Nashville Doodle Club is a members' club for families and their doodles. We raise a select few dogs each year at our home in Franklin, just south of Nashville. Every one is numbered for life, and every family is welcomed in.
Most breeders say goodbye at the door. We would rather say welcome.
Vol. 1 · Winter 2026
It started with Blue and Nash.
Blue is our blue merle mini Aussiedoodle: fourteen pounds, blue eyes, and the heart of our home. Nash is an apricot multigenerational Goldendoodle with a calm, easy way about him. Their puppies are raised in our living room and handled every day by our children.

DNA tested and confirmed non-merle, so there is no double-merle risk. Double furnished, for the classic doodle face.
The roster
Numbers are given in birth order, the day each puppy arrives. A small dog means a small litter, likely about four. We will know the count after the late-October X-ray.
- Nº 001
- Nº 002
- Nº 003
- Nº 004
The key
One for the family, one for the dog.
On homecoming day, each family is handed a key: a navy hotel-style fob on a small gold ring, with their dog's number on the back. The dog wears a matching round tag. Same number, for life.
“We're Nº 004.”

Questions
How big will they get?
Mom is 14 lb and dad is 13 lb, so we expect adults of roughly 12 to 18 lb. Every dog is a little different.
Are they hypoallergenic?
No dog is truly hypoallergenic. With strong Poodle genetics and furnishings from both sides, we expect low-shedding coats, but we can't guarantee allergy outcomes.
What grooming do they need?
Brushing two to three times a week, and a professional groom every six to eight weeks. We'll help you start a routine early.
Can we visit?
Yes. Reserved families are welcome from about five weeks. We keep visits short and clean to protect the puppies.
Is the deposit refundable?
The deposit is non-refundable. If no puppy matches your preference when it's your turn, you may choose a full refund or move to a future volume.
What if life changes?
Call us first, always. We'll take the dog back or help find the right home. It's part of our contract.
What is Club membership?
For doodle families whose dog came from somewhere else. It opens in 2027, after Vol. 1 has gone home. Mention it in your application and we'll write when it opens.
