Meet the breeder

I'm Sandra L., the breeder behind Desert Doodles + Poodles located in Tucson, AZ. We’re proud of the healthy, loving, affectionate and playful puppies we raise for other families to love! Our love for our dogs pushed us to begin breeding. We love to see the results of our efforts in the sweet, happy, and healthy puppies that we’re able to share with others.

Q. & A. with Sandra

  • Why did you start breeding?

    As a little girl I’ve always loved dogs and puppies, and dreamed of being a vet. When our girl Coco had her first litter, I fell in love instantly! they brought us so much joy! watching them grow, playing with them daily, seeing their new achievements, I realized then that this was something I was passionate about and decided to bring the same joy to others through our puppies.
  • What makes your program special?

    We strive to set up each of our puppies up for success. We know how critical the first few weeks of life can be for their development. That's why we try to implement ENS training (Early Neurological Stimulation) and Puppy Culture tactics into our program to raise happy, well-socialized, and non-aggressive puppies for others to adopt into their families.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Goldendoodle puppies are medium size. Poodle puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Goldendoodle puppies include cream, apricot, and chocolate. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
