Good Day Doodles History:
Good Day Doodles was founded in 2009 with Dr. Rebecca Pugh due to her love of science and her awe and admiration of the breed. She was beyond impressed with the Australian Labradoodle and its ability to be used in the therapy and service work arena. As a doctor, her mission has always been to help people. She began Good Day Doodles with two foundation dogs, Sophie and Mia, and grew Good Day Doodles into a breeding program with an impeccable reputation with long and established lines.
In 2013, I ( Ashley Preston), her daughter, came aboard to help raise “one litter” and just never quit. I was hooked. I was fascinated with learning about reproduction science, puppy rearing, and the socialization involved in creating such a dynamic and service-oriented breed. I was lucky to have such a wonderful mentor and teacher these last 10 years. To have been able to work hand in hand with someone with such a highly regarded reputation In the Australian labradoodle world has been invaluable. My mom has since retired and is now enjoying beach life with her three doods, including those foundation dogs that were there with her at the very beginning. I am so excited to continue Good Day Doodles with the same high standards and attention to detail as she did. Maybe one day I will be lucky enough to pass the torch to my boys as mom did with me.
