Meet the breeder
I'm Andrea H., the breeder behind Howard House of Paws located in Phoenix, AZ. I have experienced the healing and life-changing potential of my dog. I aim to raise confident puppies for homes and service work.
Q. & A. with Andrea
Why did you start breeding?
After a major move, I had a hard time transitioning. I discovered the Mini Goldendoodle breed and fell in love! As my heart healed, I knew her puppies would also comfort others.What makes your program special?
Health testing and temperament is my priority. Puppy curriculum that produces confident puppies with good nerve strength. Puppy evaluations to ensure a great match in a forever home.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are petite size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
