Our Team
Candice’s love of animals began when she was a child in Northern BC. After she and Bill were married they raised and showed Rough Collies for a number of years. After hearing about and being intrigued by Goldendoodles they got Peaches, a female mini Goldendoodle and Fez, a miniature male poodle.
They had their 1st litter of Goldendoodles in the summer of 2007 and Ooodles of Doodles was born. They then began slowly growing and in 2014 Candice decided to devote all her energy to raising quality Goldendoodles.
Candice has always been a trendsetter, recognizing what appeals to people seeking a quality puppy and has successfully been able to obtain top quality breeding stock. She no longer needs to seek out female breeding dogs as she keeps back ones that she has raised as replacements and has an eye for what puppies have the characteristics she likes.
She has developed a successful Guardian Home program which ensures all her breeding dogs are pets first and have their own families to care for them and they are all retired at a young age.
Candice has brought happiness to many families with puppies she has raised and she has had lots of repeat customers. Her passion for raising top quality dogs and compassion for people has made her one of the top Doodle breeders and her puppies are in homes across Canada and the US.
Jennifer is a Member of our nursery team. She works closely with our dogs and puppies and is also our Guardian home Liason, keeping in touch with our guardian families and making sure the program is running smoothly. She definitely has a lot of experience working with all types of animals. As a child she spent her summers helping out with trail rides in the Rocky Mountains with her Mom. She grew up on a farm raising various animals including hedgehogs, rabbits, chickens, dogs, pigs, goats and horses. She has 2 cats, Ollie and Millie and is also a guardian to the amazingly sweet Dahlia. She has always had an interest in animals and their well-being.
Katya is one of our Nursery Specialists. She has always been a lover of animals and over the years has had a variety of small pets. Rabbits, a hedgehog, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs and dogs (finally) have been a part of her life. Like a lot of kids, Katya had dreams of being a veterinarian. While not reaching that level She did go to school for Veterinary Technical Assistant. She spent 2 years working at the animal emergency hospital, which gave her an amazing experience and new knowledge in the animal medical field. Kat is currently a fur mom to two cats, Rogue and Marla and two dogs, Iroh and Korra, who is part of the guardian program.
Sophie has been a part time employee at Ooodles for 2 years. She is currently going into grade 11. She enjoys traveling and being outdoors and loves to spend time at lakes and beaches. She enjoys playing basketball and doing track and field. Her family has 2 of our guardian dogs, Lizzy (retired) and Winnie. She also has a cat named Dixie who is great friends with her doodles. In her 2 years of working at Ooodles, Sophie has learned so much about dogs, and has grown an even greater love for animals.
Ginette has been working with Ooodles of Doodles since 2009. She’s been the gal behind the website and recently her responsibilities have expanded to include some day-to-day administrative tasks.
Ginette lives in Edmonton, Alberta with her husband, Evan. They have just recently became first time grandparents to a sweet little boy.
