Meet the breeder

I'm Valerie G., the breeder behind Bonjour Doodles located in Richlands, NC. Our dogs are bred and raised in our home, where we focus not only on beauty, health, but also on great temperaments. Our little puppies are loved, handled daily and socialized to create perfect family pets. We also work with a local Non-profit organization which trains service dogs for veterans. Some of our puppies have now become service dogs and we are so proud of them!

Q. & A. with Valerie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I because of my love for dogs, I started volunteering with a breeder I knew to help care, groom and show some of her puppies in the show ring. From that experience, it didn’t take long for me to take the leap into showing my own dogs and later on breeding my first litter. I have enjoyed taking care of newborn puppies and their dams for many years now, but I am still as excited as I was for my first litter!
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies include petite and miniature sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.
