Update: The initial high cost and stress of the first few months with a puppy are now a distant memory, the love and joy we get from our dog however is a lasting blessing. As he grows and matures (will be 2 in one month) we can truly see the work Jerry and Linda put into him those first 8 weeks. Rolo is the best dog we’ve ever had, he’s highly intelligent, intuitive and responsive. He may have enough energy to power the sun, but so does our son, perfect match. It’s been several years since I’ve had a bond like this with a dog, he truly is special. I can say without a doubt I would do it all over again, thank you deer pines!
Jerry and Linda are very informative and easy to communicate with. Great experience, love our pup!

Awesome breeders, they do alot with and for the puppies, including healthy food, constant attention, interactive toys, introducing sounds, and crate training, plus so much more! We got daily updates, with pictures, videos, and useful facts and information! We’ve never had such a great experience with a breeder before. I highly recommend Deer Pines Labradoodles!

We just picked up our little fur baby and we can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience with Jerry and Linda at Deer Pines Labradoodles! They are quick to respond with any questions, send a ton of photos and videos daily of the pups so that you feel you are really part of the experience, and share a lot of great resources to make sure we are set up for success. This is nothing like a puppy mill experience…it’s the real deal. Our little guy is doing great in the short time we’ve had him home and is already stealing our hearts! They’ve already checked in to see how everything is going, too!

We used Deer Pine Labradoodles to get our second dog as adults.
From the very beginning of the process, they so gracious in answering our questions and being accommodating. It’s apparent that this isn’t just a business, but a passion where they care about the dogs, want to makes sure they’re healthy and want to ensure that the families are set up for success.
We really appreciated all the education that we were provided and that they truly want to set us up with a healthy well behaved dog.
Highly recommend them, and couldn’t express enough that the cost difference of a high quality breeder that invests in the health of their dogs is worth it over a backyard breeder that may be cheaper on the surface. We love our dog and are very thankful for deer pines.

We had an incredible experience working with Jerry and Linda for our first time adopting from a breeder. From the very beginning, their care and dedication to the puppies was clear. They went above and beyond to make sure we felt informed and comfortable throughout the entire process. Their communication was constant and thoughtful, and we could tell how much love and attention they gave to every pup in their care. We’re so thankful for the amazing start our puppy had with them—Jerry and Linda truly exceeded our expectations in every way!

WONDERFUL WONDERFUL WONDERFUL experience! The love and care that Jerry and Linda pour into these puppies is exceptional! This is our first time using any kind of breeder and I feel this experience cannot be topped by anyone else! From daily pictures, daily updates, daily videos, tips, information, and support, our puppy was cared for by them so wonderfully from the day she was born to the day she would go home! Knowing you have support from them through this whole process and even after the pup goes home is such a relief and amazing feeling when getting your first puppy. The love they showed the puppies was so comforting seeing them be raised by such caring people and treating them as if they were their own! So happy we stumbled upon them online and took this journey with them!

Linda and Jerry are PHENOMENAL. We have nothing but good things to say about this breeder. From the puppy being born to adoption day, they have been there to help guide us and set us and the puppy up for success. They are extremely knowledgeable about the breed and are always there to answer questions. We received daily updates on the litter for 8 weeks which made us feel involved even before having the physical puppy. They are extremely caring and put a lot of time and hard work into the puppies and their jobs. It blows my mind how detailed they are with everything, from their website to the desensitization practices started in the puppies first days of life. The puppies receive so much love and attention since day 1 and it definitely shows when they come home. We are so happy we adopted our first dog from Deer Pines Laboradoodles!! Highly recommend this breeder.
Below is Hattie, adopted 10/2024. We are so in love with her!!

We can’t say enough about Deer Pines Labradoodles and Jerry and Linda. They have a program in place where their puppies are raised in a great environment.
They send out videos daily explaining their technique and show the pups’ progress as they work and prepare them for a successful transition to their new families forever home.
From neurological stimulation, sound desensitization, potty training, play and nap time schedules they do so much with the pups. Our little girl Eve is such a wonderful addition to our family, she loves our other 4-year-old doodle, our grandkids and is so playful and sociable. Jerry and Linda stay in touch with the family group asking for progress and answering any questions we may have. Doodles are great dogs and when you have one raised by Deer Pines you will be very happy.
Thanks, Mark and Stacy

Linda and Jerry were great to work with and we picked up a very happy and healthy puppy. Jerry's communication throughout the process, which started months before birth, was fantastic. They clearly care about what they're doing and not at all interested in being a puppy farm.

We cannot be thankful enough for Linda and Jerry! This will be our first pup who is coming from Deer Pines, in addition to our extended family who have a second and a partnership with a third through their breeding program. They are extremely knowledgable of the process of raising a pup from birth through their time at home with you. We received multiple daily updates of our pup and how he was doing through his eight weeks of life at Deer Pines. He went home with amazing resources and recommendations for food, training, enrichment activities, medical care, supplements, etc! We feel so blessed to have been through this process with them and I have a feeling this is only the beginning of our time with Deer Pines and we will have many more labradoodles to come! 🐾❤️

We got out puppy Archie in April after losing our sweet boy after 16 years. We were first time puppy owners since we had adopted our first pup as an adult. Linda and Jerry helped us through every step. Always available by phone and responsive before we picked him up and even months after taking him home. They truly care about their pups and the families they go to. Archie has been a healthy and happy pup from the start and we are grateful for all the great care and enrichment they gave him. We especially enjoyed following his growth with daily photos and videos. We loved him before we even met him. We highly recommend Deer Pines Labradoodle! 💗

After lots of careful research on Australian labradoodle breeders in the Midwest I selected DeerPine Labradoodle because of Jerry and Linda. I talked with Jerry and Linda for 10 months prior to picking up my new family member. They are so well educated on puppy behaviors and did early neurological stimulation and sound desensitization - which has already come in handy with my puppy living in Chicago. They were always happy to answer all of my questions but because they were so forthcoming with information about their process and how to best maintain the puppy’s schedule once in their new home I didn’t need to ask them much! I would definitely recommend Deerpine Labradoodles for any person or family looking for the perfect addition

We absolutely love our Australian Labradoodle Izzy. The experience with Deer Pines was incredible. Jerry and Linda are truly passionate about giving their clients great experience. They educated us, kept us very up to date after the puppies were born, and truly set us up for success with a well adapted, smart, crate trained puppy. Since coming home to us Izzy has had zero accidents in her crate and sleeps overnight… a blessing for a puppy owner!
