My love for animals began in childhood and grew into a lifelong passion for raising dogs with care, compassion, and purpose. Since 2000, I’ve dedicated myself to breeding English Goldendoodles and Bernedoodles through DoodleDee Goldendoodles & More.
During this chapter, I spent 10 years as a registered nurse. That experience shaped my attention to detail and commitment to health—values that guide my breeding program every day. Health and temperament are at the heart of every breeding decision.
My parent dogs receive comprehensive health testing, including eVet orthopedic evaluations, genetic testing, and OFA eye and cardiac testing. Ethical breeding starts long before puppies arrive, with thoughtful decisions about the parents who bring them into the world.
NO PUPPY MILL HERE: My puppies are raised inside my home, in their clean, lovingly maintained “Puppy Palace,” complete with heated floors. No barns or sheds. They grow up surrounded by family life, with attention and care every three hours.
Their early development includes daily Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) during the appropriate newborn stage til approx 4 weeks of age, followed by gentle introductions to everyday sounds such as vacuuming, the radio, and household activity and socialization. This makes for a very well rounded puppy.
At 4 weeks old we begin outdoor potty training on turf, with age- and weather-appropriate supervision. I believe early, positive exposure to the outdoors helps build a strong foundation for successful potty habits.
For me, breeding is a responsibility rooted in a childhood love that never faded. My goal is to raise healthy, well-loved puppies with wonderful temperaments and give each one a thoughtful start before they join their family. 🤍
