Premier breeder of standard Labradoodles for 26 years

We are the Dixon Family and we want to thank you for visiting our web site. 

We are located in Meridian, Idaho.

The birth of Dixon’s Ark Ranch came 26 years ago with the purchase of our 1st Poodle, Pearl. She was a black standard poodle that was full of life and our family adored her. To give Pearl a bit of companionship we later purchased Sir Maximus of Freedom from Nebraska (born Sept. 11th 2001). The dogs were a joy to be with. Smart, engaging, excellent temperament with younger kids. We couldn't have asked for more in two beautiful pets.

We had enough room that we felt we could add to the family so we then purchased 2 cows, 2 Boer goats, 2 Pygmy goats and 2 Suffolk sheep.

 The Ark was beginning to fill up, Dixon’s Ark Ranch was truly born! 

For Labradoodle breeding, our daddy is Casper, an F1b Labradoodle (his Daddy was Rico, a brown & white Standard Poodle that fathered two Grand Champions in the AKC) and our momma is Dixie, a Standard Poodle creating F2b pups.

We focus on each and every pup to ensure it will be a healthy, happy part of its new family.  Each pup receives individual care from birth, including hand feeding as needed to keep all pups energetic and playful.

 Overall we only allow each dam to have three to six litters total. This ensures she lives a happy and full life, without experiencing discomfort and health issues due to over-breeding and lack of care.  When we retire a dam we find a home for her just as we would with any pup.  Retired dams make an excellent choice for people with disabilities, young children, or other reasons they do not want an energetic young pup.

 

We breed for the love of the Labradoodle. 

Every effort has been made by us to produce a litter both physically and mentally sound. 

We will stand behind our pups, however you must accept full responsibility for proper care once the puppy leaves our home.

 Each puppy goes home at 8 weeks with a toy, starter bag of food,  collar,  vaccination record, and all the love we can give him along with our guarantee!
