Meet the breeder

I'm Candace P., the breeder behind Candy Doodles located in Florence, SC. The generations currently produced here at Candy Doodles are F1b, F2b, and Multigenerational which all have high success rates of producing pups that do not shed, or shed very, very little. I currently breed for colors of apricot, red, and cream in solid colors and in abstract, tuxedo, and parti. The sizes I currently breed for are mini, medium, and standard. My mission is to breed adorable, quality Goldendoodles with excellent temperaments.

Q. & A. with Candace

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I fell in love with the Goldendoodle breed when I added my first one back in 2005. At that time I had no intention of breeding because I didn’t have the time needed. When I added my 2nd Goldendoodle around 2014 I realized I wanted to breed this amazing mix to give other families the chance to have the perfect family dog, and I was in a position to give all my time and attention.
  • What makes your program special?

    I care about each individual pup like he/she is my own child. They get the best of me from the moment they are born. I’m always here for each family with all questions they will have throughout the dog's lifetime. The families love staying in touch with not only me but all of the pups from Candy Doodles on our private FB family page. I stand by my pups and contract.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Bernedoodle puppies include mini and medium sizes. Goldendoodle 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 Bernedoodle puppies include tri-color, phantom, and merle. Goldendoodle puppies include apricot, red, chocolate, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.
