Meet the breeder

I'm Richard M., the breeder behind Adored Poodle & Doodles located in Tucson, AZ. Adored Poodles & Doodles is a family‑run program devoted to raising dogs with exceptional health, temperament, and overall well‑being. We thoughtfully incorporate Puppy Culture into every stage of our puppies’ early development, ensuring they receive the strongest possible start. When families choose one of our puppies, they can feel confident knowing their new companion comes with a remarkable foundation built on care, intention, and love.

Q. & A. with Richard

  • Why did you start breeding?

    For as long as I can remember, I’ve felt a deep connection to animals, dogs especially. I’ve always been fascinated by the incredible diversity among breeds, each with its own distinct traits, instincts, and personalities that make them so beloved by their families. That uniqueness is what first inspired my dream of becoming a breeder. Over the years, that dream has grown into a commitment: to raise puppies who embody the very best of their breed, healthy, well‑balanced, and deeply loved from the start. Bringing joy to families by providing them with a cherished companion is one of the most meaningful parts of this work. I recognize that responsible breeding carries tremendous responsibility. That’s why I’m intentional and selective when choosing breeding pairs, always prioritizing health, temperament, and genetic soundness. I’m equally devoted to the daily care and well‑being of every dog and puppy in my program. Through thoughtful, ethical practices, I hope to make a positive contribution to the world of dog breeding and to bring happiness to families near and far by helping them welcome a wonderful new furry family member into their home.

  • What makes your program special?

    The heart of our program is rooted in an unwavering commitment to the health, happiness, and overall well‑being of every dog in our care. We believe responsible breeding goes far beyond producing puppies that meet breed standards, it begins at birth with intentional nurturing, socialization, and thoughtful development. To uphold this philosophy, we carefully select breeding pairs that not only display desirable physical qualities but also possess the temperament and personality traits that make exceptional family companions. Our goal is to produce puppies who are not just beautiful, but emotionally balanced, confident, and deeply connected to people. From day one, each puppy receives individualized attention, early socialization, and foundational training designed to help them grow into well‑mannered, adaptable dogs. These early experiences support smoother transitions into new homes and help them thrive in a variety of environments. We remain fully committed to providing top‑tier veterinary care, proper nutrition, and ample exercise for all our dogs and their future generations. Through these high standards and intentional practices, we strive not only to create a truly exceptional breeding program but also to set a benchmark for excellence within the field.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Bernedoodle puppies include tiny, mini, and medium sizes. Goldendoodle puppies include petite, miniature, and standard sizes. Cavapoo puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Bernedoodle puppies include brown, red, tri-color, and merle. Goldendoodle puppies include red, chocolate, and merle. Cavapoo puppies include merle, chocolate, blenheim, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Connie was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. She was always responsive, answered all of my questions promptly, and made the delivery process smooth and stress-free. Our puppy is absolutely adorable—not only is she beautiful, but she also has an amazing temperament. She is incredibly sweet, smart, and affectionate. It is clear that Connie spent time working with her before she came home. Our Emi is comfortable around loud noises—I can vacuum right next to her without bothering her—and she doesn't beg for or show interest in human food. Those have been huge positives and have made the transition into our family much easier. It was also evident that she had been well socialized with both people and other dogs. The only suggestion I would offer is that, since we brought Emi home at 13 weeks of age, it would have been wonderful if she had already been introduced to crate training. That said, she is learning quickly, and this has been a relatively small adjustment compared to all of the wonderful qualities she already has. Overall, it has been a fantastic experience, and we are so grateful to Connie for raising such a healthy, well-adjusted, and loving puppy. We couldn't be happier.

    We have had our girl Emmaline, aka Tink for about an about a month. I can’t explain how great everything was/is with the breeder. From our first contact, to delivery, and to the help after pickup. Our puppy was just how Connie explained and showed us pictures of. The puppies are raised in her home with lots of love and care. Our girl was adjusted to her playpen for naps and sleeps in a soft sided crate in our bed. From day one she slept through the night and never complained when she was in her playpen. To top that all off she was trained to potty pads. Our girl was so accustomed to sounds and people. We couldn’t have asked for more in getting a new puppy. Being a first time Cavapoo owner, Connie answered and explained all of our questions and concerns. If you are considering this breeder and the pups, you couldn’t find a better one.

    I got my little girl Oakley formally known as “Princess Peach” from Adored Poodle & Doodles and she is just the perfect addition to our little family. She has the most amazing personality & gets along with our other labradoodle Chance, amazingly. They wrestle together during the day, and cuddle together at night. She’s so smart and a quick learner and is almost fully potty trained! When I picked her up at the airport we had to wait there all day for our next flight and had zero accidents the entire time. She is so full of love and so goofy! We are so blessed to have her as a part of our family. Adored poodle & doodles were so amazing throughout the entire process! They were super quick to respond back to messages and even set up a FaceTime call with me to let me see her and give me more information about her before I made the decision to get her. That FaceTime call is what really sold me! They stayed connected with me the entire process and checked in on us multiple times after! I highly recommend getting your puppy from this breeder, they are absolutely amazing and have such wonderful breeding practices which is reflected perfectly in their amazing puppies you can choose to adopt!!

    Richard was extremely responsive and helpful with my million questions as a new dog mom. My puppy is absolutely perfect and has the best temperament. She’s so smart and came home knowing how to use the pee pad which was so helpful. I’m so happy with my puppy and Richard did a great job raising her until she was ready to come home. 🤎
