Meet the breeder

I'm Sylvia Y., the breeder behind Odyssey Pups located in Somerset, OH. Our puppies are hand whelped and family raised from day one. Each puppy is vet checked, vaccinated and dewormed prior to leaving for new homes. Focusing on socialization, with a variety of different surfaces and experiences to assure easy transition from our home to yours.

Q. & A. with Sylvia

  • Why did you start breeding?

    For almost 3 decades I was a caregiver to my mother who suffered from MS. After she passed away and my children were half grown, I found I had time to pursue my dream of raising puppies. I soon realized this was an ideal project for myself and my children. What better to do with my spare time than sharing the love of our four legged companions with other families?

  • What makes your program special?

    With owning only a few adult dogs, I am able to devote attention to each dog individually. Our puppies receive hands on care from birth to the time they leave at 8 wks old. We also litter box train to make house training easier for you. I believe healthy, happy mamas produce healthy, happy babies. I do my own grooming and enjoy potty training puppies. I am happy to share tips with new puppy owners

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

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

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

    Our Poodle puppies include apricot and red. Goldendoodle puppies include apricot and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

    Could not be happier with my experience and my new puppy. She is a happy healthy beautiful little girl. She is a quick learner with a lot of spunk and spirit. Sylvia was a pleasure to deal with. She was very accommodating and prompt to respond. She is a very genuine puppy Mama.

    Sylvia was a wonderful breeder to work with. She was very responsive to messages and sent many updated pictures of my puppy, Henry, as he got older. I felt like I could watch him grow from a newborn to 8 weeks old when we picked him up. She helped me pick the right puppy based on what I was looking for for my family. She raises her puppies in her home (which is so clean) with love and care. We were able to see Henry’s parents on site. She was very welcoming of my family into her home when we picked him up and made the whole process of picking Henry out to bringing him home so easy. I would definitely use her as a breeder again in the future.

    Sylvia was so helpful and was always there to answer any questions we had about our girl Riley. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a new best friend. The Selick Family

    I don’t even have words good enough to tell you how fantastic Sylvia made this entire experience. After long and disappointing research for a reputable breeder I was blessed to find Sylvia and I will admit I thought she was too good to be true! She answered every one of my 13,447 questions and continues to reach out. Atticus and his siblings were raised like Sylvia’s own babies and it is obvious bc that love shines through in Atticus. He’s well socialized and wants to greet anyone within a 20’ radius. Sylvia posted updates on a regular basis and responded to me usually within 15 minutes. She even sent Atticus home w a cute little basket of goodies of which he likes the basket itself most! Potty training is fairly easy bc he was already litter box trained so the move outside wasn’t difficult. Of course as the pic shows sometimes we don’t agree on where things should go! We are already talking about Sylvia’s future litters for Atticus’ buddy. We’ve tried to take a good family pic but we can never seem to get him to stay still for more than 5 seconds. However, I will say that it takes a lot for him to get all that energy out so the naps are wonderful- for both of us! Sylvia and the Good Dog platform are both transparent and helpful and we will definitely do it all over again in the future. Thank you Sylvia 🥰
