  • Why did you start breeding?

    I got into breeding about 20 yrs ago. breeding Labrador retrievers. Then I took a job as a Vet Tech it was a dream come true it took up so much of my time I didn't have the time I needed to making my puppies the Best, so I got out of breeding at that time. I'm retired now and have all the time I need to dedicate to making my puppies the best again.

    Moms and Dads are health tested and have the sweetest temperaments and are easily trainable. The puppies are home born and raised, Puppies go through a desensitizing training program from birth till they go home. They are litterbox trained, dog door trained, introduction to potty training, and crate trained all before they leave us. We also introduce basic training skills for you to continue.

    Dan and Nancy were amazing. Not only did they bring us Nellie with extras such as a collar, leash, toys and food. Nellie came with great manners and we could tell she had been worked with as she was almost immediately house broken, and sits on command. (She's now learning to lay, shake, and heal. There is a huge difference when adopting a new member of the family from reputable breeders like Dan and Nancy with DN Poodles and Doodles.

    We adopted Finnley from DN Poodles and Doodles 2 weeks ago. Nancy Welch was really easy to work with and had Finnley well prepared to join our family. She even sent a starter bag of puppy food so we could keep Finnley on a consistent diet. Nancy included very helpful guidance about raising Finnley and she has made herself available for any questions we had about our new puppy. She clearly loves all her pups and wants to ensure that they will be well cared for after being adopted. I highly recommend DN Poodles and Doodles for your new puppy.
