Meet Mountain Creek Labradoodles

We are Tom and Robyn, of Mountain Creek Labradoodles. We often joke that our son started Mountain Creek Labradoodles. We had always been dog lovers. In fact, Robyn had raised many Labradors growing up. However when our son was born, he had severe allergies and mild asthma. We knew that we needed a dog that didn’t shed, and was more agreeable with someone that had allergies.

At the same time, we didn’t want to sacrifice personality. We wanted a family pet and companion that would be good with children and friendly with our friends and neighbors. We wanted a dog that we could play fetch with, take walks with, and snuggle with at the end of the day.

When we found the Labradoodle, we fell in love. We knew instantly that it was the breed for us. After raising our first Labradoodle and having her as part of our family for a while, we knew that we had been called to do more than just have a Labradoodle as a pet. Our first Labradoodle had such a large impact on our life, allowing us to have a family pet that we could roll around on the floor with, snuggle with, and even allow on the couch without having to worry about adverse reactions from our son.

Shortly after we added our Labradoodle to our family she easily became off leash trained, which was amazing. We could trust her implicitly to follow our direction.

A couple of years later she became a registered therapy dog.  There was no question in our minds that the Labradoodle was permanently tattooed on our hearts. Taking the next step was a seamless process. Robyn was able to put her nursing skills to work within our program. 

Additionally Tom’s web design skills were put to work to create our informative, easy to navigate website. His job also enabled him to work from home, which allowed him to be hands on with our program.  The dream of founding Mountain Creek Labradoodles was well on the way to being realized.

Here at Mountain Creek, our dogs and puppies are part of our family. Raising Labradoodles and placing them with loving, caring forever families is such a privilege. We are committed to raising superb Labradoodle puppies. That begins with a well thought out plan for our program, to ensure that even the smallest detail is considered.

Mountain Creek is situated on 5 acres, outside of Greenville, Sc. Our town is very small and anywhere we want to go is about 20 minutes in all directions. However, that is the vision we had for Mountain Creek Labradoodles. A quiet, sleepy town with room for us to spread out and devote lots of time to the wonderful parents in our breeding program as well as our precious puppies.

We have about an acre of fenced in yard for our doodles to run around and play. Playtime includes fetch of course, although many times it ends up being keep away from the other dogs. Our doodles also love trying to be a part of the yard games we often play, like corn hole and bocce ball.

Most evenings include a campfire while star gazing, although whether the doodles understand what Perseus and the Big Dipper are, is questionable. Most of our dogs are off leash trained, so they get supervised access to the rest of the property as well.  They can hang around with us while we garden, work in the garage, and most importantly, participate in visiting our chickens, for the daily feeding and egg collecting.

At Mountain Creek, we have breeding dogs that live with us full time as well as breeding dogs that live in Guardian homes. Doodles that live in Guardian homes are pick of the litter puppies chosen by us for our program. Then they are placed with a loving family where they will be doted on and adored.

Guardian home dogs are extra lucky because they get two caring families, us and the Guardian home. This route has worked out well for us because it allows us to avoid re-homing our dogs once they retire and switching them from their long time home to a new home. Guardian home dogs have usually been with their Guardian home since puppyhood and will retire to the same family. 

We have the most wonderful Guardian families for our dogs, which we are so thankful for.  Knowing each one of our breeding dogs, whether they live here or in a Guardian home, are beloved family pets lets us know we are doing it right.

Just as our breeding dogs are part of the family, so are our puppies. We have a tried and true method when it comes to raising our puppies. Our goal is to provide the best possible environment for them to grow up.  This starts with the puppies being delivered in our home. We have a room right off of our living room where we set up a comfy, sanitary whelping area for our expectant mom. This way we can keep a close eye as the delivery time approaches. We are hands on during the delivery and help mom deliver the puppies, cut and clean the umbilical cord, weigh each baby and assign them a ribbon color so we can keep track of their growth.

After the delivery is complete, mom and babies are moved to the nursery that is right off our bedroom so mom can have more room and take breaks as needed.  It also allows us to keep everyone close by so we can keep them under supervision. We can hear them and check on them easily throughout the night.

Most importantly it keeps our puppies away from the high traffic areas of our home while they are young so they don’t encounter potentially dangerous germs. Our puppy nursery is only accessed by our immediate family, so you can rest assured that your young puppy’s health is our top priority.

Our nursery is big enough for several litters at a time to have plenty of space as well as some privacy for the moms.  Our puppies are handled right from birth. Though their ears and eyes are closed for the first 2 weeks, they get to know us well by our scent and touch. We are sure to pay extra attention to their ears and paws. This comes in handy later on when their forever family wants to clean their ears or trim their nails.

Since the puppies are in our home, as soon as their ears and eyes open they are ensconced in family life and all the sights and sounds that go along with it. They will not be shy around the TV, vacuum, the doorbell or other sounds of a home, that’s for sure!

Once our puppies are older and playing like real puppies, which is around 5 weeks of age, we introduce them to our older puppy play area. We were blessed recently to be able to add a 20’ x 22’ building five feet from our home, to serve as a larger puppy play area and a place to start them on beginner potty training. We have 420 square feet of space devoted to our puppies that are 5 weeks and older.

The “puppy playhouse” is insulated just like our home as well as heated and cooled. In our “puppy playhouse” we have a 10 x 10 area set up for each litter. This area has toys and things to play with. It also has an area with cedar bedding to initiate the process of potty training. The puppies instinctively begin to use this area to potty, while keeping the play area clean.

Once they are 7 weeks of age we also begin outdoor potty training to ease the transition once the puppies are in their forever homes.  Our “puppy playhouse” has a photo shoot area, which is where many of the weekly pictures will be taken once the puppies are 5 weeks of age. We also have a living area set up with a TV and desk area so that we can work and simply hang out with the puppies, while still allowing them to have the set up that is most conducive to their progress as a puppy. This is one of our kids’ favorite hangout spots, as they can do “homework” or take a break after school and watch a show, all while getting lots of puppy cuddles!

Our “puppy playhouse” is also only accessed by our immediate family to keep it super sanitary, and reduce the puppies being exposed to germs. We also utilize our “puppy playhouse” on pick up days when we have more than one litter of puppies (5 weeks and older). Our kids are all too happy to spend time with the puppies in the “puppy playhouse” on pick up days, although we do usually contribute a movie rental and popcorn to entice them!

This ensures that the puppies that aren’t going home yet, won’t have exposure to any germs/bacteria. This keeps them in optimal health and ready for their own pick up day! With our older puppies, we also employ our trusty, portable, puppy exercise pen to bring the puppies into the kitchen or living area of our home when we are hanging out inside, so they continue to be in the hub of the home with us.

In addition to our “puppy playhouse, we do have a smaller outdoor area in our acre fenced in yard for them. This space is 15’ x 50’ and can be separated in to different areas, if we have more than one litter. This allows the puppies to have outdoor playtime, weather permitting, and run around, play with each other and learn to play fetch. 

We have some little tyke toys for them to climb on, under and around as well as tunnels for them to run through or hide in. One of the puppy’s favorite things to do is hide and jump out at the other puppies! Outdoor playtime is under supervision only and is part of our puppy socialization.

Our families will reap the benefits of their puppy having a great head start in life, and being a part of our well thought out puppy raising program. Our breeding dogs and puppies are always at the forefront here at Mountain Creek. We feel truly blessed to have a successful breeding program and love all the different facets of it. Whether it’s playing with our breeding dogs, taking them for hikes, or swims, delivering sweet, tiny babies, or meeting our puppy families for the first time, we enjoy it all.  We would love to provide your family with one of our amazing Labradoodles.
