I'm Dana B., the breeder behind Dolly’s Doods located in Harrisburg, OR. We breed focusing on raising healthy, affectionate, and loyal companions. We health test, raise dogs on therapy dog curriculum, and potty + crate train. As a result of our efforts, we’re positive our puppies will become perfect family members or therapy dogs and add joy to your life!
Q. & A. with Dana
Why did you start breeding?
Dolly, the matriarch of our program, was so special and such an amazing therapy dog, my therapist friends wanted dogs from her. From our first litter, we’ve been thrilled to have almost half of our dogs in service or therapy, with so many more as ESA.
What makes your program special?
Our program is based on the following pillars:
1. Good genetics: extensive health testing
2. Temperament: puppies that calm easily, are ready for cuddles AND adventures. No aggression and quick self-soothing, high distress tolerance
3. Coat: low shed, easy care, single coated dogs, aiming for reds and apricots
4. Raised in home, with love: constantly attended to by kids, adults, and elderly
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are medium size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, apricot, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
