From the Hearts of our Beloved Mountain Home Families

"People comment almost everyday about how beautiful Storm is. While on our morning walk today he had his picture taken by another walker. She stated her friend would like a Labradoodle but they were too big. Now she will know where to find a smaller one and how beautiful they are, well mannered and lovable. Storm is so full of life and loves living it where ever he may be."

"We have admired these sweet pups for years! Tori worked hard with our family to place us with the sweetest pup! Highly recommend these amazing temperament, smart, loving and cuddly Doods and the Doodette (Tori) behind it all!"

"We had been discussing adding an Australian Labradoodle to our family for a year before we found the perfect breeder. We had such an amazing experience with Tori. She is kind, attentive to detail and quick to respond (to my many questions). Stella is the perfect dog and we couldn’t be any happier!"

"I waited 9 months for True to come into our family. Now that she’s here, I can’t remember how life was without her. She is our joy-bringer and is well on her way to becoming an officially certified therapy dog. Everyone who meets her, loves her. Tori knew I was looking for a puppy who could meet the qualifications and love the job of being a therapy dog. True was not my first pick in the litter when they were born …. but I trusted Tori and all I can say now is “Thank you”! True is a lover of people and of other dogs. She is mellow, sweet, sensitive, brave and confident. Once she masters a task she owns it like a boss. We just graduated this past week from Canine Good Manners class! Now on to trail and field classes! I love this gorgeous, vocal, playful and funny girl beyond words. She is part of our family and I am so grateful I found Tori and Mountain Home Doodles! True came home already socialized to people and dogs, using a potty pad, and desensitized to lots of things most puppies are frightened of for a while. People stop us everywhere we go to ask about her and want to engage with her. From the tiniest human to elderly, she welcomes them all with a tail wag. She has already impacted so many people’s lives – her presence truly is therapeutic! I cannot say enough about this breed of dog and more importantly, MHD for breeding such excellent quality Australian labradoodles and giving them such a foundational first 8 weeks of life. I recommend highly!!! Thank you, Tori and all the people who helped make my dream into a reality! Can’t wait to see what True’s future holds." 
Love, True’s Mom

"I have so many great things to talk about Mountain Home Doodles. First of all, Tori is a phenomenal breeder. She patiently answered to all of the excessive amount of questions I had. She’s very knowledgeable and cares tremendously for her puppies. This really shows when you see one of her puppies. Second and most important thing is that she breeds the best dogs. Everyone comments on how well behave my puppy is. I am astounded as to how accurately Tori was when choosing a puppy for me. Chloe is my perfect puppy. I still can’t believe how good she is. I wanted a puppy that is independent, calm, even tempered, and confident, and that’s exactly what I got. Chloe is super calm at home. She will play by herself or sleep. She can also be ready to play at any moment. She loves to go outside and play with her doggie friends. She’s very good at learning what to do with different equipment in her agility class because she’s not afraid of them. She’s smart, gentle, and very sweet. I cannot ask for a better puppy. Tori is here every step of the way from the moment I inquired about her puppies to now, almost 6 months after taking Chloe home. She’s always happy to answer any of my concern and provide resources for me to learn more. I highly recommend Mountain Home Doodles!"

"I absolutely love Mountain Home Doodles. I emailed them when I saw a picture of a puppy on Facebook and she was quick to reply. I asked so many questions about the puppies and the breed of dog and told her what I wanted in a puppy and she gave me exactly that! Not to mention she was fantastic when it came to working out the details. I am in the Military and got sent to training about the time I was talking to her about the puppy and she worked with me all the way through! She kept my mom in the loop while I was gone and when I got back she sent me updates of the puppies and coordinated a time for me to get him. Also, I fell in love with my sassy little pup who is my sidekick:) I highly recommend them!"

We brought home our Australian Labradoodle, Rainy, from Mountain Home Doodles one week ago, and the experience has exceeded our expectations in every meaningful way.

From our first inquiry through pickup and beyond, Tori and Brent demonstrated a level of professionalism and care that sets them apart. Their approach isn't transactional—it's rooted in genuine commitment to breeding healthy, well-adjusted dogs and matching them thoughtfully with families.

The temperament assessment process was thorough and accurate. We discussed what we were looking for over email: a calm, gentle presence with playful energy when ready. Rainy is exactly that match. She observes, assesses, then engages with full enthusiasm. It's a remarkable balance that speaks to both her character and the early socialization she received.

What's most telling: Rainy's first nights at home were completely calm—no crying at all. Her potty training instincts are exceptionally well established. She integrated into our family with an ease we didn't expect from an 8-week-old puppy. These aren't accidents; they're the direct result of the foundation Mountain Home Doodles built during her first eight weeks.

Her first vet visit reinforced everything we've experienced. The vet was impressed with her health, demeanor, and overall development.

In a field where breeding can be driven primarily by financial motives, Mountain Home Doodles stands out for their integrity and sense of purpose. They care deeply about their dogs, their program, and the families they work with. The follow-up, the communication, the transparency—it all reflects people who take this work seriously.

If you're looking for a breeder who prioritizes temperament, health, and proper placement over volume and profit, this is where you should be looking. We're grateful to have found them and couldn't recommend them more highly.

Couldn't have been more pleased with our puppy adoption experience from Mountain Home Doodles. Their kindness, attention to detail, and expertise were all outstanding! Tori made the process approachable and fun. We get so many compliments on our puppy and his sweet temperament. We highly recommend Mountain Home Doodles for any puppy adoption.

I began researching Australian Labradoodles about 6 months ago. I was planning to retire and looking for a dog with therapy potential. When I came across Mountain Home Doodles I was intrigued by several things. First, the number of dogs they have in service work (therapy, diabetic alert dogs, etc.) as shown on their website. Second, the number of families who have returned to them for a second or third dog. Their reviews counted most to me and they seem thrilled with all their MHD pups! Third, Tori's kind and immediate response (without pressure) to my many initial and now, occasional on-going questions. And finally, timing. MHD would have available puppies late in June - perfect timing for me.

As a long-time dog owner, the biggest leap for me was not being able to choose my own pup, but in the end, it was also the best thing for us. My husband and I took a deep breath and agreed to accept the puppy (any puppy) that Tori and her team would choose for us. I admit, it was scary, and at times I worried about whether I would bond with a pup that someone else had chosen.

At this point, the puppies were planned but not yet conceived. That meant several months of anticipating every milestone (confirmation of pregnancy, birth, watching them grow on Instagram and Facebook, and finally - the puppy reveal at 7 weeks.) It was like waiting for the birth of a baby. Trying not to fall in love with certain puppy faces because they might belong to someone else in the end was... tricky. But in the end, Tori and family made the perfect match for us. We too are thrilled with our little Mountain Home Doodle, Moose!

Moose is such a character - everything I hoped to find. Funny, adventurous, sweet, smart and very people forward. We love him so much! Thank you, Mountain Home Doodles, for our new little buddy. You have our highest recommendation!
