I'm Heather H., the breeder behind Arbor Grace Doodles located in North Conway, NH. We raise our litters in our home to help set the foundation for happy and confident puppies to transition well into their forever homes. It’s a privilege to have the opportunity to make an impact on each individual puppy!
Q. & A. with Heather
Why did you start breeding?
I work with foster and adoptive families which is purpose filled work but it's also emotionally taxing and at times a bit stressful! I began breeding doodles for a self-care outlet and to bring joy to other families.
What makes your program special?
Our doodles are part of our family...full stop. We breed specifically for temperament and work hard to match our furbabies with families that will include them as part of their family and truly enrich their lives. We are a small program, raising 2-3 litters per year with an emphasis on a strong start for our puppies. Our doodles are family for life.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include medium and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, apricot, red, chocolate, black, phantom, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.

A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
Chondrodystrophy and IVDD Risk (CDDY-IVDD), Full Embark Panel, DNA Disease Panel

Words can not begin to express what a wonderful experience we had getting our new puppy. Heather was absolutely amazing. She answered all my questions and even drove close to where we live to deliver our puppy. She supplied us with so many treats to make his transition into living with us easier on him. She is truly amazing and loves her puppies so much. Thank you so much Heather.

Heather was amazing from start to finish, although she said we could contact her with questions anytime so I’m sure she will be hearing from us a lot! She was very understanding about my daughter’s allergies and since we live in the next state over, she let us meet the dog prior to taking her home. Heather is super knowledgeable and patiently answered all the questions we had. She provides all of the medical records as well as info on the parents when you take the puppy home. You can tell she really cares about the puppies and has spent a lot of time training them before they come home. I would highly recommend Arbor Grace!!!

Heather was amazing from start to finish. She was always readily available to answer any questions and even offered a virtual meeting to provide additional information and support. It was clear how much she genuinely loves and cares for each of the puppies. Knowing that Finn had been so well cared for and loved from the very beginning gave me great peace of mind.
Her willingness to drive halfway made the entire process so much easier. Meeting her and her husband reassured us that, after months of searching, we had absolutely chosen the right breeders. Their kindness and dedication truly set them apart.
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
