Q. & A. with Destiny

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My mother in law started raising labradoodles back in 2007 and when my husband and I met in middle school I fell in love with labradoodles! 10 years later after we got married we knew doodles were the only dogs for us. We began researching and working to create our own program. We work closely with amazing groomers, trainers, and quality vets. Our doodles are a family passion.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our dogs are proven to produce therapy and service quality puppies. We have been blessed to be able to help change lives through our dogs. Even our pet puppies are the highest quality. We raise our puppy on a multitude of curriculums to prepare them for their futures such as early scent introduction, early neurological stimulation, puppy culture, and more.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Australian Labradoodle puppies include miniature and medium sizes. Cockapoo puppies are mini size. Labradoodle puppies include miniature, medium, and standard sizes. Goldendoodle 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 Australian Labradoodle puppies include merle, black and chalk, caramel, apricot, cream, chocolate, cafe, lavendar, black, and blue. Cockapoo puppies include buff, cream, and red. Labradoodle puppies include red, apricot, cream, chocolate, cafe, lavendar, black, blue, and silver. Goldendoodle puppies include cream, apricot, red, chocolate, black, and phantom. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

    It was wonderful to work with Destiny, she is extremely knowledgeable and had no issues responding the million questions I had. Gus has been with us since May 9th and he already is our best little buddy. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

    Destiny was amazing to work with for our puppy adoption. She was very responsive and answered all my questions. As a first time puppy owner, her puppy packet is so helpful and informative. Definitely recommend her!

    Getting a Puppy Getting a puppy was one of the most impulsive decisions I’ve ever made—one of those choices that comes straight from the heart before the head has time to catch up. I kept thinking about my kids and how I wanted them to grow up with a dog: a companion to play with, care for, and make memories alongside. What I didn’t expect was how much this little dog would end up being for me, too. From the moment we connected with Dessi’s Doodles, everything felt right. The process was so smooth, so reassuring, and honestly… so much fun. They guided us with kindness, answered every question, and set us up for success long before our puppy ever came home. And then—there he was. Soft, warm, wiggly, and perfect. We still can’t get over his temperament. That was our top priority, and somehow we got a dog who feels like he was handpicked for our family. Sweet, gentle, playful, and eager to love—he fit right into our world as if he’d always been part of it. This little impulsive decision has brought more joy and happiness than we ever expected. Watching the kids laugh, play, and bond with him warms my heart every single day. But quietly, in moments no one else notices, he has healed pieces of me too. His presence is calm. His affection is grounding. And his loyalty feels like the perfect reminder that sometimes the best decisions truly are the spontaneous ones. Our family is fuller, happier, and more connected than ever. And we owe so much of that to Dessi’s Doodles—and to the sweet dog who has already become part of who we are.

    Kevin is doing great! He is sweet and lovable when he is tired, playful and vocal. He loves to chase a ball and tug! He is a chewy monster LoL. He gets a lot of snuggles and loves to be wrapped up and held close at nap time! Didn’t have much luck changing g food over, tried a slow mix and would throw it up so I am sticking to original food for now! He loves to play and chase with the neighbors pups.

    What a fabulous experience!! We were looking for a cockapoo puppy and found the perfect match through Dessie’s Doodles. Destiny is a knowledgeable, kind, and loving dog breeder. She is very personable, welcoming and willing to share her vast knowledge. From puppy selection to payment and pick up, her communication was clear, she posted pictures often and answered any questions we had along the way. Our Espy is the most well-adjusted, happy and fun puppy. At 9 weeks, she is already potty trained as Destiny begins the process before they go to their forever homes. She is well-adjusted, very social and sweet as Destiny works on all of that through her program. I would recommend Destiny and Dessie’s Doodles to anyone interested in the perfect cockapoo.
