SBF Episode 23 The Dacus Doodles Story Service Dogs, Healing, and Hope

Jess and Joni sit down with Tammy and Carli from Dacus Doodles, the incredible mother–daughter duo behind one of the most intentional, heart-centered Goldendoodle breeding programs in Texas. What starts as a conversation about dogs quickly becomes a powerful discussion about service animals, working dogs, temperament testing, and the life-changing impact the right dog can have on children with disabilities. Tammy and Carli share: The surprising origin story of Dacus Doodles How they carefully health-test and temperament-evaluate every puppy What really makes a service dog different from an emotional support dog Why proper training and matching matters more than color, gender, or trends Real stories of dogs who changed the lives of children—including a little boy with selective mutism who found his voice through his service dog Whether you're a special-needs parent considering a service dog, a dog lover who wants to learn more, or a family searching for support, this episode is full of insight, compassion, and hope.
