Derbyshire Doodles UK WALA
Welcome to Derbyshire Doodles UK WALA
We are a small, family‑based breeding program in the heart of the Peak District. With six children in our home, our Australian Labradoodles are raised as part of the family, surrounded by love, learning, and everyday life. What started as a passion for dogs and teaching our children about animal care has grown into a program focused on raising happy, healthy, well-socialised puppies.
Families reserve puppies by placing a deposit after completing our puppy application form. We work hard to match each family with the puppy best suited to them. Most of our puppies are early spayed/neutered, microchipped, and leave us with a comprehensive care guide. Occasionally, we keep exceptional puppies within our program to continue improving our lines.
Why Choose Us?
At Derbyshire Doodles UK WALA, we only produce a small number of litters, which means each puppy gets our full attention, love, and care. Our focus is on health, temperament, and early training so that our puppies are ready to become beloved members of your family.
Testimonials
EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a fabulous experience it’s been purchasing our new puppy from Derbyshire Doodles . Rachel’s passion, knowledge, experience and pure love of dog breeding is second to none . The process from receiving the scan picture and all the puppies updates on videos really make you feel involved in the puppies start in life. The hours and hours of training and early neurological stimulation that Rachel gives to all her puppies, pays massive dividends. We can tell a real difference in Lotties resilience and confidence for new experiences in comparison to our previous Labradoodle, Lola. We cannot recommend Derbyshire Doodles highly enough 🐾🐾🐾Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When we started our search for the perfect puppy for our family it felt really daunting. We had heard about how great labradoodles are with children especially those who are sensitive and have sensory challenges. Once we decided this was the breed for us we started looking at Breeders to connect with. From the minute we found Derbyshire doodles we knew were in safe hands. The website with all the information Rachel provides helped us to confirm we had picked the right breed. From there we made contact with Rachel and we felt straight away how seriously she takes the role of bringing these beautiful puppies into the world. Again this gave us confidence that we were working with someone who cares deeply about her puppies and the families that they are going to be their forever homes. We asked Rachel lots of questions and in turn she helped us understand the responsibility we were taking on and how we could get ourselves as a family ready. The advice Rachel gives prior to puppy coming home on training was so so helpful to get us ready to know what to do when we brought home our puppy and where to start with training. The training both Rachels do with the puppies is wonderful and has really helped Buddies transition into the family. The potty and crate training skills he has are so good and we have been able to follow the approach set up by Rachel at our home. Temperament was so important to us and the temperament testing Rachel does gave us so much confidence that she would match us with the right puppy.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

If you are looking for an exceptional breeder - you need look no further than Derbyshire Doodles. From the very initial contact Rachel was supportive and informative- helping us make the decision whether an Australian labradoodle was the right breed of dog for us. Particularly since one of our requirements was that we needed a breed who would be okay with cats. The initial information sent by Rachel provided insight into the extensive programme she undertakes with puppies, which includes early neurological stimulation, and socialisation- which showed Rachel’s commitment, passion and experience as a breeder. We also loved Rachel’s ethical approach to breeding. When the puppies arrived we were kept up to date with WhatsApp messages and we really liked the instagram live videos. Rachel has helped us every step of the way to help us as a family prepare for the arrival our pup, which included a puppy pack with training and socialisation plans, information about nutrition and much much more. Thanks to Rachel’s training- our pup is crate trained and toilet trained when she arrived. We have only had our pup for 2 and a half weeks. She’s completed our family, filled our home with fun, laughter and love.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Having sadly lost my Labrador and cocker in a short while I vowed at my age not to get another dog !!! Then …. I met a mini Australian labradoodle. What gorgeous dogs they are !! The hunt was on to find the best breeder I could . Having spent days researching the breed and realising that they are often bred as therapy and assistance dogs ( exactly what I require) I sent an email to Rachel at Derbyshire doodles explaining our requirements . I received a speedy reply explaining all about her breeding program which I may say is exceptional . Her commitment to the care welfare , training and future support is amazing . Iv been a dog owner for 66 years and I’ve never come across a breeder as good as this . My husband and I are now the proud owners of the most delightful puppy who is crate trained , almost house trained as long as we read her signs lol and the most loving and entertaining little girl . She is intelligent , inquisitive and easy to train and is still only 15 weeks old . I would thoroughly recommend Derbyshire doodlesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful service off Rachel from before the puppies were even born. Once they had arrived I was kept up to date at ever stage with videos and photographs. Even after we brought Maggie home Rachel was on hand offering helpful advice and tips. Maggie was bought as a trainee therapy dog for a mainstream secondary school and she came to school with me at 10 weeks old. Maggie was so calm and confident because of all the work Rachel and her family had done to socialise her and she is now a integral part of the school. Thank you RachelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fantastic experience buying a puppy from Rachel. We felt really included in the whole process. We were given lots of updates about the puppies from the WhatsApp group (which we are still a part of now) and we were given regular advice and information about how to look after our new addition. Rachel always gives detailed and helpful replies to any queries we have and she has a lot of knowledge about the breed. Everything she does is done with a lot of care and consideration and we feel really lucky to have found her as a breeder. Millie came home ready to adapt straight into our busy household as at 8 weeks she had already experienced so many things. She doesn't seem fazed by anything and crate and toilet training has been a breeze. I highly recommend a puppy from Rachel.
