Q. & A. with McKenna

  • Why did you start breeding?

    After graduating from Cal Poly, I followed my greatest passion yet, sweet family friendly doodles! After welcoming my first puppy, I knew my calling was to create these special companions to extend my immense love out to other deserving families. I took animal science classes, worked long hours training horses, learned proper veterinary protocol & then full heartedly chased what I love the most!

    My puppy Mori came home healthy and so sweet!! She adjusted to her new home very quickly and she’s even sleeping peacefully through the night since the first day. She also learned potty training, “sit,” and “wait” within just a few days! She’s such a smart little girl! I moved to the U.S. alone for work this year, and having her with me has made my days so much brighter. She came into my life at the perfect time, and I’m so grateful to McKenna and Doodle Amore for bringing her to me with so much love.

    My experience with Doodle Amore has been truly wonderful. As a first-time dog owner, I spent l hours researching different breeds, breeders, and even considered adopting from a shelter. But the moment I came across McKenna’s profile, I was struck by the genuine love and care she puts into raising her adorable puppies. From day one, McKenna was warm and responsive—always quick to answer my questions and sent me weekly updates that made the wait exciting and reassuring. Her dedication gave me so much peace of mind, and I knew Chloe was in great hands. Thanks to McKenna’s early training and guidance, Chloe has settled in beautifully—crate and potty training have been a breeze. She is so loving and so smart! She’s been friendly around new friends and littles too! I couldn’t be more thankful to McKenna and Doodle Amore for bringing this amazing bundle of joy into my world. ❤️❤️

    We had the most wonderful experience with McKenna and Doodle Amore. What stands out most is McKenna’s true love and care for the puppies she breeds. That is her number one priority and it shows at every step of the way. She is incredibly knowledgeable and responsive. I should know as I asked so many questions and she thoughtfully walked me through the entire process. We would absolutely recommend McKenna to anyone looking for a doddle puppy. We are so in love with ours and if we ever get another in the future, McKenna and Doodle Amore would be the top of my list!

    We had a wonderful experience working with McKenna! She was always responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. Our puppy, Poppy, is the sweetest and most loving dog — a true testament to the care and attention McKenna gives her puppies. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a healthy, well-socialized pup.

    Our experience with McKenna was seamless, and we would recommend her to any family member or friend. She was very responsive and easy to work, and it was this way from my first message to the delivery of our pup and even to check-ins with us and availability to answer any questions as we settle into life with our new addition. She provided thorough and thoughtful responses to all questions throughout the process (and I had many since a first time pup owner!) You can tell she is a genuinely lovely person and truly cares about her pups and the integrity of what she does. Our pup came to us very well socialized and comfortable with people, both adults and kids, as well as other dogs. He has excellent behavior; a sweet, laid-back, and playful disposition; and sleeps through the nigh in his crate no problem (and has since the first night). It is very clear that he was raised with great intention, thoughtfulness, and care.

    I couldn’t be happier with my experience with McKenna as a breeder. She was incredibly responsive, always available to answer questions and offer helpful tips. Our puppy came to us so well-socialized and prepared for her new home. She’s not only healthy but also wonderfully friendly and socialized – a true testament to the care McKenna puts into her puppies. I highly recommend McKenna to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate breeder!
