“Expressive and smart, Rory is truly one of a kind, and I don't think I've ever seen another dog receive so many compliments on the streets and at the dog park. Thanks, Sue!"

"I am one of Sue's companion families, we have one of her Irish setters. I am also a licensed veterinary technician. I have worked with many breeders over the 28 years i have been an LVT and believe me there are many that do worse and dont care about the dogs or people they are selling too.. I have been so happy with working with Sue. She is so compassionate about her dogs and puppies. She truly loves what she does. She has very high standards and I am so glad about that. We have one of my Margot's puppies because he didn't meet Sue's standards to sell. I was so impressed with her decision not to sell him. She is looking out to everyone on the list to get the perfect puppy. I would reccomend Mckenzies doodles to anyone and I do."
"Hi! I’m sarah and reside in Youngstown, Ohio. I stumbled on Mckenzies Doodles from many failed internet searches and couldn’t have been more happy to have found them! Lucy (Irishdoodle) came to me in December of 2012 and was apart of the Mac and Maggie litter born on 10/31/2012. I can’t believe she will be 10 this year! She has brought so much joy to my life and to everyone she meets. I was so impressed with Mckenzies Doodles, so much so, that I am a participate of their wonderful companion program. Sally (Irishsetter) born 7/25/2018 is an Irishdoodle “mom” and has become an integral part of the family here in Ohio. I don’t know what Sally and Lucy would do with out each other! It is so fun to see how much happiness she has given to so many families! It is nice to see a breeder that cares so much for the doodle moms and doodle dads. I have no fear that they are always taking excellent care of Sally when she is visiting her second home in Virginia ❤️" -Sarah H.
"Cooper is our Irish Doodle( Blue Boy from Margot and Rusty litter January 2021). He is 13 plus months old,50-52Lbs, and getting taller by the day. He is super smart with a Goofy, but loving personality. His color is a stunning red with super soft waves of curl. He loves ice cubes, peanut butter, and Crunchy O's (Fromm dog treats). He finds entertainment in stealing a shoe or sock, just for the love of the chase! He even knows his toys by name 🙂. He is very social and receives compliments on every outing. Cooper has brought so much joy and laughter into our home. Thank you so much for raising such an awesome breed of Doodle." - Shannon and Chris Fowler
"This is Maple from the 8/28/2021 Tessie and Rusty litter. Shes about 45 lbs now and still growing. We love her so much. She's a perfect addition to our family. She's very friendly and sweet. She loves to be with her human siblings and gets all the cuddles from everyone in the family. She is very smart. She aced her puppy training class and has very good manners." -Kristy J.
"Liffey from the Riley and Toby litter of February 2020. She is the absolute best dog. She loves to run off leash and to carry sticks around while she walks. She is the sweetest girl who loves to be near her humans but also loves her time to recharge. I highly recommend McKenzies doodles every time someone asks where we got her. I would absolutely get another Irish doodle from them." -Kristen K.
"This is Phoebe. She was born 1-20-21 to Reagan and Rusty. She is a beautiful Irish Doodle. Phoebe loves to play with her fur siblings. She loves the snow and being outside in general. She is a big girl and loves getting hugs and attention. She has brought much joy to our family. The process with McKenzies Doodles was top notch. Would highly recommend this breeder!!!!" -Tammy M.
"This is Ivy, an Irish Doodle born on 12-31-2019 to Bodie and Rusty. She is a super sweet, gentle and smart girl. Will do anything for a cookie! Her fur is a beautiful mix of both parents, super soft and cuddly. Her athletic abilities amaze us daily. She is tall and lanky weighing about 43 pounds. Everyone she meets comment on how beautiful and well behaved she is. We couldn’t be happier with our choice of breeder! A big thank you to McKenzies Doodles! 💫💟" -Marsha W.
"This is Lola - Body and Rusty 12/31/2020 irishdoodle . She is the sweetest smartest girl and loves all people (especially kids) and dogs. She weighs 50 pounds and loves any kind of peanut butter treat and ball! Everyone comments how adorable and sweet she is!! She has the best temperament!!" -Laurie Z.
"This is Juniper (10/8/2020) Bodie & Rusty Irishdoodle girl. 🎀 She was part of our engagement in December and in 3 weeks we will be getting married!! I have had over 7 dogs throughout my life and she was by far the easiest puppy to train. She’s so smart, playful, and cuddly. She loves going for long walks and playing with other dogs. The best part about her is her super strong personality that makes her feel almost human. She gets along well with infants and all types of dogs! We are already looking into getting another Irishdoodle from McKenzie doodles, as well as, we have recommended you to multiple families!" -Shannon R.
"This is Roo. He is from Willow and Kubby’s Jan 2014 Irishdoodle litter. He’s absolutely the best dog. He’s 90 lbs and loves counter surfering, hikes, snow and chasing our outdoor neighbor cats." -Katie G.
"This is Splash, an Irish Doodle. He was born to Bree and Rory on 1/2/2018. He is lucky to live at the beach (Ocean City, NJ) and totally lives up to his name as he attacks the ocean when he swims. Splash is also incredibly smart and just an awesome dog. Everyone loves him!" -Kay J.
"This is Robin and Dougie (F1B Irish doodles) from the Josie and Rusty litter, born June 2021! They love having each other to play with every single day 💛" -Laura C.
"We have the only girl, girl light pink, from Bodie and Rory, Irishdoodle litter, born on 5/30/2018. Piper is the best addition to our family. We got Piper before we had any children. She now is a big sister to our 13 month old, who she is so gentle and kind to. She puts up with a lot from a newly walking sister. We never have to worry about Piper when the baby is sticking her hands right into Pipers mouth. I can’t recommend an Irishhdoodle enough for people with children. Piper loves to play fetch, run around in her yard and take walks. She has good energy but can relax with the best of them. If your looking for the best family pet, an Irishdoodle is for you. I can’t wait until we can get Piper a friend!" -The Brindza Family
"We purchased Owen in July 2020. He is an Irish doodle from Toby and Margot. He absolutely the best. He always gets compliments on his coat. He is also always called the friendliest dog. He is full of energy. He’s super smart and loves to be trained. Hobbies include: chasing deer, cuddles, long walks and playing with his best friends." -Sarah C.
Where to start with Mr. Rigby Pants? He totally brightens my day, every day! The whole family just adores him, even our cat Solo. He is so agreeable to anything, sweet, playful (but not too playful), easily trainable and well behaved. We thought we were in for it when he threw up everytime he took a ride in the car his first year, but as our vet told us he (thankfully) outgrew it and now perks up every time you mention going for a ride. He LOVES being outside and will just lay in the yard for hours when it isn't too hot and he loves his daily walks. He is a great travel companion and has been on several vacations with us. And although I would not say he loves to swim, he does love romping through water and jumping over waves at the beach. We shower him with kisses everyday and he loves to give hugs back. He grew to a whopping 76 lbs and gets so much attention - he is so handsome! He is a little timid around new people, but it only makes him cuter because he is so big. We could not recommend Mckenzie's Doodles more highly and tell everyone so when they ask where Riggs came from. They have family in mind when they breed their dogs and our Rigby is proof that whatever is in the sauce works like magic!" -Jamie Q.
Zach and I took home our girl Cayenne on September 1, 2019 from your Bailey/Rusty litter born July 5, 2019. Cayenne was the light yellow girl :) We are so thankful to have Cayenne in our lives. She brings us so much joy with her loving, energetic, and adventurous personality! Camille and Zach
"We bought our dog Charlie, the Irish Doodle from you a year ago. We just love him. He was one of the smaller ones, and now weighs right at 50lbs, but has very long legs. He is such a character. He's very smart and has been getting along with our new baby. I found out I was pregnant the weekend we picked him up. We never really had any problems with him chewing things up. He does like to run so we go every morning and sometimes at night too depending on the weather. He can be a little stubborn sometimes, probably because he is so smart. He is just great. We get compliments on him constantly! His dad is Mac and his mom is Megan. He was born April 24th, 2014. Thanks again. We just love our Charlie!" Tami S.
"This is Cleo, the Wonder Dog. She is a year old, long legged, 55 pounds and full of fun. She has had no health problems at all. She had long curly hair that we now keep trimmed in a puppy cut. At least in these early months of her life, she's been craving plenty of exercise and the company of other dogs, she runs/plays off leash every morning for over an hour every day, and goes to day care from 12-5 every weekday where she plays with other dogs. We also give her two short walks in the evening. On weekends, we are sure to get her out for a long hike, no matter what the weather. When she is not running around with us or her dog pals, she likes to keep me or my husband in view, preferring to rest in a room where we are working. She's not a cuddly dog but very social, she likes being a regular loyal presence. She is super friendly and has a tail wag for every human and nearly every dog. Her lovely color and great temperament have made her a bit of a celebrity in the neighborhood. She is alert and smart, and, given enough exercise, not hyper just kind of curious. She has good recall, will come and sit. She's keen to do what we ask (as long as she understands it). Loves pretty much everything, walking, running, fetching, riding in the car, old people, kids, etc. In the year we've had her, I've never seen her act aggressively. She is bringing us a great deal of joy and we are grateful we got to be be Cleo's humans!" Peg and Peter
"It has been a year since we brought Cosmo home ("Boy Orange" from Megan and Rory's December 2016 litter). What an incredible joy he has been! He has the sweetest disposition and has been a perfect companion from the moment we brought him home. He makes friends everywhere he goes and everyone comments what a good-natured, well-behaved boy he is. His beautiful copper waves are like a magnet - anyone who sees him just has to pet him! He has truly completed our family and we are so thankful for him." Julie F
"This is Daisy! We got puppy blue from Maggie and Rory. We all LOVE her so much!!!! She's the very best ~ smart, sweet and precious. We've given many people your name because every place we take her, people of course love her and ask where we got her. I hope some of them have found you!" Daphne A
"Just a quick note to thank you for this amazing little (or not so little) pup! He's settling in wonderfully, and we couldn't love him more!" Amanda S
We picked Banks up from Hannah end of April. He's a great sleeper...just working through his jumpy-ness. David and Robin H.
"Our Dudley (Irish doodle from Megan / Rory) is just over 7 months and he is the most amazing puppy we could have asked for. My wife is already suggesting we think about getting a second puppy in a year or so because she wants Dudley to have someone to play with besides just us. He literally loves every other dog and person he meets and is so gentle with children (we are expecting a baby boy in September!). We run him around all the time and he is just such an amazing addition to our family." Sherwin P.
"My husband and I purchased our puppy (boy blue) last June from the Megan/Mac litter that were born on April 12th. We live in Old Town, Alexandria, Virginia. We cannot imagine our lives without Finnegan! He is so sweet. He loves playing with other dogs, playing fetch, playing tug of war, and gathering sticks. He became a big brother in November when Chris and I welcomed our daughter. Finnegan has been so kind and gentle to his little sister. He lays next to her when she is playing on her activity mat. Often, we find him sleeping in her nursery when she is napping in her crib. Finnegan is quite a celebrity in town. We are constantly stopped by people to ask about our dog. Walks generally take double the time they should because we are constantly answering questions about Finn and letting people pet him. People have even stopped us to take his picture. He loves the attention :) Our dog walker even left us notes to tell us how handsome he is: she compares him to James Bond - handsome and sporty. Finnegan is so smart! A few weeks before his first birthday he passed his canine for good citizenship test. We are so proud of him. Thank you so very much for breeding such an amazing dog. We are absolutely in love with him!" Heather L
"I have to keep reminding myself this puppy is only 8 weeks. He is so responsive and intelligent and willing that when he has an accident I have to remind myself about not getting frustrated - he is the smallest of puppies developmentally right now! hahaha. He has signaled a few times he has to go out by sitting at the door, he has learned to be gentle with the kids and rough with the parents. He sits calmly while figuring out any concerning situation and already recognizes his kennel is "safe" and runs there for a nap or when he doesn't want to share his toy with the kids or our other dog. Hilarious! I have also been surprised by how well adjusted he is. We have what equates to a co-sleeping situation next to our bed - where he cannot get out but he can jump up, paws on bed, to see us. He periodically jumps up, gives a lick and goes back to sleep without a fuss - wish I had thought of this before with our other dog! He has so far been living up to everything we wanted in our next dog, with vastly more intelligence than expected. We would have been very happy with a thick-headed playful, loving dog and struck gold instead with an Irish Doodle who is quick-witted to boot. Such a charmer!" Nicole R
"Fraggle has become more than any of our hopes. We can teach a new trick in under 10 minutes, he has there softest no shed spiral curls, we can leave him uncaged over night, run miles quietly by our side on a roadside or mountain trail, and behaves himself whether alone at home or in a crowded park. That is all basic, what has blown us away is his utter comedic personality. He smiles when worried or excited, grabs his leash to go for a walk, grabs a toy and plays games by himself and each day we wonder what new antic he will come up with. Literally, there is nothing we would change about him. We are slated to have him/us be tested and certified on Nov20 with Therapy Dogs International (TDI and canine good citizen) to obtain membership which allows us to volunteer in hospitals and with kids. I certified our other dog and expect no issue with Fraggle. He will bring so many smiles and comfort, I can't wait! Once he gets his TDI card and bandana, I will send pictures so you can use on your website if you wish. He can jump a 3-4ft block without pause and I hope to have my 10 year old do an Agility club with him. Again, I will send pictures as confirmation and for your promotional purposes. Wherever we go (I mean, anywhere and everywhere. ) we get approached over his behavior, big size and prancy gaited muppet look. Twice I was approached over potentially breeding him, even before he hit a year! One from a local doodle breeder and the other from a friend who simply loved him and breeds other dogs. His personality and looks are that fetching. Thank you for giving us what my friends lovingly refer to as "the dog in a dog suit"!" Nicole
"I bought an Irish Doodle puppy from you in June of 2014. I wanted to thank you for giving me such a wonderful puppy. Gryffin truly is the best thing that ever happened to my husband and I. He is a wonderful dog and we love him so much. He was from the Megan/Mac litter born in April of 2014. Gryffin is a straight haired Irish doodle and so beautiful. I'm attaching a couple of pics for you to see what a beautiful dog he is!! Thanks again for our baby." Navita K
"I just wanted to send you a picture of our sweet Harper from our family photos back in early November. We can not tell you how much joy he has brought to our life already. He is such a well behaved puppy and has just the best temperament we have ever seen. At his 4 month vet visit he weighed in at 38 pounds. They think that he could easily reach close to 70 pounds!!" Melissa W
"Our Irish doodle Harper may have just turned 2, but there is nothing "terrible" about her except that she's terribly cute, sweet, loving, friendly and fun-loving. We can't imagine our lives without her. (Megan/Mac litter born 4/14). Thanks again!" Stacie and Tod (Doylestown PA)
"The review about Ruby might as well be written about our Hazel (green string)!! Gorgeous red color, easy potty training, tolerant of our youngs kids, mouthy, excited to meet new people, sensitive stomach (we switched from Fromm to Nature's Balance), and loved by the groomer. Even the pic is a spitting image of Hazel. Although Hazel is tall enough, she would never steal food from the counter. She will just put her nose to the counter and take in the smells!" Kirk S
"Our hearts overflow with affection and adoration for our gorgeous bundle of fur, Helly, from Maggie and Kubby's April 2014 litter. Words cannot express the abundance of love, happiness, and gratitude we have felt since bringing Helly home. She is now 6 months old and continues to charm us with her amazing personality. Helly is such an affectionate, intelligent, loyal, photogenic, and incredibly well adjusted puppy. Her inquisitive, yet placid, temperament continually amazes us, our family, and friends. Helly even receives daily praises from strangers that she is the sweetest and most adorable dog they have ever seen. People actually ask if she is real, as she looks like a teddy bear. And her beautiful cinnamon-colored coat continues to grow more curly and soft. It is an absolute credit to you that we are able to have our precious Helly. Everyone asks where we got her and we happily tell them all about McKenzie Doodles and how wonderful you have been. Thank you so much for everything. We feel so fortunate to have the perfect puppy and find it difficult to remember our life without her!" Tiffany & Emily
"Here is Isla, I cannot believe that she turned 5 today...wow how time flies! She is just the best dog ever, everyone that meets her loves her and my kids all adore her. She is of course my "pal" and follows me everywhere, she is my best friend!! She has calmed down a lot this year, we still run most days with her, and any opportunity she comes with us in the car! I don't know what we ever did before having her!!" Diane F
"This is Keaton. He was the red puppy in the May litter of willow and Rory. We got our first snow last night and he loves it! Catching snowballs..." Renee M
Maisie is the best! She is a joy to be around. Her favorite things are chasing rabbits and squirrels, catching tennis balls, and cheese. She is a wonderful family dog and loves attention from everyone. She makes friends with people and puppies every time she meets them! She is amazing with little kids and is aware of her size when she is with them. She is very smart and clearly understands what we are saying. She can even pick out specific toys. She has been easy to train and we are already working on having her off leash. Cannot recommend an Irish Doodle any more highly. And cannot imagine our family without our girl. Now we can't wait for her to have a playmate! Jon B
"I just wanted to share a couple photos of my Maggie. She is one of the 2 females born in Willow and Mac's February litter. She is extremely well behaved and smart. She is a joy and gets along with my Bella so well. She was 50 lbs at 7 months and has now been spayed. She loves water and will jump into the tub if I tell her it is bath time." Susan G
"He's doing so great and is the best dog of all time. Incredibly loving and such a fun happy demeanor. We couldn't love him any more than we do!"
"Just a quick note to say THANK YOU! Molly has been a perfect addition to our family. Phenomenal personality, smart as a whip, and truly a joy to be around. Could not be more happy with her...thank you so much!" Pete and Cheryl
We thought this was a good time to send you a couple of photos of Moses as he just turned ONE yesterday! We just cannot tell you what an absolutely WONDERFUL puppy he's been!! He has the most wonderful temperament and is a joy every single day! He doesn't EVER chew on anything that isn't one of his toys! We just can't believe it! We took him on walks almost every day since we adopted him and recently moved to a different house with a fenced-in yard! So he's having a blast! I'll send more pics another time, but we just wanted you to know how much we LOVE him! Everyone loves him!...and we get compliments on him ALL the time! NO ONE around here has an Irish Doodle, so he's pretty special! Just wanted to thank you so much for your love and care in breeding these beautiful creatures. We've often said we hope you're still breeding years from now when we want ANOTHER one! Thanks again and blessings to you and your family! We pray you're all well out there! David and Robin H.
"We just want you to know Motley is doing fabulously! We love her. She is a great dog and is a fabulous companion to our kids, us and to our old-timer Boston Terrier Rosco." Sarah L
"I wanted to send you an update on our amazing pups. We have Murphy (Maggie/Mac) who's 9 months and Maggie (Maggie/Rory) who's 3 months old. I flew from Kansas City 2 times to get them and boy was it worth it!!!!! They are the best dogs I've ever had for sure. Easy to train, great with my kids and just adorable. Murphy is a HUGE (60lbs already) goofball with great personality. Maggie is a small sweet gentle girl. They love each (and fight) some just like siblings! They walk or run 2 miles every night with me and we get stopped constantly with people saying how gorgeous and obedient they are. Wanting to know what kind of dogs they are and how they can get one...they actually sit when people stop us to let them pet them!! What hams!!! They are so perfect for our family I can't thank you enough. If I had more time and room, I'd get more!!!! Oh.....and absolutely NO SHEDDING!!!" The Winkley's from Kansas City
Olive is now 10 months and a whopping 68 lbs without an ounce of fat. I think she might be one of the biggest. My wife is 5' 8" and when her hind legs, Olive looks straight in her eyes. It's unbelievable. She is the most stubborn but lovable dog imaginable. Sometimes we think she's more cat than dog because of how aloof she can be. She knows exactly what we're saying and will eventually get around to it. But say the word "treat" and she's in your lap at the speed of light. Her energy level is staggering but is usually contained pretty well with regular walks. Despite her stubborn streak, she's been an incredibly well behaved dog. In 10 months, nothing, and I mean nothing, has been chewed on. Only her toys. Shoes, pillows, cords, plants, etc are all still where they've always been. Somehow she instinctively knows what's off limits. We're shocked to be honest. And when she's home alone, she no longer needs to be crated. Olive has been all we wanted and more. A great companion, watch dog, teddy bear and clown, all rolled into one. Kraig K.
"We absolutely love and adore him! Otis has a lot of energy, all the time. He loves being outdoors and has a very adventurous spirit. He has trained pretty well- sit, paw, lay came very easily. We're still working on "come" when we are outside. Otis' hair has become quite curly and still very red (he actually has a few random grey hairs on his back too). Otis is very friendly and wants to play with anyone or anything at all times. He is great with other dogs and children. He is a very loving dog. He still snuggles on our laps and loves to be with us. He has serious "FOMO" (fear of missing out) whenever we leave him - he'll bark at the window initially. He no longer needs to be crate trained, he's able to be in the house during the work day without getting into any mischief. He's tall, 50 pounds currently with long legs, and is very skinny-although he has a healthy appetite. We absolutely love him. He has a great temperament and personality." Mike P
"I'm not sure if you remember me, I know you sell a lot of puppies :) , but we have Ralph. He's almost 2 (February 26!) now! I know family dogs are important and I'm sure you'd like to know this to help other families get a wonderful dog, so I wanted to show you how amazing he is with our new baby!!! He absolutely loves the baby and immediately calmed down from his puppy phase once the baby was born. He's so patient, calm, loving, and gentle with the baby!! Hope this can help other families deciding on whether or not to get an Irish doodle!" Erin P
"Ripley is 9 months old and weighs 55 lbs. She gets along so well with our 5 year old Goldendoodle, Reuben. She is the only Irish Doodle at our vet and at her daycare. Everyone just loves her and wants to know what she is and we always tell them that she is an Irish Doodle, and we drove all the way to Winchester, VA to get her at Mckenzie's Doodles! She is the only Irish Doodle that we have seen in Nashville, TN. She is so smart, sweet and funny. We just love her." Heather & Ann
"Rory is our adventurous, loving, and playful Irish Doodle. Born in September 2013 to Megan and Mac, Rory has been the best dog we could have ever hoped for. Hands down. Rory is daring, fun, and full of energy when we are roaming the woods, fields, and streams on the weekends. At the same time he is a calm, gentle, and respectful dog at home in the city during the week. Moreover, Rory is great with other dogs and kids alike. Expressive and smart, Rory is truly one of a kind, and I don't think I've ever seen another dog receive so many compliments on the streets and at the dog park. Thanks, Sue!" K & C
"Rory is almost 17 weeks. He's about 26 pounds. He is a super sweetheart. He LOVES other dogs, people, and is pretty great with children...sometimes he just thinks they are a toy ;) He did really good with my 9 month old niece. Thanks again for letting me take Rory home with me. He's been such a joy :)" Sarah M.
"Ruby is everything we could've hoped for! She is 50 lbs right now and very tall. Her color is a gorgeous red, she is super soft and very curly. She is extremely lovable and does not like to be separated from us. She potty trained very quickly, by 12 weeks old she was fully trained with minimal accidents while training. We did puppy kindergarten and she learned basic commands easily. We have young children and she is very tolerable and not bothered by them at all. She is quite mouthy but in a playful way and we are currently working on that. She is a fabulous walking companion and is great with other dogs. She loves to play fetch and we are blown away by her speed. She is very excited when meeting new people and because of her size it can be overwhelming but she calms down pretty quickly. She has been groomed twice and both times I got rave reviews about how wonderful she was. People comment all the time at how pretty she is." Kelly R
Hello! We are in love with our Ruby, who is also from Bree and Rory's Spring litter. She is so sweet and smart and has brought endless joy to our family. She loves to stare out the window in our sunroom and run around the backyard. We can't imagine life without her! Susannah H.
"We picked Sammy up on 1/28/17 (Rory & Bailey). She was a small female from your 11/30/16 litter. We traveled 5 hours home with her with NO problems at all after picking her up. We immediately started on crate training and stuck with it from day one. We have 3 young children at home. Our daughter is 5 and we have twin boys who turned two in January. I'm not sure who loves who more. Sammy loves the kids and the kids love Sammy. Now that she is house trained she takes turns sleeping with the kids. You never know what bed she will be in each morning. She is the Absolute smartest dog I've ever seen and has a wonderful nature about her. Also, wherever we go she is the main topic of conversation. Everyone wants to know about her and where we got her. They love the color, the soft coat and the fact that she does not shed. We took her to a local Church a couple weeks back as they were having their annual Pet Blessing. A local news crew was there and she ending up on the local nightly news getting her blessing. Thanks for the Great addition to our family. We could not be happier with our puppy." Donnie S
Today is Scarlett's 1st birthday! She is our Irish Doodle from Margot & Toby's litter May 18, 2020! She was 'purple girl'. She is 36 pounds of fluff. She is such a sweetie pie but definitely has opinions of her own. She can be a very good listener but she can also talk back to us lol. She is SO social. She loves every person and dog she meets. She was SO easy to house-train, we haven't had one accident since she was 4 months old! We love her so much and are so grateful! Thank you for all that you do! Caroline & Collin S.
It's been a little over a year so I thought I'd share with you a picture of our wonderful pup, Shiloh! She's from Delaney and Rory's litter and she was originally puppy purple. Shiloh's smart as a whip, an awesome dog, a sweet and loving companion and our best friend!! Karen and David M
I just had to send some photos of our Sully! He is from Bree and Rory's litter, March 2018! He is the friendliest, most dramatic, sweetest and most empathetic dog I've ever had! Thank you so much for allowing him to be apart of our lives! We are currently getting ready for his 1st birthday party with all of Sully's friends (LOVES other dogs)! He is a GREAT walker (prances when he walks!) However, his favorite activity is chasing squirrels and rabbits in the backyard! Thank you again for the precious addition to our family! Heather H
"Toasty is doing so well. He is very much loved by everyone in our neighborhood. People always ask us, what type of dog Is he? And we get tons of compliments ALL the time and I mean ALL the time. People love his color and personality. We are in love with him, he is SO easy going, and honestly to be a 5 months puppy he is SO well behaved. I wanted to share a pic of him now that he is 40 pounds! He looks a lot like Rory!" Rosita P
"We might be biased, but we think he's really the perfect dog! He's super sweet and loving, but not overly attached, and if he needs his space, will plop his butt in his bed, while still staying in the same room as us. He's learning to fetch, and LOVES peanut butter and ice cubes. He also loves sleeping on our bathroom tile, as I think with his fluffy coat he tends to run a little warmer than us. I take him to the dog park whenever I can, and he gets along so well with the other dogs, although sometimes can get overwhelmed when there are too many, and will come running to mom until he works up the courage again to play. Thanks again for breeding such a wonderful and adorable dog. We get stopped all the time by people asking what kind of dog he is, and they ALWAYS comment how soft his coat is and ask us where we got him and we always tell them go to McKenzie's Doodles!!! He is still as soft as the day we picked him up, and doesn't shed one bit! Here are some pictures of our baby - isn't he adorable??" Jess H
This is Whiskey (Girl Teal) from Sadie and Rusty's litter! She just turned 6 months and we wanted to send an update. Whiskey is so playful, smart, loving, and beautiful! She is currently around 40 pounds and the vet thinks she still has some room to grow. We truly couldn't have asked for a better pup for our family. Thank you again for allowing us to be a part of the McKenzie's doodle family. Jared and Jessie G.
"First, let me say, our sweet pup (Winnie) is nothing short of perfection! We are so in love with her!! She was potty trained using the bell method less than two weeks after we brought her home. She also quickly learned sit, shake, lay down, stay, wait, and more. She loooooves kids so much. She's also a BIG fan of adults and other dogs. She goes to the dog park every evening and has never met a dog she isn't instantly friends with! We are hoping to be able to get her involved in some service work in the future. I think her kind eyes and loving demeanor would be perfect for it! Thank you for our perfect fur baby. She's also a big hit on Instagram @Winnie_the_Irishdoodle :-D" Summer R
I just wanted to reach out as today is the one year anniversary of us picking Winnie up at LAX! (Sadie and Rusty are her parents). I can't begin to tell you how much we are all so in love with Winnie, she is really the greatest thing that has happened to our family. I particularly can't imagine these past several months without the love and companionship that she brings to all of us. She is hilarious and goofy and smart. She loves people and her long walks through UCLA and went on her first road trip this summer to Idaho where we hiked and fished. David and Robin H.
This is Zeus! His parents are Bodie and Rory and he was born May 30, 2018. We cannot begin to express just how much of a joy Zeus is to have as part of our family. Z is the best snuggle buddy and is always making us laugh with his quirky and loving personality! We owe a lot of Z and have a hard time imaging what our lives were like "pre-Zeus." If you ever need a pick me up, check out his Instagram @thatdood_zeus Thank you so much McKenzie's Doodles! Kim and Jordan
"Just wanted to send you an update on Ziggy, who was in Maggie and Kuby's April 2014 litter - so he just turned 2. He is such a wonderful dog - I couldn't have asked for a better companion. He has endless energy for running/ hiking/ playing with his friends, but yet he has a completely calm demeanor. I often get stopped on the street by people asking what kind of dog he is or telling me how cute he is and then they are taken by his calmness and can't believe he is only two. He is the perfect dog for children to pet/interact with because he doesn't lick or jump, just sniffs them and gives them a little bump w/ his muzzle. He loves doing anything in the woods, and has just discovered chasing ducks in the water (to my dismay - as he doesn't always listen when on the chase). He is great with other dogs and people. He is not much of a cuddler - in fact the only person he cuddles with for extended periods is my nephew with special needs - it is amazingly sweet and wonderful for both of them. But yet he is extremely loyal and always wants to be near me. I really can't express in words how wonderful this animal is and the joy he has brought to me and my family!" Sara R
"Pumpkin was the pink string girl from the Darby/Rusty F1 Irish Doodle litter that was born July 3rd, 2022. She is now 7 months old and is a big floofy puppy, weighing in at 32 lbs. The vet said that means she’s on track to reach about 60 lbs when fully grown. Pumpkin is a very good girl and well loved. She loves her chew toys and has spared the furniture. She was potty trained and crate trained practically from day one! She loves being with her family and gets sweeter every day. She loves belly rubs and snuggles, long walks, playing fetch, and getting her teeth brushed before bed. She makes friends easily and is a favorite among both humans and dogs at our dogsitter’s house. Our groomer said she’d groom her any time. Our dog trainer said she is perfect. (She does not love car rides or getting her nails trimmed, poor thing, but is getting used to it!). My husband and I both grew up with dogs, but this is our first puppy under our care. We are learning the ropes, and Pumpkin has made it a joy. She has completed our family!” -The Opdykes (New Milford, CT)
“Charlie is absolutely wonderful. He loves to hang out with us and particularly enjoys car rides. He drops our son off at school every day during the school year. He also likes to watch me cook and see what snacks he can find on the kitchen countertop. He sits on the back of the couch and likes to be at eye level. He loves visiting family, especially Grandma. Charlie’s favorite thing to do is hike - be loves to hike with our son Jack (see pictures!). He also loves to track other animals when he’s on a hike… finds squirrels, bunnies, deer, and absolutely loves birds! Charlie has the best personality and is definitely a family man. He did attend kindergarten and was voted the “sit champion” 😊 He’s super smart and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have him in our family. He’s absolutely terrific!”
"We had an amazing experience and the dog we have is the best dog we’ve ever had! Max the Irish Doodle❤️"
"We had a wonderful experience and can’t imagine life without Piper. (Riley/Toby 2/28/20)"
"This is my Millie that I got from Mckenzie's this past year.I would 100% recommend and have recommended Sue and Jim and Mckenzie's Doodles to people looking for a pup ❤️"
"We had a fantastic experience working with Sue and Jim and McKenzie’s Doodles to get our boy Keeva. Their communication was fantastic and their love for their dogs is incredible. Keeva is such a loving goofball, the perfect addition to our family!"
“I recommend McKenzie Doodles and Sue and Jim as a first class breeder of doodles to anyone who seriously wants to add a puppy to their family. Sue’s response and willingness to evolve her business practices is the reason she is our breeder of choice. Our Irish Doodle Cassie (Meagan/Mac Spring 2014) and Golden Doodle Bailey (Teagan/Cooper Spring 2019) bring our family so much joy and where ever they go, people comment on their personalities and how sweet they are (and of course we couldn’t agree more). The wait list is worth it...McKenzie Doodles will continue to be our go to breeder when adding to our fur family!”
