Meet the breeder

I'm Shelley A., the breeder behind Lala's Polka Dots located in Queen Creek, AZ. Our puppies are raised right in our home as part of our family. They receive daily love, socialization, and hands‑on care from the moment they’re born. Our goal is to raise confident, healthy, well‑adjusted puppies who are ready to thrive in their new homes.

Q. & A. with Shelley

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We started our journey with our sweet Thumper, our beloved dam, who quickly became an essential part of our family. Her gentle, loving nature made us fall completely in love with the breed. Before long, we welcomed Prince, our handsome sire, into our home as well. Their influence is at the heart of our program, and every puppy we raise carries a piece of their gentle spirit.

  • What makes your program special?

    Health and well-being are at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to responsible breeding practices and giving our puppies the best possible start in life—physically, emotionally, and socially. Most importantly, our puppies are deeply loved. They are part of our family long before they become part of yours, and we take pride in matching each one with their forever home!

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

    Our puppies are white and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
