About Us

Jewell Kennels is owned and operated by Rebecca Dudley with the help of her two children, Joella and Hudson, in south central Iowa. Our mission is to breed quality dogs that become lifelong family members!

The health of every puppy begins with the health of their parents. All of our breeding dogs undergo comprehensive Embark DNA testing and receive appropriate OFA certifications to help ensure they meet high standards for genetic health and soundness. Every puppy also comes with a two-year genetic health guarantee, giving you added confidence that your new companion has been thoughtfully and responsibly bred.

We specialize in raising Goldendoodles and Bernedoodles. Many of our puppies go on to be therapy dogs, as well as service dogs. It is our passion to raise well rounded family companions. Our puppies are handled from day one, and are exposed to children, household sights and sounds, other pets, and daily training. You will not be disappointed with their willingness to learn and to please their humans. Deposits to hold your puppy are $200, and are non-refundable.

We send dogs all over the US, and have a trusted flight nanny that would accompany your puppy on a plane.

Jewell Kennels was founded in 2016 with two incredible dogs, Norman and Penny, and a dream of raising puppies with exceptional temperaments. What started as a passion has grown into a trusted breeding program focused on producing loving family companions and therapy dogs. Nearly a decade later, our mission remains the same: to give every puppy the best possible start through intentional breeding, early socialization, and individualized care.

Bringing home your puppy is just the beginning of our relationship. We are always here to answer questions, offer guidance, and celebrate milestones throughout your dog's life. Many of our puppy families stay in touch for years, sharing updates and photos, and we're honored that so many return to Jewell Kennels when they're ready to welcome another puppy. Once you become part of the Jewell Kennels family, you're family for life.
