choose to bring home more than one. However, we want you to be aware that bringing home puppies from the same litter can sometimes lead to challenges. Littermates raised together may become overly dependent on each other, which can make it harder for them to bond with their humans. This dependency can contribute to issues such as difficulty with obedience training, separation anxiety, and, in some cases, heightened behavioral concerns.
If you’re considering get two or more puppies, we’re happy to talk through the pros and cons and help you decide what will work best for your family—whether that means adopting two at once or staggering the timing for a smoother transition. Separate deposits are required for each puppy being selected or reserved.
All of our puppies are sold with a spay/neuter contract unless breeding rights are specifically approved and purchased. Breeding rights are offered on a case-by-case basis and require an additional fee. Approval is not guaranteed, as we are selective to ensure responsible breeding practices.
If a buyer fails to complete the required spay/neuter procedure within the agreed timeframe and the dog is bred—whether intentionally or accidentally—they will be considered in breach of contract and charged a substantial fee for each occurrence or litter. Additionally, any pregnancy that occurs within the first year voids the health guarantee.
We frequently use stud services from other reputable breeders and do currently have one male in our own program. While his services are not available yet, we plan to offer stud services in the near future.
If you’re interested in breeding rights or future stud availability, we’re happy to discuss details and expectations.
Yes. Magnolia Grove Doodles guarantees that your puppy is in good health, to the best of our knowledge, on the day you take them home. We take every reasonable measure to ensure each puppy’s well-being and provide a one-year health guarantee against debilitating congenital defects from the date of sale. To maintain this guarantee, certain requirements must be met—such as having your puppy examined by a licensed veterinarian within three days of going home, administering regular flea / tick / worm medication, and following through with the spay or neuter procedure during the required timeframe.
Yes both dam and sire in each litter have been DNA / health tested for over 200+ genetic diseases. Links to their full reports can be found on their profiles. Puppies do not usually have their genetics tested unless the pairing of the dam and sire leave questions related to certain crucial genes like determining furnishings or non-visual patterns. If not offered in a specific litter, a DNA test can still be requested by a potential buyer, but the cost of the test must be paid for by the requesting individual regardless if they select that puppy of not. DNA panel results typically take 3-4 weeks to be returned and need to be sent off in the 1st week if results are wanted back before the 4 week puppy selection timeframe.
We follow both the Badass Breeders Program and Puppy Culture curriculums to give each puppy the best possible start. From birth, our puppies are raised in a structured, hands-on environment designed to support healthy development. Right within a few days old, we start performing Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and Early Scent Introduction (ESI) exercises daily to build confidence, resilience, and adaptability. As the puppies grow, we begin foundational training that prepares them for life in their new homes. This includes introducing potty training, crate training at night, and guided exposure to new sights, sounds, and experiences.
We often tell families that we provide the first 8 weeks of essential development and training, and the next 8 weeks are up to you. Together, these first 16 weeks are the most critical period in a puppy’s life, shaping their behavior, confidence, and overall foundation for years to come.
We do not personally offer or have partnerships for general obedience or specialized training after the go-home date. We are familiar with multiple local training facilities that offer a variety of training options that we could arrange at cost but that would delay the scheduled go-home process considerably. We would suggest that you find a reputable training program located near your location and highly do suggest that the puppies go through at minimum a general obedience training course in their first year. Most good training programs involve both training the puppy and the owner.
If you are interested in getting one of our puppies to be used in a service or special needs setting, we would love to discuss it further and look at options for you.
Boarding past the scheduled go-home date will not be guaranteed, but we will try to accommodate delivery dates as much as possible. However, understand that we also have other puppies to deliver or transport to their forever homes. The optimal time for puppies to be placed in their forever home is at 8 weeks. In their last week with us, they will have a health checkup with a license veterinarian and receive deworm medicine. If we do board your puppy for longer than 5 days after the scheduled go-home date, a boarding fee of $30 a day will be charged.
