About Us

Stella, our first Goldendoodle joined our family because our youngest daughter, Katie, is very allergic to animals. We were looking for a dog that would fit in with our family and be “allergy friendly”. Stella was everything we were looking for and more.
This picture shows, from left, Scarlett (Dan’s girlfriend), Dan, Katie, Ted, Betsy, Grace and Ales (Grace’s husband).
This is Ted with a few of Harper’s puppies. Ted and I have been married for 26 years. Ted keeps this crazy house running!


This is me (Betsy). Breeding is my passion! I love the dogs, I love their puppies and I love matching families with their perfect puppy. Nothing makes me happier than hearing how a puppy completed a family, or brought joy to someone who was lonely or sad. I believe that dogs can heal hearts.
This is our oldest daughter Grace with Harper and 2 of Harper’s puppies. Grace graduated from Michigan State University with a bachelors degree in Agriculture Education with minors in international agriculture and sustainability. Grace, her husband Alex and Harper will be living in Grayslake, Illinois.


This is our son Dan with Daisy and Norm. Dan is studying Clinical Laboratory Science at Northern Michigan University (NMU).
This is Katie, our youngest daughter. Katie is a Psychology Major at Grand Valley State University.

Testimonials
“Daisy Mae is from Mae’s first litter. She is the best addition to our family. She’s a pretty smart pup. She potty trained pretty fast. By day 3 of being home she learned to sit, down and leave it. If you research on how to pick a breeder, Platte Doodle’s nails it all. Betsy answered all my crazy questions and was super sweet. You can tells she breeds because she loves what she does. She puts everything into these pups. The program she does with these pups shows. Daisy is not afraid of thunder or loud noises. We get comments all the time how good of a pup she is. Daisy loves people and other dogs…maybe too much. I recommend Platte Doodles to everyone!”
“Meet Cigi, aka Heather from Mae’s first litter. From the time I reached out to Betsy about Mae’s upcoming, I felt very confident that this was where I was going to bring a pup home from. Betsy is very kind, empathetic, and professional when you go through the entire process. She posts videos of the puppy progress and keeps you informed of what they are doing. She posts suggestions of what you’ll need and recommendations for products. She raises these pups in her home with her family, so they are socialized and loved from the day they are born. I’ve had several pups over the years and I have to say, Cigi has by far, been the easiest and best as far as already being acclimated to a sound machine and loved on. Cigi doesn’t blink an eye when it thunders or lightnings and not even when fireworks go off. Call me lucky but I truly believe the experiences she had in her first 8 weeks of life with the Platte family attributed to that. Platte Doodles is a very reputable breeder and I highly recommend them. They definitely love all their babies.”
