I focus on healthy, beautiful, one-of-a-kind companions for lifelong love.

My experience with Kristel and Diamond Doodle Pups was amazingly smooth! Communication was prompt and she thoroughly answered any questions I had. She was also great at following up to check on my pup during our transition home.

Adopting our puppy from Kristel was a great experience! She made it so easy by FaceTiming and answering any questions we had through the app. She was always quick to respond, and made it easy when we changed our mind about which puppy we wanted. Asher is a cutie, and it’s obvious that he was well cared for as a baby. We’re so excited to see him grow up with our daughter!

Working with Kristel was so easy. She answered emails right away. All my questions were answered without hesitation. Everything Kristel told us about Poppy were spot on. We live five hours from her so she was very willing to meet us half way. We talk about once a day which has been nice. We got Poppy as a playmate for our other doodle. Kristel has been interested in the transition. I got a new puppy and a new friend!

We adopted our sweet Maggie from Kristel and she is the BEST!! Maybe the cutest puppy I’ve ever seen, and so well socialized and trained. She’s a delight and already a fifth member of the family. Kristel was always so responsive to my questions and we FaceTimed with Maggie while we were still making up our mind. Maggie is a real snuggle bug and has just enough playfulness to keep the kids on their toes!
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.
