Family Raised Doodles
First and foremost, our pups are raised with love in our busy home alongside our 5 children.
Everyone always asks me, “How do you do it?? You MUST be a super mom.” The truth of the matter is that I have a lot of people standing behind me, supporting me, and making every day happen. -Jillian
Our Founder:
We owe our existence and success to one extraordinary individual - Jillian, our devoted founder. Not only is she a loving wife and mother to both human and fur babies, but she is also a seasoned expert in the world of dog training, showing, and breeding. Jillian's journey with dogs began at the tender age of 13, and her passion has only grown stronger over the years.
Through her extensive experience, Jillian stumbled upon a truly remarkable breed - the Goldendoodle. With their incredible kindness and affectionate nature, Goldendoodles captured Jillian's heart effortlessly. Instantly recognizing their potential as loving family companions, she dove headfirst into building a community of Goldendoodle enthusiasts connected through Windsong Doodles.
For over a decade, Jillian has dedicated herself to establishing a legacy of Goldendoodle families. Her commitment and compassion have created a safe haven where these delightful creatures can flourish and bond with their forever homes. She has tirelessly striven to ensure that each pup bred by Windsong Doodles is raised with love and care, with a focus on producing dogs that embody the very best qualities of the Goldendoodle breed.

Love Begins at Home
At Windsong Doodles, we believe that love is the foundation of everything we do. We have fallen in love with what we do and have dedicated our time, resources, and HOME to raising well-socialized pups.
Our commitment to providing a nurturing and home environment for our parent dogs and precious little puppies. This is truly what sets us apart.
We want to emphasize that we are not a kennel; we are a devoted family comprised of young children, caring adults, beloved pets, and an abundance of love.
From the very beginning, our parent dogs are not just cared for; they are cherished in homes. We prioritize creating a loving and comfortable environment for them, ensuring that they are healthy, happy, and well-adjusted.
When it comes to our adorable puppies, they are welcomed to the world in our very own home. This intimate start to life allows them to be surrounded by the warmth and familiarity of a household, complete with everyday sounds, the joyful laughter of children, the comforting presence of cats, and the nurturing care of our team.
We firmly believe that by providing this kind of home environment, we play a pivotal role in cultivating sweet-tempered puppies that are not only genetically sound but also exceptionally well-socialized.
With five young children and two furry feline friends, rest assured that your new puppy will be enveloped in love, socialization, and we have received feedback that the adjustment to the hustle and bustle of everyday life in a bustling, family-oriented home is oftentimes seamless.
