I'm Jess S., the breeder behind Summer Time Doodles located in Pittsburgh, PA.

It’s a privilege to have the opportunity to make an impact on each individual puppy!
Q. & A. with Jess
Why did you start breeding?
This is my first liter, we got summer over 2 years ago and decided as soon as we saw her personality that we wanted her to have puppies. We will be keeping one of the pups for ourselves.
What makes your program special?
We are not professional breeders, I know this may sound like a negative but why I think it’s important for you to know this is because it means we are actively and personally involved with each one of these puppies. We spend one on one time with each one and they are all loved, cared for, and in our home.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, apricot, red, and chocolate. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
