Meet the breeder

I'm Ellie H., the breeder behind Dandy Doodles located in Ocala, FL. We are a small and conscious Goldendoodle breeder in Ocala, Florida focused on quality over quantity. Our puppies are family-raised in our home, focusing on excellent temperaments, health tested, crate trained, socialized, and started on basic training—ready to become loving family or service companions.

Q. & A. with Ellie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Some of my fondest memories from my childhood were living on our family farm. The most memorable of those memories was when my parents would bring us to the barn, even if it was in during the middle of the night, just to was the foal’s birth or when our Aussies had a litter. Now, I can provide the same beautiful memories for mine.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our Goldendoodle puppies are family-raised in our Florida home—not kennels—with daily love, socialization, and early training. Exposed to kids, dogs, and household sounds, they grow into confident, well-mannered companions. Health-tested parents ensure happy, healthy puppies ready for loving homes.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies include miniature, medium, and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

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

    Our puppies include silver, sable, cream, apricot, red, chocolate, black, phantom, merle, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Ellie

Ellie has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Ellie partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 7 weeks old.

“We take great care in matching each puppy with the right family. Puppies are thoughtfully placed once they are old enough for us to properly evaluate their temperament and personality, typically around 7–8 weeks of age. While we always take each family’s preferences into consideration—such as color and gender—our top priority is making the best temperament match. We believe this approach creates the strongest, most successful lifelong bonds, because this isn’t just a pet—it’s a new member of your family.”

Price

Puppy prices include a $700 non-refundable deposit and between $2,300 - $3,300 final payment, before taxes & fees.

“Our puppies are happy and healthy when they come home with you! All puppies have a full health exam with proper vaccinations/worming, microchipping, start of potty training, and socialization. The deposit is due to reserve your spot and is transferable to another litter.”

Contract & health guarantee

Ellie may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Ellie offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Ellie directly.

All contracts are handled securely through Good Dog.

    Ellie was fantastic pairing us with our Pepe. We chatted about what our family is like and what our daily life looks like. Ellie is not only charming, her skills at reading what the family needs and what the real priorities are in terms of personalities and good foundation for success are spot on. Our Pepe is sharp and quick to learn, he came home with a great deal of discipline and skill (9weeks old and no accidents!) and that’s only to Ellie and Mays credit and efforts getting him socialized and potty trained. If you have kids I highly recommend quizzing them on Ellie and May’s Puppy Packet! Pepe has followed the commands they used during their training and he is getting the same instructions from everyone at the house making it a smooth transition into our home, even at such a busy time as the holidays.
