Hi, my name is Sheena and I'm a Missouri, mama of two. Our journey started 6 years ago with the purchase of our first Goldendoodle, he stole my heart and reminded me of my roots. I have fourteen years of breeding and training experience and the presence of his blessing landed me right back to breeding. 

At Pincksten Family Doodles, we believe that every life is a gift from God, we are committed to raising our Bernedoodles and Goldendoodles with love, integrity and faith. As a faith based breeder, we strive to honor God in all that we do-providing healthy, well-socialized puppies that bring joy and companionship to families. 

We see our role as stewards of God's creation, ensuring that each puppy is placed into loving homes where they can thrive. If you're looking for a faithful companion and a breeder who values honesty, integrity and the love of christ...we're glad you're here!

The Face behind the name

Sheena 

Our babies are raised right here in our shared Barndominium. We believe that all dogs and puppies should be treated as rightful members of a family and we continue treating them just the same, in a kennel-free, loving home. 

Our puppies are raised with a clear purpose here. We prioritize health, temperament and breed to a standard. Ethical breeding means carefully selecting parent dogs based on genetic health, structure, and behavior to improve the breed and produce well-rounded, healthy puppies. Our litters are raised in an enriched environment with proper socialization that sets them up for their new families! 

As a responsible breeder, we provide ongoing support that extends beyond the eight weeks they're with us. We provide guidance, and a safety net for every dog and puppy that we produce. Breeding with intent means prioritizing the well-being of our dog, protecting the integrity of the breed and the families that welcome these babies into their lives.
