Joanie’s experience
About Joanie
My husband Brian and I along with our children raise each puppy with love and dedication to prepare them for your family. We homeschool our children on our little hobby farm, caring for a menagerie of animals, huge garden, and fruit orchard. We work together loving and nurturing each puppy to ensure a happy, healthy, stable dog ready for life in your home.
What makes Joanie’s program special
The time we take with each family in the selection process. We are confident in the health, and temperament of our puppies. The care we provide is top-notch. I love working with each individual family to help them choose the puppy of their dreams. Follow up, including an annual puppy reunion and romp makes our program special.

What's included
Enrichment and socialization
We work hard to socialize and introduce your puppy to many children, pets and new environments before they leave our home for yours. Children must be taught to be kind and gentle with a new puppy, but also be firm to avoid bad habits. Our puppies do well with cats and other pets as well. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Socialized with Cats, Socialized with Children, and Socialized with Adult Dogs.
Puppy health practices
Our Vet works closely with us. She is who we depend on for medical advice. Our puppies go home de-wormed, and up to date on all age-appropriate vaccinations, and receive a thorough vet exam. As well as removing dewclaws and tail docking.
Extras
Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While Just Doodling hasn’t shared specifics yet, we encourage you to reach out directly to learn what thoughtful extras they may include to help your puppy transition comfortably into their new home.
