Meet the breeder

I'm Michelle S., the breeder behind AZ Ohana Doodles located in Surprise, AZ. Our high-quality puppies are the result of extensive research and thorough care for our outstanding dogs and puppies. Our breeding program started with one small litter that turned into a fulfilling, lifelong passion! We believe there’s no greater joy than providing families with companions that share unconditional love no matter what.

Q. & A. with Michelle

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Breeding has been heavy on my heart for 4 years prior to having my first litter. I started my journey learning and collecting information on how to be an ethical breeder. I have so much love to give and can’t wait to share them with my puppies, program and families.

  • What makes your program special?

    We are a family who loves raising & loving our mama’s and puppies🥰 All of our parents are health tested and produce some of the best temperaments!

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies include miniature, 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, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    The entire experience was a dream! Michelle was very responsive and communicative up until I was able to pick up my baby girl. My husband and I have never done something like this and we had many questions. Michelle answered all of the questions quickly and when it came time to pick up our pup, it was a super easy process.

    We had an amazing experience with Michelle. Our Mabel is the sweetest. We love her so much that we are purchasing another puppy through Michelle.

    Michelle was wonderful to work with. Very professional as well as personable. She takes great pride and care of the mama as well as the puppies. We could not be more thrilled with our new puppy. He’s had a great review at the vets office and he is so smart and responsive to training already. We are so happy to have George in the family!

    I can’t even describe how amazing our new best friend Griffin is! From the minute I made contact with Michelle. She stayed in touch informing me, sent pictures and posted online about all the puppies every week. I felt like I was watching his first eight weeks live, until the day we were able to come pick up our boy. We haven’t had a puppy in the house in 10 years and I must’ve asked her 100 questions. Without fail, she responded and made me feel comfortable. Best decision ever.

    After losing both of my beloved fur babies six months apart, I reached out to Michelle to express interest in a new little one. She was quick to respond and answered all of my questions as a potential first time mini doodle owner. She planned on having a litter available in the Fall. Our sweet girl was born on July 4th. I had so many more questions and Michelle was so kind and knowledgeable and answered them all. I could tell she loves dogs and takes great care of all her mamas and litters as one big extended family. On pick day, she helped me determine which puppy would be a good fit for our family based on what I was looking for. When we finally met Poppi, we were all instantly in love. Our chicken nugget is so playful, so spunky and so loving. She had everything we wanted in a new pup. Michelle has been so amazing and supportive through the whole process of inquiry to puppy take home day. She puts so much love and time into each little baby, along with loving all her mamas and visiting dogs. As a first time mini doodle purchaser, I had a fantastic experience with Michelle at AZ Ohana Doodles. If you have wanted a sweet mini doodle, contact Michelle. She is the best!

    I happened to stroll across Michelle’s page as a last resort effort to get my little girl a puppy in time for Christmas 2023. I had met with another breeder, who actually turned out to own the sire of our pup, not knowing about Michelle. While I loved that breeder, I just didn’t click with the pups they had available. Michelle was so accommodating and allowed me to come meet her last pup and it was love at first sight!! Our Adley was so loving and I knew she was going to be special for our family. Michelle did such an amazing job with creating the perfect pup. When we brought her home, she didn’t whine at night or in her crate, she only ever had two accidents in the house (she’ll be a year old 9/20) and she’s just such a smart loving dog. She’s so trainable and good/gentle/patient with our kiddo and all other children. She is the perfect fit for our family and we can’t thank Michelle enough.
