Q. & A. with Lauren

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Breeding our female Esther was a huge decision for our family. When we were choosing a puppy to breed we went to great lengths to find the healthiest, happiest, and smartest puppy we could find to ensure that when she grew up the puppies she delivers and we offer to loving homes would be top notch and well balanced family companions. We are so excited to offer quality puppies to great families!

  • What makes your program special?

    Our breeding program is special because it’s small. We only have 1 female in our breeding program, who is our personal family pet, and have no interest in getting bigger. We know how much effort goes into raising quality puppies and keeping things small for us ensures that Esther and her litters get top notch attention and care. Their every need is happily met!

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

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

    Our puppies are red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Lauren has done an incredible dog with her puppies. It’s so clear how loved Ruby was and how she was truly part of the family before she became our family. We have 4 small children and she is wonderful with them. When I spoke to Lauren on the phone for the first time I knew immediately that this was the person I wanted to be responsible for our future puppy. She is so intentional with the things she does with the puppies to get them ready to be amazing family dogs. Ruby truly is the sweetest and most wonderful addition to our family, and I know that is because of Lauren! From night one she has been comfortable in her crate, and almost fully potty trained - which were things that we were not expecting but so thrilled with!

    This is our third purchase of a doodle, but our first from Lauren’s Doodle Darlings and using Gooddog. I have lots of purchasing experience's to compare. Using the Gooddog site gives the buyer and seller a sense of protection. We did have some confusion with fees that we wanted to opt out of. Lauren took it upon herself to address this issue and Gooddog honored our wishes and refunded the fees very quickly. It was a very easy and fair way to be put on a reservation list to pick out our doodle. Lauren is an amazing breeder. She went above and beyond anything we have ever experienced with purchasing our new pet, Gus. She kept us informed on how Gus was doing from the moment we chose him until the day we picked him up. We felt a real connection with her from the minute we met her and we will always keep her informed as to how his is doing. We took Gus to his first Vet appointment and our Vet said he is in excellent health. We are grateful for Lauren’s hard work in making Gus and the rest of the litter the healthiest and best doodles she could to deliver to all her customers. I highly recommend Lauren and Gooddog if you are looking for a forever fur baby!

    I recently purchased a puppy, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision! From the moment I contacted Lauren, I knew I was in good hands. She was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the entire process. The puppy is not only adorable but also remarkably easy to train and well behaved. It’s clear that Lauren has put in a lot of effort into socializing and preparing the pups for their new homes. My new furry friend has quickly picked up commands and is already fitting into our family perfectly. He’s the puzzle piece that we didn’t know our family was missing! I highly recommend Lauren if you’re looking to add a new puppy to your home. Her dedication to the puppies and her genuine care for her customers truly sets her apart. Thank you, Lauren, for making this experience so enjoyable!

    We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Lauren at Doodle Darlings! From the very start, Lauren was incredibly sweet, friendly, very knowledgeable and made the entire process smooth and enjoyable! We’re absolutely in love with our new furever family member, Birdie! At just 8 weeks old, she’s already so social and has been wonderful with our toddler—she’s smart and sweet! Choosing Doodle Darlings was the best decision we could have made! Unlike other breeders we spoke to, Lauren and her family were patient, kind, and never pushy. Lauren is very responsive and we could tell from the beginning, she truly loves all the puppies! I HIGHLY recommend Doodle Darlings to anyone looking for a new furry friend!
