It all started when…
Dr. Nathan Crockett grew up in a home that always had a dog (Lhasa Apso, mixed breed, Toy Sheltie). His wife, Abigail, grew up with a yellow Labrador Retriever. After marriage, the Crockets had a purebred with health issues (and major shedding) and a friend told them about Goldendoodles. The Goldendoodles’ non-shedding coat, friendly personality and hybrid vigor were huge draws.

After a long search to get a Goldendoodle from a reputable breeder, they welcomed a champion bloodline beautiful Goldendoodle into their family. The Crocketts decided to become the kind of breeder they had such a hard time finding (family-raised pups from a responsible breeder).
They bought a gorgeous apricot Poodle and planned to do one litter a year of home-raised pups. After creating the website, doodlesforadoption.com the Crocketts had numerous emails of people wanting one of the f1b Goldendoodle puppies from their first litter.
Not wanting to start a kennel, they worked with close friends of theirs to become Partner Homes. The Crocketts bought outstanding Goldendoodles for several of their friends, provided the Poodle stud, and connected the puppies to wonderful Forever Homes.
These Partner Homes became an ideal way to have truly family raised pups, yet provide more than one litter a year. They added Labradoodles the second year (specializing in chocolate). For over 14 years now, Crockett Doodles has been known as a premier breeder of Goldendoodles and Labradoodles.
