DeRoos Kennels

We are small time breeders, but my family has been raising dogs for as long as I can remember. We raised dogs as a family. Our dogs are still our pets.

I, Shayna, and my husband, Byron, currently raise purebred Labrador Retrievers and Springerdoodles (English Springer Spaniel/Standard Poodles). It all started with our family of 7 that lived on our farm southwest of Rock Valley for about 18 years. All of our dogs were our pets and were owned by one of the kids. It started with Labrador Retrievers and Norwegian Elkhounds in the barn. Our females we

re only bred once a year, and usually had their puppies in the summer when the kids were out of school, to have more time to help out with the puppies. Now, although the location (and last name) has changed, the goal is still the same. Located near Rock Rapids, Iowa, my husband, Byron, and I carry on the DeRoos Kennels name, raising purebred Labrador Retrievers and Springerdoodles! They roam our 7 acres and are free to live as dogs should. We only have a few and each one is loved so much.

With all the rain/storms we've been getting the pups haven't gotten their usual play time. Safe to say they are taking full advantage of this beautiful night to get that energy out!

Last up is….Pluto!

🐾 Meet Pluto🌎🪐

Big boy, big heart! Pluto is one of the chunkiest pups in our litter—and probably the snuggliest too. He lives for pets, food, and lap time.

He has some brown and white tri coloring to his coat, complete with spots on his nose just like his Mama!

He’s the kind of pup who will follow you just to lay his head on your foot and melt into you. Total sweetheart vibes. 💕 Don’t wait! Pluto is your last chance to get ahold of one of our Springerdoodles this year. Message us today to make Pluto apart of your family.

Next up is….Rocket!

🚀 Meet Rocket 🐶

Rocket is our little adventurer! He’s got those classic Springer traits—nose to the ground, always on a mission, and curious about everything.

He also showcases more of that Springer Spaniel look and texture to his coat with solid brown and white coloring.

Whether he’s investigating a blade of grass or a new toy, he’s all about exploring his world. But don’t worry, he never strays too far—he always circles back for a good cuddle or some love. 🥰 Sweet, smart, and oh-so-loyal. Message us today to make this sweet guy apart of your family!

We are going to be spotlighting some of our pups this week and first up is Miss Venus…

🐾 Meet Venus 🌟

Little pup, big personality! Venus may be the smallest in our Springerdoodle litter, but she is definitely the boldest! She’s the first to check out anything new, always leading the pack with her confident (and adorable) energy. 😅 She’s got sass, sparkle, and a whole lot of spunk—and we love every bit of her!

She is our only black and white tri-colored one out of the bunch. So she is one of a kind!

We think her name suits her perfectly—bright, beautiful, and full of fire. 💫 Contact us today to make her apart of your family.

Our Story

We are a small family business that raises dogs and have been doing so for about ten years. We got the name from our grandparents old dog business and decided to keep it going in our family. When we were young, each child in the family gets his or her own dog to breed. My husband, Byron and I have now taken over the business and have still kept it on the small side while introducing a few newbies to the mix. We breed each of our dogs only once a year and the puppies are sold privately. All our dogs are up to date on shots, vet checked, and are all registered with AKC. The puppies get full vet checks, shots, records, and registration papers when sold. We will do air travel with an extra fee to do so. Our dogs and the puppies are well socialized and are our pets. We currently breed Springerdoodles (English Springer Spaniel/Standard Poodle) and Labrador Retrievers ( mainly black, chocolate, and silver).
