Oodles of Doodles IL
Our Extended Puppy
Families
One of the greatest joys of raising puppies is seeing them grow and thrive in their forever homes. Over the years we have been blessed with incredible families who love and care for our puppies just as much as we do.
When you bring home one of our puppies, you become part of our extended puppy family.
We love receiving updates, photos, and stories as our puppies grow. Watching them become cherished members of their families is the most rewarding part of what we do.
Below are just a few photos and messages shared by families who welcomed one of our puppies into their homes.
I love, love, love my Murphy! (mini-bernedoodle) Amanda and her kids are awesome! Nora helped me name him. I would definitely buy another from them in the future. I’m trying to convince my parents to buy one of his siblings.

"I highly recommend Oodles of Doodles! Amanda puts so much care into her puppies. We got our beautiful mini/toy red goldendoodle in the summer and have been so happy with him! He was flown from IL to NYC and the process was so easy and great. If we get another pup we will definitely be coming back to Oodles of Doodles IL.
Our fur baby Diggy Smalls is such a lover and is a great listener!

Where do I start. If I was able to give 10 stars I would. Amanda is not only very insightful of the breeding process of her pups but, she has the thing that I made my determining factor. Hands on love and interaction with the pups from day one when they come into this world. Amanda and her family treat the pups like gold and give the love, interaction you would expect if they had planned keeping them all for themselves. The pups are very healthy, are fed the best nutritious food and are in a very clean environment with room to run and play. Amanda's children are very interactive with the pups as well, which my Daisy had 0 time needed to adjust to small children. I can't give enough compliments to Oodles of Doodles IL and would most definitely be a return customer. Thanks to Amanda and her family!

When I first came across Amanda & Oodles of Doodles IL in January I let Amanda know I wanted a puppy right away. I remember she said then litter wouldn't be ready to go home until May. She let me know they were SO worth the wait & now I can tell you my little girl was worth the wait & so much more!
Amanda was amazing through the last 4 months of working with me. She consistently kept me up to date with photos videos. Amanda is so organized through the process and extremely knowledgeable. Not only knowledgeable about the breed itself, but she truly knows each puppy's personality to a T. The difference I found when working with Amanda vs. another breeder is she truly loves & adores her dogs & puppies. These puppies are socialized with her family & children, introduced to being in a crate, & also introduced to going potty outside. When I had to choose which puppy I wanted I simply couldn't choose. Amanda went out of her way to call me on a Friday night to talk to me about what I'm exactly looking for in a puppy & to learn more about my lifestyle. We discussed in depth each puppy's personality to figure out what would be the best fit for me. Personally, with all these amazing puppies I don't believe any choice would be a bad one! Having Amanda there through every step of the process just made me confident in my decision of working with her.

Great communication and wonderful pup. We could not be happier. He’s sweet and such a cuddly guy. He fits in perfect with our family. I’d highly recommend going with them for your next pup!

Adding a puppy to our family was a BIG decision! I was picky about what I wanted but Amanda was so nice guiding me every step of the way! Amanda has been so helpful, patient, and sweet through out the entire process! Never pressuring us! She went out of her way to make sure we were happy!
Once we picked our pup she was always in contact, answering questions and sending pictures / videos along the way!
She acted as a friend would, helping make a connection for us to get Barry yesterday to surprise our kids:) SHE IS AMAZING And her PUPS ARE ADORABLE!
Day one, Barry has been so fun, playful with the kids and surprisingly well behaved!!! He even slept through the night in his crate! We can tell Barry was loved and we will continue to Love this little guy! Thank you

We can’t even put in words how incredible our experience was working with Amanda. As first time pet parents, we had so many questions and Amanda was so patient with us. She would respond right away and gave us all of the information that we needed. She took her time and made us feel at ease about getting our new pup, Teddy. She would send us pictures and videos of Teddy so we could be prepared for his cuteness. This little pup has had such an impact on our lives already, we are so in love!! Amanda made sure that Teddy adjusted to his new home and assured us to not hesitate reaching out to her. I highly recommend getting your next puppy through Oodles of Doodles IL!

I highly recommend getting a puppy from Amanda. She is great to work with and has always answered all of my questions along the way. I belong to a lot of doodle Facebook pages and the biggest complaint is a lot of breeders tend to stretch the truth about how big the dog will be. I know there are a lot of factors in this and it is never a guarantee but I feel Amanda was spot on with Oakley because she knows her dogs so well. He just turned a year old and is 15 pounds and that is exactly what she told me average would be.
-Jennifer Strauch
Amanda was an amazing breeder to work with. We couldn’t be happier with our puppy Duke. He is healthy and happy and has become a huge part of our family! I would highly recommend Amanda and her puppies!
-Anna Siepierska
Our sweet Daisy Mae She is so smart and has been nothing but perfect since day 1. Highly recommend Amanda for your next love pup.
-Kevin & Sarah Dopuch
I highly recommend Oodles of Doodles! Amanda puts so much care and time into her puppies. Amanda and her family treat the pups amazing and give the love, interaction you would expect if they had planned keeping them all for themselves. Amanda definitely knows her knowledge on the breeds and is so happy to educate you if you have questions about them. She is so helpful and wants to make sure that you’re prepared to give your puppy the best home! We got our F1b golden doodle Tucker from them and we couldn’t be more happier with him! He’s turned out to be such a sweet, lovable, smart, and loyal pup. We highly recommend Oodles of Doodles!!
-Katie Helmkamp
My sweet Ellie Mae is perfect! We loved working with Oodles of Doodles IL and are looking into adding a second puppy to our family from them! Highly recommend!
-Tom & Kirby Klostermann
We couldn’t ask for a better breeder! She loves her puppies, takes great care of them, communicates well, sent us pics and videos. Was so organized with pick up and transition home. Would recommend Amanda again and again. Can’t say enough great things and we are so thankful for our very sweet fur baby!! We are in LOVE! Thanks so much, Amanda!!
— Marcia Schoudel
Amanda and family truly care about their pups. I would recommend buying a doodle from her family.
