About Christian Doodles

Christian Doodles is a small, home-based dog breeding operation in Camrose County, Alberta, Canada, owned by Karen Christian. The business's Better Business Bureau profile lists a start date of September 1, 2004, and the breeder's own site frames the operation as family-run and faith-based ("a dog breeder and occasional dog rescue organization," per its BBB listing).

The breeder specializes in three doodle-type crosses: Cockapoos, Schnoodles (schnauzer x poodle), and Whoodles (wheaten terrier x poodle). Puppies are advertised as vaccinated, vet-checked, and genetically tested before sale, with a one-year health guarantee against genetic defects. Puppies go home at 9–10 weeks old.

Christian Doodles does not allow prospective buyers to visit the property in person; the site describes FaceTime consultations by appointment instead, with in-person contact limited to the puppy's first vet check or pickup. Out-of-area buyers can arrange delivery by professional courier or by air via WestJet Cargo, according to the company's own site.

Is Christian Doodles Legitimate?

Christian Doodles carries an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, though it is not BBB-accredited. As of this review, the BBB profile (open since September 29, 2014) shows zero filed complaints and zero customer reviews — the BBB's own complaint and review tabs both display an empty "be the first" state rather than any listed cases.

No lawsuits or regulatory enforcement actions against this business were found in a public-record search. Alberta does not maintain a province-wide breeder-licensing registry comparable to a professional license lookup; dog breeding there is governed by municipal animal-control bylaws (Camrose County has its own kennel/dog bylaws), which are not centrally searchable online, so a specific kennel license could not be independently confirmed.

Beyond the BBB, ComplaintsBoard.com hosts 17 independent customer reviews of this exact business (phone number and details match) averaging 4.3 out of 5 -- 14 five-star and 3 one-star. The positive reviews are detailed and specific about good communication, healthy puppies, and door-to-door delivery. The three negative reviews describe a consistent, specific risk pattern: one buyer says the breeder refused to provide genetic/health-testing documentation before purchase, accused them of being a rival breeder attempting to steal bloodlines, and cancelled a nearly-completed sale after the buyer asked a routine health question about a parent dog; a second describes poor responsiveness, a policy against in-person farm visits, and a meetup rescheduled without notice; a third describes a dog that developed severe, unmanageable behavioral problems and was euthanized at age three, alongside a purchase experience with no health testing shown and no post-sale support. These are individual, unverified customer accounts, not adjudicated findings, but their specificity and volume mean this is not simply a "thin record" -- buyers should ask the breeder directly for the genetic health-testing paperwork the site references (OFA, Embark, or similar), in writing, before sending a deposit, and should not assume a farm visit is offered.
