Meet the breeder

I'm Andrea N., the breeder behind Curls & Paws Canines located in Mifflintown, PA. Every puppy we raise is adored as part of our family from birth. Our puppies will complete your home, your family, and your heart! Each of our dogs has brought so much happiness to us throughout their lives.

Q. & A. with Andrea

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Looking at the downside of unfortunately so many breeders and their practices, I wanted to step in and help raise the bar, for the love of my dogs and all. And I love dogs, so the more I have living life with me, the better!😁

  • What makes your program special?

    Each puppy is anticipated and anxiously awaited from the very beginning. Our dogs and puppies are loved genuinely by us and receive lots of love and hours and hours of our time. Before each puppy goes to your home, they are being worked with for crate training and house training. They also each get a blanket, stuffed toy to sleep with, a collar, a small bag of dog food as well as recommendations for training, food, etc. and are up to date on vaccines and vet checked. We strive to help give every puppy the best and most comfortable beginning in their new home!

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Assorted Doodle Crosses puppies include petite and medium sizes. Shihpoo puppies are mini size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

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

    Our Assorted Doodle Crosses puppies include white, red, and cream. Shihpoo puppies include red and white, red, brindle and white, black and white, and black. Shih Tzu puppies include black, brindle and white, white, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Andrea was very proactive, transparent, and communicative throughout the whole process. She made everything simple and was very thoughtful in making sure my puppy had a smooth transition to her new home. I could not recommend her enough!

    Thank you, Andrea, for providing our family a beautiful and healthy puppy! Communication was a breeze and I was able to drive to meet our little guy prior to choosing who would be the best fit for the family. We were provided updates with pictures and/or videos weekly and even a few extras when I was so excited and needed more. Andrea met me half way for delivery, which was a nice option, and we made our way to the vet that day for a check up. I knew we were in good shape when the Vet said “good” after each area he checked out…a perfectly healthy baby boy💙 Thanks for making the process so easy and we’ll be sure to keep you up to date through the years with pictures!

    **Review for Andrea the Breeder and GoodDog App** ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As a retired couple, we never envisioned purchasing a puppy online, especially from someone 16 hours away. However, our experience with Andrea, the breeder, and the GoodDog app turned out to be incredibly positive and reassuring. From the moment I reached out to Andrea, she made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Her friendly demeanor, combined with a high level of professionalism, put us at ease right away. Andrea was organized and prompt in answering all our questions, ensuring we were fully informed every step of the way. She took the time to walk us through the details of our agreement, shared our puppy’s history, and provided valuable references for training. We appreciated receiving a written copy of everything discussed, which added to the overall transparency and trustworthiness of the experience. We have now had Winston Pooh (formerly Dallas) for 7 days, and he is an absolute delight! Full of energy and curiosity, he can run faster than we imagined for such a small guy. It’s evident that he has been well cared for, loved, and socialized. We are particularly impressed with his obedience; he understands “No” and picks up new commands quickly. We cannot thank Andrea enough for the exceptional breeding of our beloved puppy. If you are considering bringing a new furry friend into your family, we wholeheartedly recommend Andrea and the GoodDog app. The experience exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are so grateful to have found Winston Pooh!

    Andrea was kind, knowledgeable, and caring throughout our entire process. She was so responsive to any questions I had and answered quickly. We feel so blessed to have found her! We fell in love with Emmy right away and soon before pick up for her we started to feel a strong pull to get her brother "Eric" as well. We got to pick up day and ended up taking both of them🩷🩵

    We are so grateful to have found Andrea with Curls & Paws Canine! From the very beginning, it was clear how deeply she cares for her dogs and how much time and love she puts into raising her puppies. Andrea truly cares about doing things the right way, she raises her pups with so much love and responsibility, and that was exactly what we were looking for. The communication throughout the entire process was amazing. Andrea was responsive, knowledgeable, and always open to answering any questions we had. She kept a detailed and updated log of Ellis from the day he was born all the way until we brought him home, which meant the world to us. Pick-up day was smooth and stress-free. Andrea met us at a safe public location, took the time to go over everything we needed to know about Ellis, and sent us off feeling confident and supported. Ellis has been adjusting wonderfully! He’s playful, affectionate, and loves to snuggle right up in your lap. He’s already doing great with potty training both outside and on pee pads and he’s getting along beautifully with his new fur sister. After recently losing our 17-year-old Shih-Poo, we couldn’t have asked for a more positive experience. Andrea made everything feel safe, loving, and professional. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reputable and caring breeder. She’s truly one of a kind! Maryssa & Lee Ann

    Andrea was amazing! She answered all the questions I had as a first time puppy owner and she was extremely helpful. Our puppy was healthy and already pad trained when we received him! I would 100% recommend her if you’re looking for a new pup!
