Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind North Ridge Doodles located in Strathcona , MN. At North Ridge Doodles we raise Aussiedoodle puppies that are highly trainable, healthy, and did I mention adorable?! All of our puppies are raised right in our home making them well socialized and begging for human attention by the time they are ready to go to their "fur-ever" homes.

Terhya’s experience

  • About Terhya

    I am from northern Minnesota where I live on a small farm with my husband. During high school, I worked as a CNA at our local nursing home and loved caring for others. After high school, I attended community college for my LPN. Working as an LPN for almost a year, I hated not being home with my animals and decided to quit and start raising dogs. I started working with a mentor and the rest is history.

  • What makes Terhya’s program special

    We do not have any children, and my husband has a great job allowing me to stay home with the dogs 24/7. I get to be with them day in and day out making it so I really know my puppies. This helps me find the perfect puppy for each of my customers. Also living in the country our breeding dogs get to live life out of kennels and really get to enjoy being part of the family.

  • Why Terhya started breeding

    I worked for a good friend, also my mentor for a little over a year. I then purchased my first dogs and continued to work for her between litters. This helped me feel so much more prepared.
