Meet the breeder

I'm Terry L., the breeder behind Doodles In Paradise located in Fort Worth, TX. Doodles In Paradise was founded in 2012 from a family passion for doodles and service dogs. We ethically breed exceptional, genetically-tested doodles raised in loving guardian homes, selecting for calm, confident temperaments for family and service.

Q. & A. with Terry

Why did you start breeding?
We started breeding in 2012 because my nephew with autism needed service support. Seeing how a calm, intuitive dog brought him comfort inspired my daughter and I to create Doodles In Paradise. We ethically breed genetically-tested doodles in loving guardian homes, selecting for gentle, confident temperaments for family and service.
What makes your program special?
What makes us special is our guardian-home model — our moms live in loving families, not kennels, so pups go from love to love. All adults are genetically tested, and we track temperament to select for calm, intuitive, service-hearted doodles. Family-run since 2012 and inspired by service needs, we breed for health, temperament, and lifelong connection.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include toy and miniature sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
