Meet the breeder

I'm Daniel M., the breeder behind Well Rooted Doodles located in Vallejo, CA. At Well Rooted Doodles, we take our responsibilities very seriously and strive to ensure top quality health, safety and well-being of all our puppies.

Q. & A. with Daniel

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Breeding has always been a part of my life. It’s something I grew up around and have done for as long as I can remember. You could say it’s a bit of a family business. Over the years, I’ve seen how much intention, care, and love go into raising healthy, well-balanced dogs, and that’s what inspired me to keep it going. Now, I get to do what I love every day.

  • What makes your program special?

    We’re a small home-based breeder raising puppies right inside our home, surrounded by love, family, and daily life. Each puppy is introduced to children, household sounds, and routines, and begins early training-ENS, ESI, and pine-pellet potty work- to help them grow into confident, well-adjusted companions ready for family life.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
