Meet the breeder

I'm Ashley H., the breeder behind The Good Doodle located in Kempner, TX. The Good Doodle's breeding philosophy focuses first on health, temperament, and trainability; color is always a bonus. Our goal is to create quality Service Dog candidates, wonderful family pets, and excellent companion dogs.

Q. & A. with Ashley

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have always had a love for dogs. I have always enjoyed training them, raising them, and just being in their comforting presence. As a disabled veteran, I found myself in the need of a good service dog. I was astounded at how difficult it was to find a good dog suitable for my needs, raised the way I wanted and needed. I decided to change that and I fell in love with what Doodles gave me.
  • What makes your program special?

    I take care of each of the dogs I use in my program. Each of them must fit into our family, pass health testing, be of sound temperament, have good body structure, and be easily trainable. I do not use any dogs that I would not feel comfortable with around my children or greeting my neighbors at the door.
  • 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 sable, black, black and white, tri-color, and phantom. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
