I'm Cindy O., the breeder behind Dare to Doodle located in Flippin, AR. We strive to raise happy, healthy, well-socialized puppies that are raised in our home at affordable prices. We are dedicated to finding the perfect family to place our puppies with for lots of love.
Q. & A. with Cindy
Why did you start breeding?
It was a gradual process. After the first litter or two, I noticed how much I enjoyed spending time with the puppies and teaching them. My son was having health issues and working with the dogs and puppies really helped him.
What makes your program special?
While our puppies are raised inside, we also give them playtime outside and expose them to all kinds of daily noises. We do not work outside the home so our days are spent with our puppies. We also use Puppy Culture and BAB on our puppies and have started on litter box training. Our goal is for our clients to take home a well adjusted loving puppy.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are mini size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include merle, black and white, brown and white, brown and tan, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
