My first posts appeared in February, and I am still learning how to use WordPress and accidentally deleted them….so I am starting again!. Unfortunately, ‘fixing’ problems also seems to be a running theme in my life along with Doodle breeding:)
February 4, 2004
My name is Helene and I started Westwood Labradoodles, Goldendoodles, and North American Retrievers in 2003. I have been breeding Labradoodles for almost 6 years, Goldendoodles for about 4 years, and recently added Double Doodles (North American Retrievers) to our ‘menu’.
To coin a phrase, ‘Breeding is the toughest job you’ll ever love’. The scenarios can range from extreme highs to exteme lows, and literally involve life and death.
I have 6 years of experiences to draw upon, and I wrote an article about some of my experiences here:

I hope to use this blog to record experiences on a more regular basis, as something happens every day.
In addition to the experiences that directly involve my dogs, I also am involved, for better or for worse, in the world of doodle breeders. I have said for years that the doodle breeder world would be prime fodder for a soap opera or screenplay. There are more personalities and politics than you can wag a tail at! I hope to shine some light on the dark and interesting corners of that world as well.
So, welcome to my world, and please let me know if there is anything you ever ever want to know about Labradoodles, Goldendoodles, or the folks that bring them to you!
