Q. & A. with Daniel
Why did you start breeding?
When I was young, I asked my parents for a dog, and they told me I had to pay for it myself. I saved up all my money and bought my first dog. While this was going on, I was looking for jobs, and my dad gave me the idea to do something that would help me gain veterinary knowledge. That is how Daniels Doodles was born.
What makes your program special?
This program is focused on family and care. We only have one litter at a time, and I devote my time to caring for them around the clock. These puppies are the most socialized and loved dogs I have ever seen. My dogs have never gotten sick in my care and continue to excel after they go to their forever homes
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Eye Examination (rDVM, not registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Cardiac Evaluation (rDVM, not registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
DNA Disease Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
