Our Road to Gem Doodles...
Hello, welcome to Gem Doodles. I’m Beth… mom, wife, lover of hiking, fitness, and adventure. I am blessed to live under the Montana big sky with my husband, Doug. We have 3 grown sons whose names begin with G, E, and M…. the GEM in Gem Doodles! All 3 boys are Eagle Scouts and Doug has spent the last 15 years mentoring youth as leader of a Boy Scout Troop. In addition to Doodling, I am passionate about raising money to help kids struggling with mental health. This is an issue close to my heart and is also tied to the reason our family began working with this amazing breed.
Ethan is our middle son and is very open about his mental health challenges which include Autism and Anxiety Disorder. Dogs have always had a therapeutic effect on Ethan. Growing up, we would often find him asleep in the crate alongside his dog when he needed a calming force.
Meanwhile, my sister has been a successful breeder of Muligenerational Australian Labradoodles for years (Kings Lane Labradoodles, NC) and offered to mentor us through the process of opening our own program, as a way for Ethan to spend his time working with these therapeutic dogs. Debbie has been so generous with her time, knowledge, and resources. It is such a blessing to be mentored by someone who has taught us to maintain the highest of standards in every aspect of the process, and to fiercely protect the Multigenerational ALD bloodline and the traits it yields. Working with and caring for our Doodles has proven to be very beneficial for Ethan, and that spurs us on even more to want to share this amazing breed with others.
Whether our clients are looking for a calming friend, adventure buddy, lap warmer, or anywhere in between… we are honored to be able to nurture, train, and unite these sweet pups with their forever families. We just know you will love them as much as we do!
We look forward to working with you to bring home your very own Gem Doodle!
