I'm Denise H., the breeder behind This Land Delightful Doodles located in South Jordan, UT. We breed our Petite Doodles for exceptional companion temperament and lifelong health. At 10 to 20 pounds full grown, our Petite Doodles are the perfect size for a house dog who enjoys a variety of indoor and outdoor activities.
Q. & A. with Denise
Why did you start breeding?
I grew up in a dog breeding household, helping to raise my family's Toy breed underfoot. In my teens I started training dogs, and trained professionally for about 10 years. I bred a few litters and then I started having my own babies, so I took a long break, and am now returning to breeding 30 years later.
What makes your program special?
Doodles are my passion project, and with my adult daughters' help I am excited to bring our delightful Doodles into the world and into homes as family companions.
I am a proud member of The Companion Dog Project, a registry built for modern companion dogs and their mission is to support ethical, welfare-driven breeding and to generate real-world data on canine behavior and health. http://www.companiondogproject.org

Our puppies are petite size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red, apricot, cream, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
