Mini doodles · Franklin, Tennessee
Franklin House Doodles
Mini doodles raised at home with Blue and Nash. Our first litter arrives in November.
Franklin House Doodles is a small family program in Franklin, just south of Nashville, We raise a select few mini doodles in our living room, with our kids, and we stay in touch long after they go home. Our first litter is born in November and comes home in January.
Most breeders say goodbye at the door. We would rather say welcome.
Our first litter · Winter 2026
It started with Blue and Nash.
Blue is our blue merle mini Aussiedoodle: fourteen pounds, blue eyes, and the heart of our home. Nash is an apricot multigenerational Goldendoodle with a calm, easy way about him. Their puppies are raised in our living room and handled every day by our children.

Part of something bigger
Nashville Doodle Club, free for doodle families.
A puppy from us comes with more than a puppy. The day your puppy comes home, your family joins Nashville Doodle Club: a community of doodle families across Middle Tennessee who swap stories, answer each other's questions and know the good groomer. It's free, it's online now, and it's open to every doodle family, wherever your dog came from.
- Your dog's own page
- A profile in the club's Register, with photos, birthday and the story of how they came home.
- Your litter's room
- A private room for the families from your litter, so you can watch the littermates grow up together.
- The Lobby
- The first walk, the first snow, the first groom: photos and stories from member families.
- Ask the Club
- Training, grooming, food and the 2 a.m. worry, answered by people who have been there.
- The Library
- The vets, groomers, trainers and parks members trust across Middle Tennessee.
- Already have a doodle?
- You belong here too. Join free, add your dog, and pull up a chair.
Stay close to your litter
For our puppy families, from pick day on.
Every family gets a private page for their puppy. Each Sunday until homecoming we post a short write-up, photos and a video, and you get an email the moment it's up. After they go home, it's how you'll stay connected to Blue and your puppy's littermates, if you'd like to.
- Your puppy's page
- Their name, photos and every weekly update in one place.
- Sunday updates
- A write-up, photos and a short video each week, with an email when it's posted.
- Your litter
- Stay in touch with Blue and the littermates. Maybe a park day to see mom someday.
Updates are optional, and you can leave the family page anytime. Just say the word and we'll remove you.
Already have a doodle? We're also starting Nashville Doodle Club, a small, new community for doodle families around Nashville. We're new and still finding our way, and you're welcome to join us.

Questions
How big will they get?
Mom is 14 lb and dad is 13 lb, so we expect adults of roughly 12 to 18 lb. Every dog is a little different.
Are they hypoallergenic?
No dog is truly hypoallergenic. With strong Poodle genetics and furnishings from both sides, we expect low-shedding coats, but we can't guarantee allergy outcomes.
What grooming do they need?
Brushing two to three times a week, and a professional groom every six to eight weeks. We'll help you start a routine early.
Can we visit?
Yes. Reserved families are welcome from about five weeks. We keep visits short and clean to protect the puppies.
Is the deposit refundable?
The $300 deposit counts toward your puppy's price, and it isn't refunded if you change your mind. There are two exceptions. If no puppy matches what you asked for when your turn comes, you choose: a full refund, or move your deposit to a future litter. And if we decide not to go ahead, we refund it in full.
What if life changes?
Call us first, always. We'll take the dog back or help find the right home. It's part of our contract.
What's the difference between joining the Club and the waitlist?
Joining the Club is free and open to any doodle family, wherever your dog came from. You join online at the Clubhouse and you're in right away. The waitlist is only for families who want one of our puppies: it's the application below, and every puppy family is welcomed into the Club on homecoming day. Already a member and want a puppy? Apply as well.
