Meet the breeder

I'm Engel G., the breeder behind Coastal Cocoa Labradoodle located in Chula Vista, CA. A family-owned, CKC-certified breeder of premium chocolate, cream & gold Labradoodles, all with our signature liver noses. We breed healthy, family-friendly Labradoodles with low-shedding coats and loving temperaments. Our puppies are raised with care and love.

Q. & A. with Engel

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I breed because I believe that a well-bred dog is a gift to a family—and that gift begins with a love for genetics and a reverence for the dog itself. I study pedigrees like DNA maps, tracking health, diversity, and temperament in every litter. My dogs are family—they soothe me and ground my kids. Breeding is my way of honoring that bond through science, ethics, and heart.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our puppies are raised in a bustling home with three gentle large-breed dogs and loving kids—not a kennel. They hear laughter, feel tiny hands, and explore our big backyard daily. Weekends mean beach sand, park grass, and endless family cuddles. We believe non-shedding Labradoodles are simply the best—their playful, intuitive, and affectionate personalities win every heart.

  • 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 are chocolate. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
