Meet the breeder

I'm Heartfelt D., the breeder behind Heartfelt Doodles located in Taylorsville, NC. We raise our pups to be lifelong pawtners for families that want to give our dogs a wonderful life. We raise our puppies with ENS and socialization to prepare them as much as we can for the outside world before they leave our home.

Q. & A. with Heartfelt

  • Why did you start breeding?

    What started out with a single golden retriever has blossomed into a beautiful family of dogs and puppies over 7 years. Dogs have always been a constant in my life, so when we met our perfect golden retriever, I wanted to be able to provide other families with the joy of a dog.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our dogs are pets first, which adds extra elements of family and love to our program. We use Early Neurological Stimulation along with a socialization program to prepare our pups for the outside world as much as we can before they leave our home. We begin crate &potty training, which sets up the perfect introduction for families preparing for the "puppy stage." We also begin grooming practices!

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies include petite, miniature, medium, and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

    We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience working with Heartfelt Doodles! From the very first inquiry, Jen was absolutely fantastic to work with. She was incredibly responsive, patient, and took the time to address all of our questions, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. We recently brought home our Goldendoodle puppy, Kobe, and he has been an absolute dream. He has the most playful, sweet, and gentle temperament, which is a true testament to the love and care he received right from the start. He adjusted to our home quickly, and it’s clear that he was well cared for and thoughtfully raised before coming home with us. Jen was honest, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. We’re incredibly grateful for our experience and, most importantly, for the new addition to our family. If you’re considering a puppy from Heartfelt Doodles, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend working with Jen!
