I'm Lourdes R., the breeder behind Esperanza Doodles located in Shasta County, CA. I raise adorable, affectionate Doodle puppies for loving homes. I'm passionate about these dogs and want only the best for them! I am a small-scale breeder, allowing me to give each of my puppies, dogs, and breedings the proper care and attention they each deserve. I am dedicated to providing happy, healthy, and well-socialized pups for others to welcome into their family. I love my pups and know you will love them, too!
Q. & A. with Lourdes
Why did you start breeding?
The fulfillment of seeing new puppies born, watching them grow, and helping shape them and train them in preparation for their new forever homes is the most rewarding experience ever! Seeing each of my puppies' families experience the same level of joy that my dogs bring me is an amazing experience.
What makes your program special?
My dogs are an integral part of my family and daily life. This creates the ideal environment for puppies. From birth, they grow in a secure, loving environment where they know that they matter to their family -- that they have a purpose.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
