Meet the breeder
I'm Cecil L., the breeder behind Darling Doodles located in Umatilla, FL. Our goal is to raise healthy, happy, smart and adorable doodles from our home to yours.
Q. & A. with Cecil
Why did you start breeding?
We really enjoyed our babies Beau and Bailey so much we wanted to share the love and joy with our friends and family.What makes your program special?
Our program is special because all of our puppies are apart of our family until then join yours. We socialize our puppies with people (family and friends). We utilize play time outside and we do water time with a baby pool when they become mobile and age appropriate. Between my husband and myself and our 4 kids there’s never a moment the pups are not getting attention unless they are sleeping.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include apricot and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Cecil was kind, patient, and easy to work with from our first message to pickup. She kept us in the loop with quick replies, photos, and simple next steps. Our puppy came home healthy, clean, and so well trained! We are so lucky to have found Cecil on good dog! Truly a wonderful breeder for our new puppy!
