Meet the breeder

I'm Angelique M., the breeder behind Gentle Paw Goldendoodles 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?

    Poodle puppies are moyen size. Goldendoodle puppies are medium size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

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

    Poodle puppies are parti. Goldendoodle puppies include apricot, chocolate, black, phantom, merle, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Angelique was amazing to work with! She was very responsive throughout the entire process. Upon completion of the application, Angelique immediately called me to begin the process. The experience was smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Angelique to anyone. They worked with me to determine a safe location to pick up our puppy.

    Angelique was wonderful to work with , from the first initial FaceTime call to have a sneak peek of the puppies, all the way up to meeting her husband for the pickup of our sweet puppy. I reached out to her a couple times before our delivery date asking for pictures and she sent a video along with a picture. She was very professional to work with and you can tell she loves her fur babies. If you’re looking for a doodle, look no further than Angelique.

    Angelique was very responsive and helpful throughout the process. Being able to meet the puppy beforehand was super important to make sure he was a good fit for us. You could tell the care and handling of their puppies was exceptional and they cared so much to find good homes for each of the puppies. I highly recommend this breeder. We could not be happier with the puppy we took home.

    Angelique was great. She worked with the puppies so they are socialized, nearly potty trained, and real snuggly. She told me about their personalities so I knew I made the correct choice. My little girl is perfect. Just what I needed.
