MaDoodles
Meet the breeder
I'm Dina A., the breeder behind MaDoodles located in Lenox, MA. We’re a small hobby breeder focusing on raising happy healthy puppies in our home. We are dog lovers through and through! Our pups are such an important part of our lives, and we can’t imagine being without them. It’s an amazing experience as breeders to provide others with puppies that we know will bring them the same joy!
Q. & A. with Dina
Why did you start breeding?
Our lives were always kept super busy raising our 2 sons and we always had at least 2 dogs. Once our boys left home for college the house seemed quiet, so we decided to learn as much as we could about breeding.What makes your program special?
I think we stand out from others as we have a very personal relationship with our families. We invite future owners into our home to meet our family, including our dogs. We have very close communication with our puppy families from pregnancy throughout their puppy’s entire life. We serve as a continuous resource and mentor. We strive to raise healthy puppies with great temperaments and structure.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include 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.
