Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Backyard Doodles located in Delta, CO. We focus on Puppy Culture with each litter, to help the puppy make a smooth transition from mom to the new home. The moms and dad live on our property and we interact with them daily. We are a new and upcoming mini Aussiedoodle breeder. We love our dogs so much and know you will too.

Michelle’s experience

  • About Michelle

    I am the contact person for our lovely puppies, however, my family is very helpful with interacting and working with our furry moms and dad. We do our best to provide high quality, healthy and happy furry puppies for you and your family.

  • What makes Michelle’s program special

    We do Puppy Culture with each litter to prepare the puppies for life away from their mom.
