Welcome! I'm Kristen Brugger, and along with my husband and our four children, we run a small, family-based breeding program where our dogs are truly part of our home and hearts.

At Brugger’s Doodles & Poodles, we specialize in raising happy, healthy Miniature Poodles and Goldendoodles using early socialization practices and Puppy Culture protocols. Our goal is to give each puppy the very best start so they grow into confident, well-adjusted companions ready to thrive in their forever homes.

With years of hands-on experience raising poodles and doodles—and plenty of firsthand knowledge about what it’s like to bring home a new puppy—I’m passionate about doing things the right way. That means:

• Raising our puppies in-home, not in kennels

• Beginning potty training before their eyes even open

• Practicing early crate training and socialization

• Keeping their environment clean and calm, to teach healthy habits

• Using desensitization techniques to reduce anxiety and build confidence

Whether you're looking for a playful pup to grow with your family or a gentle, loyal companion, we’re here to help guide you toward the perfect match. We’re proud of the love, care, and purpose that go into each and every puppy we raise—and when you bring one home, you become part of the Brugger family too.
