The Suchodolski Family

Loki is an AKC Standard Parti Poodle with a beautiful mix of white, black, grey, and subtle hints of tan. Weighing just over 50 lbs, he has a calm, mellow personality that makes him the perfect family companion. He loves being groomed and enjoys the attention, with his gentle eyes expressing pure contentment as he’s pampered.

Loki lives with his guardian family, another McKenzie’s Doodle, and two tween kids. His easygoing nature makes him great with all ages and other dogs. Whether inside or running freely in the field, Loki is relaxed and enjoys the daily family routines. He loves curling up on your lap or sitting quietly at your feet, always seeking out affection. Loki’s peaceful presence is a true joy to his family, and he’s always close by, wagging his tail.

Parker is a merle poodle, the son of our retired poodle parents Haggard (a moyen poodle) and Calli (a standard poodle). Weighing just under 50 lbs, he’s a total sweetheart with a heart of gold! Snuggly and affectionate, Parker loves spending evenings curled up on the couch with his puppy brother and wonderful guardian family. He’s a pro at tag, fetch, and puppy push-ups (with treats, of course!) and graduated top of his class in puppy school!

Parker is known for his amazing hugs and loves to be held just like when he was a puppy. He is emotionally in tune with those around him and knows just what they need. As soon as the sun sets, he’s ready for bed and is a great imitation of a rug as he sleeps peacefully through the night.

River is a red and white Moyen Poodle who absolutely loves life with his Guardian Family! He’s their second guardian dog but the third member of the McKenzie’s family, and he couldn’t be a better fit. River loves attention and often asks for pets and hugs by resting his head on your lap or giving a soft nudge.

A true bedhog, River knows how to get comfortable and relax. He also loves playing stalking games with anyone willing to join in, and his quick learning ability made training a breeze. As a proud dad to our Irish Doodles and Goldendoodles, River is 45 lbs of pure joy and affection. His easygoing nature and loving personality make him a true treasure in his home and in our breeding program!

He comes from the original kennels that worked to produce the stunning red color in the standard poodle, carefully breeding up from the mini poodle to achieve it. Rory has impressive bloodlines, including Shangri La, Majestic, and Leather Stocking.

This big teddy bear, both in looks and temperament, has a heart of gold and an incredibly gentle nature. He loves everyone he meets, including other animals, and is always a calm, affectionate presence. Rory is the proud dad of our Goldendoodles and Irish Doodles, and his loving and easygoing nature makes him a favorite among his fur family.

Winston is the son of two of our very own dogs—Lexi, a retired poodle mom, and Loki, a current poodle dad. Winston was carefully held back from this litter due to his stunning tri-colored markings and his incredibly gentle, easy-going temperament.

What truly sets Winston apart is his exceptional patience and love for children. He is being raised alongside toddlers and a baby, and he is fantastic with them, always calm, gentle, and affectionate. His easygoing nature makes him the perfect family companion, and he is sure to pass on these wonderful qualities to his puppies. We’re excited to see the tri-colored pups he will produce, as they’ll inherit his loving and kid-friendly temperament.

OLD ENGLISH SHEEPDOG

McKenzie’s Doodles
The Brown Family

Meet our beloved Huck (short for Huckleberry), a true gem of a boy! While Huck is a proud dad to our Sheepadoodles, he’s also a cherished member of our family here at McKenzie’s Doodles and is a much-loved house pet. Huck is goofy, comical, and has an infectious personality that brings joy to everyone around him. You will either see or hear him greeting you here at our house when you come to pickup your puppy!

Loving, social, and completely guileless, Huck always believes you’re just as excited to be with him as he is with you! He’s a big, gorgeous boy who takes his role of guarding his ‘herd’ very seriously. Though he can be cautious with strangers at first, he warms up quickly, always ready to share his affectionate nature. A true clown with a big heart, Huck is also incredibly smart, making him the perfect combination of fun and intelligence. We’re so lucky to have him in our lives!

BERNESE MOUNTAIN DOG

McKenzie’s Doodles
The Brown Family

Teach is the wonderful son of two our own Hungarian Bernese Mountain Dogs Burley (dad) and Eesey (mom), and he truly embodies the best qualities of both! He has his mom’s loving smile and beauty, along with his dad’s big build and affectionate nature. Teach is playful, fun, and incredibly sweet, always ready to spread love to everyone he meets.

Despite his large size, Teach is the gentlest, most sensitive soul. We lovingly call him “big mush” and “teddy bear” because of his deeply sweet and loving nature. His eyes have a way of connecting with you, and he can sense your feelings, making him incredibly in tune with those he loves—both humans and animals alike. Teach lives with his wonderful Guardian Family in Newport News, where he shares a special bond with their four young children and their other pets, including two McKenzie’s Doodles and two cats. His gentle heart and deep connection to his family make him a true treasure!

Outgoing, playful, and deeply connected to those he loves, Tully is always ready for an adventure with his Guardian Family. He’s the perfect adventure buddy and enjoys exploring new places. To know Tully is to love him—he has a way of making the most adorable puppy dog eyes and will forever be a lap puppy, even though he's fully grown (don’t tell him that, though!). We are so grateful to have Tully in our program and are excited to pass on his wonderful traits to his puppies!

Roy (brother to Ruthie) is a future dad for us now that he has cleared his reproductive health testing! With a kind and playful spirit, Roy exudes warmth and charm in everything he does. He is perfect mix of social and affectionate and loves romping with his family just as much as he enjoys snuggling up for quiet moments. His natural ability to connect with people of all ages and his eagerness to please make him an instant favorite. He is lovingly nicknamed “Red” for his deep red coat and we’re thrilled to welcome his first litter in late 2025 with mama Nori, producing beautiful medium-sized red F1 Goldendoodles.

*Secret Family Ingredient*
Clan: O’Shannahs

Carl (yes his name is Carl) is the Dad to our MckNugget puppies. He is the most delightful creature on four legs you’ll ever meet! He never ceases to put a smile on our faces and make us laugh! To say he loves people (especially kids!), animals, and life is a total understatement. He is the sunshine on a cloudy day. He is low/no shed, hypoallergenic and, well, wonderful! His pups are to DIE for and love everyone, something rare in a small breed and why we chose him to be the dad to our smaller doodles! We have had no regrets, except, maybe, that we cannot keep ALL of them!
