Meet the breeder
I'm Dez, the breeder behind Puppy PlayPen located in Raymondville, MO. All of our dogs are loved as family members. We cherish our puppies from birth up until they leave our arms to snuggle into yours! We raise our dogs in our home right alongside our family. We love being able to match our puppies with families that are the perfect fit for their personalities.
Q. & A. with Dez
Why did you start breeding?
I’ve been around hobby breeding my whole life. My mother raised Yorkies and Bichons, my grandmother raised Yorkies, and my aunt raised Shar Peis and Labs. I have a great love for dogs and a great knowledge (and application) of ethical breeding. Initially I did extensive research into dozens of breeds to find the breed that resonated with me the most. My Cavs are like my kids!What makes your program special?
My breeding program is special because of the time I dedicate to my dogs. All my puppies typically know the sit command by 8 weeks old and are started on basic command training by 7 weeks old. They also are started on (crate) potty training by week 6.5 and I’ve had many past customers say they’ve had almost no potty accidents from their pets when taking them home around 9 weeks old.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blenheim and tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Cardiac Evaluation (rDVM, not registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

Dez is a fantastic breeder! She was responsive to my messages and (many) questions. Our sweet girl arrived already so well-trained and no behavioral issues! No accidents in the house, knew the sit command, and slept through the nights with zero issues. We highly recommend Dez!

+8Working with Dez was a dream! We had been patient finding a great breeder for 3 years until we found puppy playpen. Dez quickly answered every question we had, sent (many) update photos through the process, provided all of the medical records and left us with fantastic tips for getting our sweet Bella acclimated. She truly went above and beyond. Bella is healthy, smart, goofy and overall perfect! We love her so much, it was well worth the wait.

Once we established the level of contact I needed to feel comfortable with buying a puppy on the Internet we did terrific. Harry's exchange went fantastic and she has been very responsive when I share pictures and milestones about him with her. I would highly recommend buying a puppy from her!

Dez was so amazing to work with. We have had Minnie just a week now and are enjoying her so much! Dez was so responsive, we haven’t had a dog for about 6 years and had a lot of questions about Cavaliers and how to train her and supplies we needed…Dez was very quick to get back and answer questions and kept us so updated on Minnie’s growth! Minnie was a Christmas present to my wife(and me) and Dez made a special video that I could share when I gave her the present! I would very much recommend her services and if I want another Cavalier I’ll be calling her!

+4Des was so helpful as we looked to find the perfect dog. River is not only adorable, he is smart, well behaved, and so loving. Des helped with transportation and all River’s medical needs and Good Dog made it easy and safe. I had almost been pulled in by a scam artist so I greatly appreciated their transparency and trustworthy financial handling.
