Meet the breeder

I'm Darrell A., the breeder behind D and D’s Dandy Doodles located in Seymour, MO. Our focus on Quality, DNA Health Testing, Temperament, and Intelligence of our Puppies achieved us the title among the top 9 Breeders in the state of Ky. We’ve been in Missouri for the past 2 yrs and our Quality hasn’t changed.

Q. & A. with Darrell

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We owned a Medical Equipment Co. and always enjoyed working together. After retiring, we wanted to get into something involving our love for dogs. We’ve always loved dogs and, in fact, my wife had always said that I had missed my calling and should have been a Veterinarian. We decided to raise Doodles so those that love dogs but have allergies that have kept them from having them, could have one.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our Love for our Dogs and the desire we have to raise Top Quality Multigen Puppies with the Emphasis on DNA Genetic Health Testing really sets us apart. We came from Ky. 2 yrs ago where we were named one of the Top 9 Breeders in the State, and this was for our quality of puppies and our customer service. We perform ENS, and desensitize the pups to sounds such as, Thunder, Fireworks, Sirens & more
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Bernedoodle puppies are mini size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Bernedoodle puppies include brown and white, tri-color, and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

    We could not be happier with our experience working with Darrell! We spent a lot of time researching Bernedoodle breeders and finally landed with D & D Dandy Doodles. Darrell's background and vast experience breeding doodles sold us. We found the most perfect puppy in every way. Doc (aka 'Rooster') is as perfect a Bernedoodle specimen as you could ask for. Doc is healthy, robust, acclimated to people, and very well bred. Our vet agrees! Doc is so adorable and friendly, two of our friends will be contacting Darrell for a puppy in 2026. Highly recommend this breeder!

    D and D's Dandy Doodles was such an amazing experience. This is mine and my boyfriends first time getting a puppy and D and D made it such a great experience. They were very patient with us as we made the hard choice of which puppy to take, the early trainings they did with our dog have made the biggest difference in the world. She is so well behaved and has been incredibly easy to train. She is smart and healthy and you can tell they really care about their dogs. Plus she is the cutest! I could not recommend D and D more and will likely be back next time we are wanting to add a puppy to the family.

    Darrell is a wonderful Christian man. He responded quickly to even my silliest of questions. He and his wife Dianne have been in this business for years and let me just say the quality of our dog is proof. We are crazy about her. She is funny and filled with personality but at the same time she is ready to please and listen and learn. She has been a huge addition for our too quiet home! We couldn't be more pleased with our experience...
