I'm Diane E., the breeder behind Crabtree Doodles located in Raleigh, NC. We are a small, in-home breeding program where we prioritize giving each dog and puppy the best care that we can. We cherish all of our animals and enjoy sharing the love of this breed with other individuals and families!
Q. & A. with Diane
Why did you start breeding?
Our journey began with Meg, our mini poodle. She was so cute and sweet that we decided to let her have a litter. Her puppies were just as adorable as she was that we decided to continue the process!
What makes your program special?
Our breeding is special for several reasons. We breed only 1 litter at a time so each puppy gets our individual love and attention. Our puppies have never had worms or any other parasite. Our puppies are kept in a pen in our living room so they are right in the middle of everything that goes on in our lives. They are held, hugged, loved many times a day. Their pen is kept comfortable and clean. Our pups are in excellent health. They are socialized in every way.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include apricot, cream, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
