Purebred. Pure hearts.
WARM HEARTS, FAMILIAR FACES
The holidays are upon us and we still have two Doodle puppies looking for their forever homes. These two have hung out in between the Discovery Hill farmhouse, spending time at my feet throughout my day, and their breeder's house in Lyndonville. Each little girl tugs at our respective family's heartstrings every day and reminds us of all we have to be grateful for. In the meantime, they are doing wonderful in their potty/crate training and house manners. We are so proud of these sweethearts!
​​​​
Back in February 2024, we were contacted by Jason of Twisted Doods. A local artist, he had decided to venture into breeding and chose our sire, Hippo, to produce a gorgeous litter of Aussiedoodles. The dam, Borealis, is the F1 progeny of a standard poodle and standard Aussie. We were blown away by the phenomenal temperament of Bori when we met her, and her puppies take after her beautifully. Jason wanted to create a more abstract look for the pups. His vision also emphasizes the Australian Shepherd features in this carefully crafted F1b litter of Aussiedoodles; namely bred for intelligence, loyalty, and personality.
​​​​​
The result is a sweet, calmer, and highly intuitive batch of pups we have listed in partnership with him. With 11 total coming out of this litter, these are the last left available at this time, with no plans to breed doodles again in the near future. Jason raised these puppies in his home through five weeks of age (the time pivotal for them to trust humans), then introduced them to farm life in the Northeast Kingdom. When they hit three months old, Discovery Hill agreed to let the remaining puppies live with us inside our home to get lots of one-on-one time with our family .... and socialization with our dogs and kitten! Fall time brought the two last pups back to Jason, who has been hiking with them regularly up near Lake Willoughby. We have walked them through several milestones, but I am convinced there is another friend for each of the girls that simply hasn't found them yet. Is it you?
​​
Come meet us and the little girls and find out. But be careful ... you won't want to leave without them!
​​​​​​
Birthdate was 4/19/24 - these pups are ready to go home today!
​​​​​
The price per pup for this litter has been $2,250 plus Vermont sales tax, where applicable. For these last two, we will consider all reasonable offers for the right home.

Marina
Marina is almost all black (except a tiny bit of white on her sock) and has more of the classic Aussie features. Sleek and beautiful with her elegantly long tail, her feminine grace shows through her puppy energy. Marina has been the most reserved pup of the litter. She loves you, and wants to be loved, but she is, perhaps, the most feline personality in how she expresses that. Marina also loves quiet time in her kennel. Where her "grandma" (me) prefers reading books and her "grandpa" (Jason) prefers artwork, she's a kindred spirit in simply wanting to be by your side wherever you are finding your peace.
​​
Marina is calm, gentle, and waiting to meet you. She has been socialized with kids, cats, people of all genders, and has had some leash work, crate and potty training. (Her mountain hikes are off lead and she will need a little "reminder" work if she goes to a leash home.) Marina has also had exposure to water play from a very early age. So if you are looking for a future swimming, hiking, or skiing partner, this might be your girl!
​​
Don't take our word for it, though. Come see her yourself. But be careful if you do - you’ll want to take her home before you go!

Louise
Louise is a gorgeous black and white doodle with straight guard hairs. Those probing wells she has for eyes run deep. Trained with vocal commands by Jason and with food and praise at Discovery Hill, this girl is thoughtful, gentle, and absolutely gorgeous.​
​
One of our favorite things about Louise is her desire to please. She just loves affection - and treats. So much with the treats. The bestest at leash training, great in her crate, and potty-trained, she's our please-with-double-cheese Louise.
​​
We can see her trying to anticipate what we want and doing her tricks before she's even asked to, wagging her tail as she waits for praise. She even tries to smile like a human being - with her full mouth pulled back and teeth showing - although the way it translates for doggies is hilarious (see below goofy photo). Maybe this girl has a future in comedy? We love you Louise, and we love how you make us laugh!
​​
Named after Louise Bourgeois, a French-American artist whose sculpture and installation work was among the first to address feminist themes in the modern art world.
Anticipated full grown weight: 45-55 lbs.
