I'm Chris G., the breeder behind Just Loving Doodles located in Riverside, CA. All of our puppies are bred, raised, and loved indoors to produce happy, healthy pets for those seeking the best family companion! We are dedicated to always providing our buyers and our puppies with a positive experience, which includes remaining committed to responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming our puppies. Our pups are exposed to other animals and small children. We start crate training and potty training at home as well as make sure our puppies follow a strict deworming and vaccination schedule.
Q. & A. with Chris
Why did you start breeding?
I've always had rescues (& still do) but having children that struggle with asthma and allergies, we could no longer keep our dogs inside and this was hard for us. I believe that a dog should be a part of the family. With discussion and weighing our options of "allergy-friendly" hounds, my husband and I decided on a Standard Poodle. We also love the idea of doodles and since our poodles are so wonderful, we decided to breed. Frankie has proven to be a great Mama and looking forward to her last litter (she will be retired next year 2025 by 5 years old) and then we plan to breed our Toni-Girl.
What makes your program special?
We raise our babies in our bedroom for the initial two-three weeks and then they get moved to the “play” room downstairs. They get fresh sod brought in for outdoor play and we use puppy litter for potty training while inside. In addition, we have dairy goats which help supplement nutrition while we wean to puppy food ensuring their nutrition is top notch. My puppies do not leave their Mama earlier than 8 weeks and am willing to keep them later as some programs prefer it. I will start training in home with basic commands and introduction to the crate. Additionally, they’ll be exposed to chickens and goats for those wanting an easier transition to a farm lifestyle.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Bernedoodle puppies are medium size. Aussiedoodle puppies include mini and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Aussiedoodle puppies include blue merle and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Chris

Price
Puppy prices include a $500 non-refundable deposit and between $1,000 - $4,000 final payment, before taxes & fees.
Pay over time with Klarna.
“The price includes puppy socialization, first vaccines, and deworming. Because we may have some rare color combinations and markings, we adjust the price accordingly. Deposit holds your puppy until he/she is ready for pick up at 8 weeks. It is non-refundable because I then hault my selling/advertisement efforts since the puppy has been spoken for. If one changes their mind, the deposit is then surrendered to accommodate my potential loss. Older puppies can be more difficult to place.”
Contract & health guarantee
Chris may provide a written contract or
health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps
protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you
both have a clear understanding of the terms of your
puppy purchase. If Chris offers a contract
or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them.

Toni, mom
Poodle
About Toni
Toni is a gorgeous red poodle who is sweet, loving, and our silly sidekick. She’s always ready for an adventure and never lets an opportunity to tilt her head in that funny way pass her by. She’s fun but passive and takes a back seat to our pack. She is gentle with all our critters and is every dog’s (and kid’s) favorite playmate.
Carl, dad
Bernese Mountain Dog
About Carl
Carl is the most handsome and loving Berner. If you’ve ever met a Bernese Mountain Dog, you know they have big personalities and absolutely love to be loved. They are natural guardians (picture a big lug of rescue dog with the whiskey barrel around his neck tracking through the snow). Carl brings a smile to everyone he meets and if he was a human, you’d describe him as the guy who lights up the room with his presence.
Frankie, mom
Poodle
About Frankie
Frankie is my first pure poodle and now I’m a forever fan. She is a great example of the breed with her build and agility but also has great traits that fit our family. She has a need to serve and follow commands, shows eagerness to play or cuddle, has good recall and is trusted by all.
