Meet the breeder

I'm Janice D., the breeder behind Dillon Doodles located in Vacaville, CA. We produce high quality Goldendoodle puppies that excel in temperament, socialization, optimal health and conformation. We believe it's important that each puppy learn that humans are safe, by treating each puppy with love and respect, while empowering them to approach new things and people with confidence. Each puppy will be matched with the optimal family and lifestyle for the puppy to reach its full potential.

Q. & A. with Janice

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We have been breeding for 5 years. We purchased a bernadoodle 6 years ago. We didn’t know the right questions to ask and purchased from a backyard breeder. We love our doodle so much and we’re devastated to find out at a young age he had IVDD. As a nurse I looked into the DNA and became fascinated with doodle DNA. I realized that by ensuring healthy dogs it would eliminate potential health issues.

  • What makes your program special?

    I specialize in color matching. With a degree in science I am able to understand the complex DNA structures to produce high quality doodles. We believe in preventative care and I pass on my knowledge to my clients. Each client receives a puppy 101 class, grooming class and training manual. On top of that we provide life time support for your puppy.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Goldendoodle puppies include miniature and medium sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Goldendoodle puppies include cream, apricot, red, black, phantom, merle, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    We had a wonderful experience with Dillon Doodles! Janice and Shannon were incredibly welcoming and clearly have a genuine love for their dogs. As first-time dog owners, we really appreciated how thorough and informative they were—they made sure we felt confident and prepared every step of the way. You can tell they truly care about their puppies and the families they go to. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a responsible and caring breeder!

    The Dillon Doodle Team was so knowledgeable and helpful with helping get our golden doodle situated. Our doodle Daisy is so sweet and we love her. Definitely recommend Dillon’s Doodles.

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.
