Meet the breeder

I'm Rochelle C., the breeder behind Cooley's Cuddle Pups located in Neosho, MO. I want to provide top-quality beloved companions. I have committed myself towards preparing each one of my puppies to thrive in their new homes, and I enjoy working with their new families so that they can raise their new furbaby with confidence. My dogs live in the house with me. They are all extremely socialized and very loved. Some people ask how and why do I give so much stuff with my puppies. Or they think that it's too good to be true. I give so much stuff with the puppies so that even though they are going to a new environment they have some things that they're familiar with. I do believe that this causes less stress on the puppies. Having that scented blanket is a great comfort to puppies. I care about my dogs and their babies as if they were my children and my grandchildren. All of my dogs are DNA Health screenings for genetic defects. They have also completed all of OFA certifications and are C.H.I.C certified, to make sure that they are clear of any Musculoskeletal and Cardiac defects Included with your puppy; Kennel crate, Blanket, Micro-chipped, UTD on shots dewormed and record of shots/dewormed date, 2-3 toys, Harness and leash, Toothbrush for your puppy, Puppy food starter kit, Stainless Steel food and water bowl, Potty pad trained Very loved & social that was raised indoors.

Q. & A. with Rochelle

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My Grandpa raised Beagles when I was a small child and remember helping him put the dogs to bed every night and making sure that they had food and water in the mornings. Then as an older child, my parents raised Black Labs and Dauchaunds. After moving to Missouri I got my 1st Great Pyrenese and decided to raise them. We were also going to raise St Bernards due to my hubby's love for them. After he passed away, I really didn't feel that the large dogs were going to be the right fit for me being alone. My kids raised Maltipoo's and gave me a little girl to be my new companion. I saw how special my little girl made me feel and I wanted to share that same feeling with others. Nothing like having a bad day and having those big brown eyes looking up at you with that tail wagging to make everything all better. The rest is history. I don't know what I would do without them now.

  • What makes your program special?

    My dogs are in my home where they get daily love and attention. They are treated like part of the family not like something that is just around to have puppies. I do a video call with a prospective new puppy owner so that they can see the puppies. I will send weekly pics/videos of a person's new fur baby so that they can be part of their puppies growing up till they can get their puppy. I am also in the process of getting all of my breeding dogs OFA tested and Chic certified.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Bichon Frise puppies include white and buff, white and cream, and white. Shih Tzu puppies include tricolor, chocolate, cream and white, sable and white, black, gold and white, liver and white, brindle and white, blue and white, black gold and white, black and white, and brindle. Miniature Schnauzer puppies include wheaten, parti, liver, salt and pepper, and black and silver. Maltese puppies include white, white and tan, and white and lemon. Maltipoo puppies include parti, apricot, cream, silver, silver beige, white, phantom, and black & tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

    First and far most, Rochelle is the most amazing breeder a person could hope to work with when making such an important decision to had a precious puppy to your family. Once I knew I had found the puppy I had spent months looking for, Rochelle provided her kind guidance, knowledge, and professionalism every step of the way. She was beyond responsive to my questions any time of the day. By the time I made arrangements to pick my sweet puppy up (coming from out-of-state), she was like a friend I had known for years! Upon arriving, it was genuinely a friendship that I felt with her and knew I had selected the best breeder out there. Rochelle is the very best. And, if you want a positive and special experience with finding that special puppy for your family or as an individual, she's the one. She made my entire experience finding my sweet Shih Tzu puppy one I will cherish forever. Thank you so so much Rochelle.

    Rochelle was good to work with. She responded to emails quickly and I was able to see the pup and parents on FaceTime. I did considerable research because I wanted to select a breeder that is not a puppy mill. I felt confident in my choice. Our new Bichon has been just what we were looking for, he has a sweet disposition and an intelligent calm nature. The delivery service was smooth. Very impressed that he came pee pad trained. I would recommend Cooley’s Cuddle Pups.

She answered all of my questions in a very timely manner and was such a pleasure to speak with! We absolutely LOVE our Benny boy!!

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience getting my puppy, Louis, from Rochelle. From the very beginning, Rochelle was professional, knowledgeable, caring, and genuinely passionate about her dogs. She took the time to answer all of my questions, provide updates, and make sure I felt comfortable throughout the entire process. Louis has been an absolute dream puppy. He is healthy, happy, intelligent, affectionate, and has an amazing temperament. It’s clear that Rochelle puts an incredible amount of love, care, and effort into raising her puppies from the start. Louis was well-socialized, confident, and adjusted beautifully to his new home.

    Rochelle has been great from the moment I reached out. Romeo was the first puppy I saw and I knew it was meant to be. I reserved him on the spot and I’m in love. He is healthy and happy. He has a beautiful disposition and it’s obvious he comes from good genes. He’s a strong little guy for being the “runt”. He’s super smart and at 11 weeks is pretty much house broke after 1 week! Rochelle is very communicative and knowledgeable. Pleasant as well. She was very accommodating through the adoption process and more than giving with all the goodies that came along with Romeo. I couldn’t more strongly recommended adopting from her.
