Let's Talk!
First off, I want to thank-you for taking the time to read our website and for your interest in our precious
TeddyBearDoodles.
We are located in Southern Gulf Coast of Alabama, near the Florida line, in the very beautiful Rosinton community, we
are right on the way to Sunny Gulf Shores. Many of our clients like to schedule a few days the beach, prior to picking
up their puppies, this makes for a great vacation experience.
Our Team:
We raise our five children on our beautiful eight acres along with our Famous English Goldens & English
Goldendoodles and Teddy Bear Schnoodles. We are committed to research and development of our dogs, we are
committed to produce healthy, sound, well tempered beautiful puppies that will become beloved members of your
family for many years. We offer a 2 year health guarantee, and a lifetime of support and friendship from myself and
my wonderful Team of dedicated staff; Beverly is my office manager, Nikki my full-time groom and Vet tech, along
with Eydie and Dawn who are guardian moms.
Our puppies are all highly socialized from birth. This is a very unique environment that we live in and we feel that our
family and puppies are raised in a very special way. We despise puppy mills and encourage visits so you can be
assured that your puppy is coming from the best possible situation. Our puppies are raised inside by hand. They are
highly socialized by my children and the children of the guardian families. We welcome visitors but I must warn you, we
have never had a visitor who did not end up with one of our puppies. You will enjoy your visit and you will realize that
our pets literally have resort style living. We will allow visitors but I want you to be prepared to be totally Detoxed
before we allow our puppies to have any visitors, this id s
There is always a lot of excitement around here, especially when we have puppies. We love to have visitors, if you are
ever in the area please feel free to make an appointment to come by and see us. We will be happy to show you a little
southern hospitality.
I know that it's important for you to be able to see where your puppy lives so I have included some pictures of our
home and land. We have lots of new construction going on around here, we have a very elaborate facility that is the
home base for the dogs that are special enough to be chosen to a part or our exclusive breeding program. We have a
top notch state of the art facility and we make sure that our dogs have the best of everything. We have heated and
cooled inside rooms, large airy out door runs with lots of shade, and a new birthing room that reminds me of the
nursery where I had my children. We also have a grooming room filled with beautiful art work that my children have
created, along with fully equipped vet office in which my veterinarian can come and vaccinate and examine our dogs.

This is my full time job, it's a lot of work but it is truly a labor of love for me. I just sold my company to be available all
day to care for my babies. I can now add "professional pooper scooper" to my resume. I love taking care of these
precious little ones. I was in the medical field so I hate germs and I have to keep things squeaky clean, which keeps me
extremely busy. I love to have freshly groomed dogs so I have a professional groomer that helps me out, and of course
my wonderful husband and children stay very busy as well.
There is absolutely NO way that I could do this all alone and I am proud to say that my retired father Billy Joe Gray
(paw paw) has come on board to help me with all of the daily chores, he's been a real blessing to me.
I am also very grateful to have wonderful "Guardian Homes" which are families that help in the raising of some of our
dogs. This means that all of our dogs are not always here on site, if you feel that you would like to meet our dogs it is
important to schedule an appointment so that I can coordinate a time that would be convenient with their guardian
families as well. The dogs that are in the guardian program belong to us, but live with their guardians, they come to us
for the breeding, they return home to whelp their puppies, once the puppies are born, I have regular visits with them
and take lots of pictures, they are raised and socialized by the guardian families until they are weaned. Once they are
weaned they come here to stay, they are temperament tested and evaluated after which they are matched with their
new families. They are visited here, picked up from here, if you need your puppy shipped then I will schedule the flight.
We also provide lifetime support and a two year health guarantee. We also provide the FORUM which provides great
references, all the families that post on our forum , received their puppy from us, they have a wealth of information
and they are very willing to share it with new puppy owners and the friendly inquirer.
Goldendoodles have become extremely popular and I know that you have lots of questions about this breed.
Please visit my FYI page for more detailed information
Thanks so much for taking the time to visit our web page and allowing me to share with you a little bit of who we are.
References:
Our reputation is very important to us. We have worked for over 15 years with many families that we have developed
wonderful relationships with. Many of our puppies are placed from referrals from previous puppy owners. We have
several second, third, fourth, and even fifth time repeat puppy owners. I have to warn you, TeddyBearDoodles are
addictive and it has become obvious that NOT many people can have just one.
As with anyone who deals with people, over time, there will eventually be issues that will need to be resolved. Our goal
is to always handle a concern from a client with the highest of ethics and fairness.
Two great references:
We have been evaluated by the Department of Agriculture and the Better Business Bureau. They both gave us raving
reviews. Actually the BBB has one of our TeddyBearGoldendoodles named Stevie Ray, who is the Mascot of their
office.
Our Forum:
We understand how hard it is to get a puppy from someone that you have never met. We wanted to figure out a way
that potential puppy owners could feel more comfortable with us, and the whole Internet puppy adoption process,
especially since we have had a very misguided person attack our character on the web. It is sad that people can use the
internet to say anything that they want and there is no accountability for them or any recourse for us. Because of these
kinds of people, I added the forum for our puppy owners and potential puppy owners to be able to chat back and forth.
This has been very rewarding for us and our puppy families. We have gotten to know our puppy families in a way that
we could have never done
without the Forum. We have had a lot of fun. We have laughed together; we have cried together. Our forum has
become a very important part of many of our lives.
If you are not going to have the opportunity to come here to pick up your puppy, then you can email other puppy
families that did get to come in and pick-up their puppies. They can assure you, that what you see pictured on our site
is actually what you would see if you were able to visit us personally.
Sadly, many times breeders represent themselves differently on the web than they actually are.
Our Forum is the Best Place to get to know us and get references!
