Meet the breeder

I'm Dana S., the breeder behind Simply Dane Doodles located in Humble, TX. We raise happy, healthy, well-socialized puppies. We carefully select breeding pairs for health, temperament, and personality. Our puppies receive comprehensive care including BAB curriculum, ENS, ESI, vet checks, and vaccinations. We match each puppy with their perfect forever home.

Q. & A. with Dana

  • Why did you start breeding?

    After getting my first Goldendoodle in 2016, I was heartbroken that some breeders gave them a bad reputation. I researched extensively to understand what was needed to improve breed standards and prove that Goldendoodles could positively impact lives the way mine did for me. I committed to doing it the right way with health testing, proper socialization, and ethical practices.
  • What makes your program special?

    We're committed to raising exceptional puppies through early development protocols, genetic health testing, ENS, and ESI. Each puppy receives individualized socialization, crate training, and extensive exposure work to build confidence and resilience.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies include miniature and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include cream, apricot, red, black, and merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    I had such an amazing experience with Dana! The process of getting my new puppy love was seamless and pleasant. Dana made it easy and provided lots of information for a smooth transition of bringing her home. Upon arrival, I received a take home packet and super sweet puppy goodie bag. She even started puppy pad training which has been going great. Thank you for blessing us with such a bright little ray of sunshine! We all love her so much!

    Dana was so great and easy to work with! We were new to the breed and she answered all of our questions thoughtfully and responded so quick. She made the process easy and we could tell she was very experienced. I had told her what we were looking for and she found the right puppy for us! We can tell that our puppy had already been exposed to many things and she had already started training her. Our puppy picked up on new tricks and training so fast. When we picked her up, Dana provided us with a very helpful pickup packet of information and walked us through everything. She also provided food, toys and some other fun goodies to take home! We are so happy with our dog and know that a lot of that comes from Dana and how well the puppies were taken care of!
