Harley is our handsome medium size stud dog of excellent conformation, he is absolutely sound, has correct dentition and the most super laid back temperament, being clever and quick to learn. He adores people, especially our grandchildren.He is a real character and always has us laughing

He is the perfect stud dog, being very gentle with his girls.
We cannot wait for his first litters to arrive,the first being due the end of Oct and the next the end of Nov.
His hipscore total is 10 and he holds a clear eye certificate.

He is available at stud so please do not hesitate to contact us for any information.

Here is Harley with daughter Aiva from his first litter.
She is the apple of his eye and can wrap him around her little paw,typical of Dad,s and daughters.
Harley has produced more quality puppies like Aiva and all have wonderful extrovert temperaments.
Their new owners are delighted with them and the way they are responding to training.

Libby and Charles are my pride and joy.They are from my second litter of whippets and in their first 6 months in the showring they have certainly exceeded all my expectations.They finished the year by winning Best Dog Puppy in Breed and Best Bitch Puppy in Breed at Weston-Super-Mare Open Show on Dec 30th 07.This being their last puppy classes,so along with their many other wins during the year it was a wonderful way to end their puppy career.Qualifying for Crufts on their first outing at Paignton Championship show was absolutely amazing,but its not just the showing and the winning as they mean far more than that,I just love them for their great personality and devotion.
Thank you to everyone for their congratulations,lovely comments and encouragement.Especially the judges who have thought so highly of them.
Charles is now proven and available at stud.
They have made a great start to 2008 as at Plymouth Open show Charles won Novice whippet and at Ilfracombe Open show,Libby won whippet Junior bitch and Charles graduate dog and Best of Breed.Thank you to the judge Mr.A.Swannell.
Libby,Charles and Clarice have continued their winning throughout 2008 and into 2009 and at Manchester Champ Show 2009 both Libby and Charles gained their stud book numbers so they are now qualified for Cruft,s for life.Clarice also qualified.
2009 is bringing a lot of changes here at Doddridge so I will not be able to attend many shows.I will be moving house approx June and due to the work required will be very busy at our new home

SOME BACKGROUND

I have been breeding dogs for 40yrs and began in the seventies under my old affix of “Marcrest”

I started when I was 12yrs old with a neighbour’s German Shepherd. Having been given a German Shepherd puppy for my birthday I was hooked!!

I bred my first litter when I was 16 and had my first judging appointment when I was 19. I decided I wanted another breed as well as the Shepherds, so in 1974, acquired my first American Cocker bitch.

I went on to show and breed American’s for many years. I then decided to have a complete change and bought my first Golden Retriever. By this time I had retired from the show scene to bring up my family but still had an interest in breeding.

Under my Doddridge affix I now own 6 Golden Retrievers and 6 whippets and occasionally have puppies for sale - but only to the best, loving homes.

When planning a litter, my main priorities are health and temperament. All my dogs are family dogs first and foremost, the goldies bred from good hip scores and we pride ourselves on all our dogs hipscores being under 10 and clear eye certificates for generations, and, they have the most wonderful temperaments.
Our whippets are beautiful with the most loving temperaments and superb quality that can win in any company at any level but are family dog first of course.

Thank you for looking at my pages. If you need any further information, please get in touch.
