Meet the breeder

I'm Janine H., the breeder behind Nini's Poodles and Doodles of St. Johns Co. located in St Johns, FL.

Q. & A. with Janine

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I worked for a veterinarian in high school and college. I started breeding my female Golden Retriever with his male. We had 4 litters. I was raising kids 10 and under so I took a break for a while. I returned to breeding with Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Sadly to of my kids are very allergic, which led me to Doodles!

  • What makes your program special?

    I spend a great deal of time and effort to raise each puppy to it's fullest potential while I have them with me. I monitor food sensitivities, expose them to kids, other animals, noises and common stressors. Each puppy is crate trained and housebroken (for the most part). We do obedience training whenever possible.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Goldendoodle puppies are medium size. Poodle puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

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

    Our Goldendoodle puppies include cream, apricot, red, black, phantom, and parti. Poodle puppies include cream, white, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Janine was very responsive and helpful during the whole process of adding Bogey to our family. She was also super accommodating and even offered various meet up locations for pick up. Thankfully we didn’t live far and were able to meet her and Bogey quickly. On top of that, Janine even made sure to pack a goodie bag full of thoughtful items to help Bogey adjust to his new home with us! We love Bogey and he already has made our life more full!

    Bringing Nala home was one of those moments we’ll never forget. She was a total surprise for my daughter, and seeing her face light up made every bit of planning worth it. 🐾💖 Working with our breeder, Janine, made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. From start to finish, she was kind, responsive, and incredibly helpful. The payment process was simple, and she made sure we had everything we needed to confidently start our life with Nala—from information to essentials and guidance. We’re so grateful for such a smooth experience and for the joy this sweet girl has already brought into our home. Our hearts (and house) are officially fuller. 🐶✨

    Working with Janine and Mike was a breeze and a pleasure. Janine is very responsive and helpful. Luckily they were a short distance from me and I was able to meet and pick up my puppy within a day. I also got to meet the remaining pups who were all super adorable. Janine prepared a goodie bag for us to take home with some food and familiar smell toys that helped Teddys transition be more comfortable. He is so loved and is a perfect addition to my family. I am so grateful for this couple and my new little guy.
