Meet the breeder
I'm Bret V., the breeder behind Arizona Darling Doodles located in Snowflake, AZ. We offer High Quality, well socialized, family raised Goldendoodles! Our dogs are bread for their temperaments and hypoallergenic nature. We raise our puppies in our home, with our 3 kids ages 6, 4, and 2 years old. They play with and handle each puppy every single day, which makes for very calm temperamented pups! We do ENS training, and Crate training with each pup!
Q. & A. with Bret
Why did you start breeding?
As said above, JaNae, the wife, grew up raising Golden Retrievers all her life and a ton of her memories revolve around puppies. With 3 kids of our own we wanted to give our kids that same lifestyle!What makes your program special?
Our breeding program is special because we only keep one breeding female at a time, and only do one litter a year. We do this to ensure each litter gets all the attention! We know some doodles can have a bad reputation of being wild and crazy, and we have realized that our pups are not this way, and we truly believe this is because of the time and effort and attention we give them daily!What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, apricot, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Jessie
Jessie is our family dog who we raised from 8 weeks old! She spends most of her time at our hip or letting our kids wrestle her or snuggle her. She sleeps in the kids room and loves them as much as they love her. She is super smart, obedient, and doesn't have any of the crazy hyper in her! She loves the outdoors, and feels her most free when we are camping in the woods. She is an off leash woods dog and doesnt wander more than 50 feet away from our campsite. So much to brag about with our girl Jessie! We believe she passes down her calm, gentle temperament to her pups!
