If you’re looking for a mini Labradoodle ONLY, see our sister site miniLabradoodlePuppies.com.
If you choose to feed your puppy either Health Extension or TLC for a full three years, we will extend our excellent 1-Year Health Guarantee to an outstanding 3 years.
NOTE: Before purchasing food for your puppy, confirm which food they are currently eating. Switching foods abruptly can upset your puppy’s tummy.
Ensuring your dog consumes high-quality food is crucial for their overall health and growth. Quality nutrition enhances digestive health, promotes a shiny coat and healthy skin, fortifies the immune system, supports joint health, boosts cognitive functions, and maintains heart health. Health Extension offers a range of flavors, formulations, and sizes to suit your puppy’s tastes.

If you’re interested in getting on our Labradoodle waiting list for our next litter of mini Labradoodles, medium Labradoodles, or standard Labradoodles, please apply here. If you have any questions about our process, feel free to email us at nathan@crockettdoodles.com.
At ChocolateLabradoodlePuppies.com our name says it all. We specialize in home-raised, F1b Chocolate Labradoodles and Chocolate Mini Labradoodles of quality disposition, with quality coats and genetic traits.
A person who wants a blonde, cream, or white doodle (or miniature doodle), may opt for a Goldendoodle (see bestGoldendoodles.com) rather than a Labradoodle. Chocolate Labradoodles seem warm and inviting.
I’m Dr. Nathan Crockett and my wife is Abigail Crockett. We are not full-time dog breeders. I am a theology professor at Bob Jones University (a non-denominational private, liberal arts Christian university in Greenville, SC). My wife, Abigail is primarily a stay-at-home mom for our 5 young children, but she is also an events coordinator.
Both our chocolate Labradoodle and our Poodle are beautiful dogs with excellent temperaments. They are our family pets. Because we begin with a Labradoodle and a Poodle, rather than a Lab and a Poodle, our puppies are much more likely to have the non-shedding Poodle coat. In the dog world, they’re called F1b Labradoodles (as opposed to F1 Labradoodles, which are 50% Poodle & 50% Lab). A F1b Labradoodle has been back-crossed to a poodle in an effort to insure a non-shedding coat. Even though most f1b Labradoodles shed very little or not all, it is impossible to guarantee that any dog (even doodles or purebred poodles) will not shed at all. It’s appropriate to call F1b Labradoodles hypoallergenic since they are “less likely” to cause allergies than most breeds. Hypo- means less (hypothermia is having a lower than normal body temperature). No dog can be said to be completely non-allergenic. Studies have shown that doodles are less likely to cause allergies, particularly f1b doodles.
Our Labradoodle methodology is quite simple. First, we get quality dogs. This is why we wanted to have pick of the litter for our Labradoodle and our Poodle and why we only obtained puppies from reputable breeders that we knew we could trust.
Second, we try to treat our dogs (Labradoodle and Poodle) well. We feed our Labradoodle and Poodle high quality food with plenty of protein, and give them wonderful socialization and opportunities for exercise.
We have 12 acres along the Enoree River with trails, additional property next to a Greenville state park, and property on Lake Hartwell giving us the opportunity to take the dogs kayaking. We recognize the importance of socializing young Labradoodle puppies so they will not be fearful as they mature.
Third, we try to find appropriate families for our Chocolate Labradoodle puppies. We do not put prospective Labradoodle puppy buyers through background checks or have them fill out mounds of paperwork to adopt a Labradoodle or mini Labradoodle, but we don’t sell to just anyone. To learn more about our process, check out this resource that gives a step-by-step guide between the application to receiving your puppy!
Because we have only one Labradoodle mother (and a couple guardian homes), puppies are available only occasionally. Contact us (nathan@crockettdoodles.com) for information about getting on a waiting list for a Labradoodle puppy or mini Labradoodle puppy if you’re interested in a puppy from the next available litter. We have a flexible waiting list and offer your deposit back if we do not have the ideal Labradoodle puppy for you within a certain window of time.
If a Labradoodle or mini Labradoodle puppy is right for your family, and if you are within driving distance of Greenville, SC, you may want to consider getting a chocolate Labradoodle or mini Labradoodle from us.
If you read our Labradoodle puppy methodology and like what you read, you should consider adopting one of our puppies.
We have a three-year health guarantee on each of our puppies if the forever home continues to feed TLC (one year health guarantee on all others). We encourage you to do your research, and talk to us if you’re interested (email nathan@crockettdoodles.com).
A Photo Session (of your Labradoodle puppy with you, or just the puppy if you prefer). You will have full access to all pictures and hold the copyright to make as many pictures as you desire. This is not a “bait and switch” photo session that gives you a few pictures, but requires you to pay for additional ones. You keep all the pictures.
We give your Labradoodle (or mini Labradoodle) puppy a quality collar.
We give your Labradoodle (or mini Labradoodle) puppy a quality leash.
We give you a bag of high quality dog food. We believe that you should give your new Labradoodle puppy (or mini Labradoodle puppy) the best food.
Instructional materials about crate training and house training. Our goal is to do everything we can to assist in the house training and crate training process. A Labradoodle or mini Labradoodle puppy (or any puppy) cannot be completely reliable in the house until the puppy is about 6 months old. The simple point is that (no matter what some breeders tell you) you will be partially involved in the house training process (unless you buy an older Labradoodle or mini Labradoodle), but we want to help you with that process.
A one-year health guarantee; extended to three years for all who continue to feed TLC.
If you’re interested in one of our Labradoodle puppies, please email nathan@crockettdoodles.com to find out how to get on our waiting list.

At ChocolateLabradoodlePuppies.com we intentionally specialize in excellent quality F1b chocolate-colored Labradoodles. Ultimately we cannot completely control the color of puppies. Even though chocolate is the most desirable color, we sometimes have puppies of other colors (even occasional merles). These puppies, will of course, also make excellent pets.
These non-chocolate Labradoodle puppies are also available to great families, but we know that Chocolate Labradoodles are the most desirable. It is not that the apricot Labradoodles, blue (silver) Labradoodles, white Labradoodles, or black Labradoodles will be any less quality of a pet, it’s simply a matter of supply and demand.
To see a list of available colors, check out this page.
A F1 Labradoodle (50% Lab / 50% Poodle) will virtually never end up with the same high quality coat that a F1b Labradoodle has. The Labrador Retriever has a short coat that sheds. When the Lab’s coat is mixed with a beautiful non-shedding Poodle coat, the resulting Labradoodle puppies will often have a scruffy-looking coat, that may well shed (a little or even a lot). By breeding the F1 50-50 Labradoodle back to an unrelated Poodle, the chances of getting the highly desirable non-shedding Poodle coat increase exponentially.
Some F1B Labradoodles are bred back another time to a Poodle in an effort to guarantee a Poodle coat. If high quality dogs are chosen to breed that have the head shape of a Labrador Retriever it is possible to get a puppy that is very similar in many ways to a Labrador, but has the beautiful non-shedding Poodle coat.
Both Labrador Retrievers and Poodles are highly intelligent dogs, helping Labradoodles excel in smarts, train-ability, and a general desire to always please their owner.

Although a few of our puppy families come from the area of Taylors, SC (Greenville County), most families travel a short distance from Charlotte, NC or Asheville, NC. We also have many puppy buyers from Charleston, Hilton Head, and Myrtle Beach.
Occasionally someone travels from Atlanta, Columbia, Raleigh-Durham or Knoxville, but our proximity to North Carolina and the popularity of Labradoodles in North Carolina make Charlotte and Asheville our most serviced locations. We also have some who are interested from distant states, but we primarily serve the Southeast U.S.
