Hello
We are Greg and Sheri Bell. During our 40 years of marriage, we have always had dogs! In fact Greg's gift to me for our first anniversary was a rescued Border Collie named Alpha. His name was a nod to 'the first' of many dogs to come--and there have been many! We had no idea! In 2007 we had a litter of puppies with our first purebred dog, a Golden Retriever named Pumpkin. I fell in love with the process of breeding dogs and raising puppies. Over the years breeding has become a continuous part of our family life. Our home, featuring a spacious yard and ample indoor space, allows us to keep our dogs indoors with us as an integral part of our family.
Our Program
Purchasing a My Little Doodle puppy means that your new family member is the best of the best! We are a member of GANA, the Goldendoodle Association of North America. GANA requires member breeders adhere to a specific set of standards, such as requiring a 2-year genetic health guarantee and fully health testing all breeding dogs. As a Blue Ribbon breeder, you can be confident that all dams and sires are fully health tested for a variety of genetic and physical diseases. We are also recognized as a Preferred Breeder by Good Dog. Our sires and dams are chosen based on their excellent dispositions and health testing results. Sometimes, we work with fellow Goldendoodle breeders to utilize other highly qualified studs to improve the genetic diversity in the puppies we produce.
Our dams received high quality food and care prior to, during, and after their pregnancies. All puppies are raised within our home as a part of our family. They receive age-appropriate stimulation and enrichment as they grow. They receive all appropriate veterinary care including first round of shots, deworming and comprehensive health clearances before they go home. This all means that your new puppy has the best possible start in life!
Please review our contract which includes a 2-year genetic health guarantee, and a spay/neuter clause.

Reservation Process
The reservation process starts with a phone interview. This allows both of us to determine if one of our puppies is going to be a good fit for your family. This allows time for questions and the opportunity to learn about you, your family, and your needs. This will be the first of many conversations between us as I encourage my families to keep in touch and reach out at any point in your dog’s life with any questions or concerns.
The next step is to review and complete our contract and send your non-refundable deposit. Once these steps are complete, you will be placed on the list for the litter of your choice.
When the puppies are 5-6 weeks old, families come to our home (either in person or virtually) to select their puppy. Families are scheduled in the order in which deposits and contracts are received. At this point we will review the temperament testing of each puppy. We will discuss supplies you will need for puppy raising, recommended food, and safety measures you need to implement for when puppy comes home. We will also schedule a time for you to pick up your new puppy at 8 weeks old.
When puppies are 8 weeks old, they are ready to go home! Final payments must be made at pick up.
We accept: Cash, Zelle, Venmo or credit card (via Good Dog). Note: I do not accept checks or money orders.
