Meet the breeder

I'm Janie S., the breeder behind Autumn Poodles/Doodles located in Beckley, WV. With 50+ years in AKC breeding and showing, I raise Poodle and Cavapoo puppies in my home with hands-on care. My small program focuses on health, structure, and temperament, with full testing and early socialization for well-rounded, loving companions.

Q. & A. with Janie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Some of my fondest memories growing up included my family and pets. I raised my first litter of puppies at age 14. After marriage my husband and I, with our daughters, raised and showed GSD. Throughout the decades our puppies have enriched our lives and the lives of many families. We can’t imagine a time without our pet(s). Let us help you and your family find just the perfect match.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our multi-generational program spans 50+ years—because experience matters. From birth, puppies are raised in our home with daily hands-on care, early socialization, and enrichment. Each receives age-appropriate vaccines, a vet exam, and careful monitoring to ensure they grow into happy, healthy, well-adjusted companions.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Poodle puppies include toy, miniature, and moyen 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 Poodle puppies include black, brown, parti, and phantom. Cavapoo puppies include merle, brown, chocolate, sable, red, blenheim, tri-color, black and tan, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Janie was very responsive and was always there to answer any questions or concerns. This was my first time buying a puppy from GoodDog and she was very patient. Prada herself is an absolute joy. She’s fearless and very confident. There really wasn’t a transition stage, as she acted as if she’d always lived with us.

    I could tell immediately when we started working with Janie, that she was the perfect breeder for us. Her focus is on the health & personality of your puppy. Once we selected Poppy she kept me informed on her progress with regular videos. She created an excellent foundation for crate training and basic commands. Poppy is a well adjusted puppy and a delightful addition to our family. I totally recommend to start & end your puppy search with Janie.

    I can’t say enough good things about Janie and my experience getting my Cavapoo puppy from her. From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive and patient in answering all of my questions. She regularly sent pictures, videos, and updates of my puppy right up until the day I brought him home, which made the process so exciting and reassuring. Janie also provided thoughtful recommendations for food, supplies, and equipment ahead of time so I could be fully prepared. Her knowledge and expertise were truly appreciated. It was obvious from the start how much she genuinely loves and cares for her dogs and puppies, and that they are raised with great attention and care. Beckley has been home with me for almost two weeks now, and Janie continues to be available to answer questions and offer guidance whenever needed. I would highly recommend Janie to anyone looking to welcome a happy, healthy puppy into their home.

    I can’t say enough about my experience using Good Dog, and finding Janie with Autumn Poodles/Doodles! Having been scammed before, I was very cautious about going online to find sister for our 5yo Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Kacey. But Good Dog was, in my opinion, the safest way to go about it. Having a breeder that was within driving distance for me to be able to meet the puppy was very important for me. And I was smitten the moment I saw the post for Willa. Janie contacted me as soon as I my application was approved, and she was very open to any and all questions. She understood my desire to meet Willa before making a commitment, and we were able to find a meet up time and place that worked for the both of us. From the moment she knew I wanted to meet Willa, even knowing there was no guarantee I would purchase, she filled me in on all that I needed to know about her. She sent me the information on her health and vaccinations, what kind of food she ate, and her personality. She sent me pictures and videos to give me an idea as to how Willa was prior to getting to meet her. Janie was very instrumental in helping me make the informed decision about adding Willa, now Meg, to our family. We have now had our sweet pup for a month, and she has been a delight! Janie has been great through this whole process. Being available from the get go to ensure the transition was easy, and following up to ensure that our sweet pup is doing well and fitting into the family (especially whether she and Kacey are getting along). 🥰🥰

    Where to begin?! Janie & Curtis drove an hour to introduce me to Abby, now Parker. They were genuinely two of the nicest people I’ve ever met! I could tell that they love their dogs and consider them family and that Parker had been spoiled rotten. I can’t thank them enough for helping us fill the hole that was left when our senior pup passed.

    Thank you Jamie for your assistance in getting our Cavapoo puppy. Boone is doing so well! He is adjusting to us and his new home with great success. He is doing really great with his outside training! He is taking short walks on his lead twice a day…so good. And he is sleeping from 11-6 with his snuggle puppy and a sound machine. So we are loving him and are so pleased with how well he is doing and how satisfied he seems to be with us! Thanks for being his first Momma and helping him have such a good start!
