Meet the breeder

I'm Melissa L., the breeder behind Safe Havynn Doodles located in Gilbert, AZ. Our parents have been health tested & puppies raised on a couple puppy socialization/temperament training to provide loving, snuggly, friendly puppies to families. When you are approved to adopt a furbaby from us, you become family.

Q. & A. with Melissa

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My daughter has a lot of anxiety and some say may be on the spectrum. Her Bernedoodle Havynn became a best friend, taught her responsibility, and above all provided a loving pup who chooses her first. The relationship gave her a little more comfort and confidence in caring for her Havynn. I knew we wanted to bring this unconditional love to other families... and nothing has brought us more joy.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our mammas live in our home or in guardian homes to ensure they are treated like family. We give our pups the best start to a balanced like in our home. We are very selective in choosing the furever families for our puppies. Once you have joined our Safe Havynn Family you will forever be....

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies include mini, medium, and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

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

    Our puppies include brown, chocolate merle, sable, black, black and white, tri-color, phantom, blue merle, and merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.
