Meet the breeder

I'm Angelique W., the breeder behind Gentle Paw Poodles and Doodles located in Surprise, AZ. We raise doodles in our home with love, early socialization, and a focus on health and temperament. With experience in neonatal care and nonprofit service-dog development, we love each puppy from birth. Some may be evaluated for service or support work, while others become wonderful family members.

Q. & A. with Angelique

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My journey into breeding grew from a lifelong love of dogs and a desire to share their joy. I founded Loving Labradoodles for Children and Veterans with Disabilities, where I bred and trained service dogs — an experience that showed me the powerful bond between people and their dogs.
  • What makes your program special?

    What makes Gentle Paws Doodles special is that our puppies are raised inside our home as part of our family, never in kennels. Each litter receives individual attention, early socialization, and loving care. With experience in service dog training and rescue, our program is built on compassion, integrity, and a genuine love for dogs.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Goldendoodle puppies are medium size. Poodle puppies include moyen and standard sizes. Bernedoodle puppies are medium size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Goldendoodle puppies include sable, cream, apricot, red, chocolate, black, phantom, merle, and parti. Poodle puppies include sable, apricot, black, brown, cream, red, parti, and phantom. Bernedoodle puppies include chocolate merle, sable, black and white, tri-color, blue merle, and merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Pay over time with Klarna.

“Veterinary Health Check Vaccinations & Deworming Health Record Starter Puppy Pack Early Socialization Early Training Foundations Lifetime Advice. **Non-Refundable Deposit Policy** A non-refundable deposit is required to reserve a puppy or to secure a place on an upcoming litter. **Pre-Birth Deposits:** A deposit placed prior to the birth of a litter is applied toward a future puppy from that specific litter. This deposit secures your position in the selection order and is not tied to a specific puppy until selections are made. **Post-Birth Deposits:** Once puppies are born and a specific puppy is selected, a deposit is required to reserve that individual puppy. At that time, the puppy will no longer be made available to other potential pet parents. By placing a deposit—whether for a future litter or a specific puppy—you are committing to the purchase. All deposits are non-refundable under any circumstances, including changes in personal situation, timing, or preference. Once a deposit is received, the reserved puppy (or position within a litter) will be held exclusively for you until final payment and pickup or agreed-upon delivery arrangements are completed. We encourage all prospective pet parents to be confident in their decision before placing a deposit. We are happy to answer any questions and provide guidance to ensure you feel comfortable moving forward.”

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We are so happy with our little Bernedoodle girl! She came to us basically potty trained and so well-mannered, which says a lot about the care she received before coming home with us. Working with Angelique was a great experience she was friendly, helpful, and always quick to respond to any questions. We couldn’t be happier with our sweet girl and would absolutely recommend this breeder!

    It went wonderful with Angelique, from the initial video call where we could meet our boy, to picking him up. It was a fantastic experience and Angelique did very well

    Everything went amazing! Angelique answered all the questions I had and sent many pictures, was timely with video calls, gave all the information on the parents, and was so willing to work with me on pickup times! Very happy with my experience and Blitz (formerly known as S’mores) has been the best puppy! Would definitely recommend working with Angelique!

  • Nicole M.

    Verified owner · Aug. 2026

    Angelique was amazing throughout the whole process! She was so kind, responsive, and knowledgeable, and you could tell how much she genuinely cares about her puppies. She kept me updated and made the whole experience feel easy and reassuring. Our puppy is absolutely wonderful, and we couldn’t be happier with him. I would definitely recommend Gentle Paw Goldendoodles to anyone looking for a healthy and happy puppy.

    Charlotte W.

    Verified owner · Aug. 2026

    We were so impressed with Angelique from start to finish. She takes the health and safety of her puppies seriously and worked with us to make sure we found the right fit. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to add a new member to the family.

    Jennifer F.

    Verified owner · Aug. 2026

    Angelique made purchasing our Bernadoodle such a smooth, joyful process. She offered a video chat where we got to ask questions, see our puppy interact with her littermates and the environment they were being raised in. We absolutely love our Stormy and because of all the handling and love she recieved from Angelique and her husband, she is such a sweet affectionate girl.
