Meet the breeder

I'm Tara S., the breeder behind Wv Diva Doodles located in Petersburg, WV. We are passionate Goldendoodle breeders specializing in medium F1BB Goldendoodles. Our mission is to raise exceptional family companions with a strong foundation in health, temperament, and early development. Each of our puppies is raised with hands-on care from birth, ensuring they are well-socialized, confident, and ready to thrive in their new homes. We utilize Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and Early Scent Introduction (ESI) to promote long-term cognitive and emotional resilience—techniques that have proven to make a lasting difference in puppy development. We proudly raise CKC-registered Goldendoodles, a mark of our commitment to transparent, responsible breeding practices. Our dogs are family, and every puppy is nurtured in our home—not in a kennel—so they are used to everyday household sights, sounds, and routines. If you’re looking for a well-loved, well-prepared Goldendoodle with a great start in life, you’ve found the right place.
