Meet the breeder

I'm Daniele R., the breeder behind True Friend Doodles located in Watertown, NY. Here at True Friend Doodles, we strive to produce puppies that will give you the joy that our dogs have given us. Our dogs are a big part of our family and we can't imagine life without them. Our dogs are all raised in home with lots of love from our family. We focus on health and temperament... a bonus is their adorable looks! We are not a kennel breeder, just a family with a love of doodles. In our experience, doodles are excellent with kids, easy to train and amazing family pets. All of our doodles will have low to no shedding and will be a good option for those with allergies.

Getting a puppy from Daniele

Daniele has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.

After buyers complete the application and screening process, Daniele partners with them to find the best puppy match.

"We can do temperament evaluations if requested however to allow fairness, first come first serve. Meaning the order of placed deposits chooses puppy selection order. And we go in order until each puppy is selected. If someone in the first few spots wants to wait on temperament testing or don’t necessarily care about specific gender and color and want to wait til their older, then we do wait and once they select their puppy choice then we go onto the next in line. However all puppy selections are done by 6 weeks olds. This allows us to have 2 weeks to find any remaining puppies a family to love them too and allows us as breeders to spend much more time caring and training them and adhere puppies more towards your specific schedule if requested. "

    True friend doodles is amazing to work with. Not only did Daniele help me every step of the way after I was scammed out of $400 deposit for a puppy. She worked with me with the deposit and communicated with me every step of the way. She was so caring and understanding with the reluctancy I had Because of being scammed. She rest assured me every step of the way that she’s not out to scam people out of their money and she wants to help. We got our wonderful mini doodle on June 28th. The drive was 5.5 hours coming from Delaware, and it was well worth it. Daniele takes care and loves all her puppies up until they go home. So if you’re in the market for a puppy please reach out to Daniele you won’t be disappointed. Me and my daughter are so happy with our decision to choose True Friend Doodles to get our puppy from.

    Daniele is so wonderful. She quickly replies to messages and the special care of the puppies and training she provides with them prior to going to their forever home is top notch! I’ve had many dogs and our puppy from Daniele is night and day on his first night/first week in his forever home. He was already used to his crate. He is the absolute sweetest pup too. We get so many compliments on how sweet and well natured he is. Thank you for your hard work Daniele!

    We’ve been searching for a puppy to join our family for quite sometime. We found True Friend Doodles on gooddog.com and were so happy we did. We FaceTimed the owner Daniele and she introduced us to Lenny and we fell in love. She was very responsive to all of our questions and continued to update us often on his progress throughout the days with pics and videos on posted on Facebook. Danielle also showed us different ways she has introduced the puppies to different noises, playing with kids, and around her own dogs in the house. She sent DNA testing of mom, dad and even grandma! Lenny is very mild tempered, funny, sweet and part of our family. The 5 hour drive home was well worth it ! We are thankful for finding Daniele and would recommend her as she is a breeder who you can tell truly loves her puppies.
