Winnie at Haven's Doodles
Meet the breeder
I'm Melissa E., the breeder behind Winnie at Haven's Doodles located in Virginia Beach, VA. We're a small in-home breeder. We focus on one litter at a time. Our goal is to breed sweet puppies and set them up for success. We make sure to take our time and do all the health testing before breeding to ensure we breed only the best puppies. Our pups are born in my living room and will stay there until they go home. They are raised around my kids, and get tons of attention! It's a highlight of our year for sure.
