About the Breeder
Meet Cindy
Located in Temecula, CA (Southern California), Miss Cindy’s Doodles proudly holds GANA™ Gold Level Breeder status and specializes in multigenerational Petite Goldendoodles, with anticipated adult weights of 10–20 pounds.
I’m Cindy, the breeder behind Miss Cindy’s Doodles, and how I came to breed these wonderful little companions is a personal story.
I’ve always loved dogs and enjoyed having a house full of them. For many years, my four Dachshund-Pomeranian mixes gave me just that. But during their later years, I began to suffer from allergies. When the last of my four sweet babies passed away in 2018, I missed them terribly and was sad to think that I might no longer be able to have a house full of dogs.
That same year, a dear friend in Utah began breeding multigenerational Goldendoodles because of her own family’s allergies and their love for dogs. After doing extensive research, I decided to bring home a puppy from one of her upcoming litters.
That puppy was Izabella, and she changed my life. I was able to enjoy having a dog in my home again, and my love for Goldendoodles grew from there. While every person’s allergies are different, my experience with Izabella opened a door I had thought might be closed.
Why Petite Goldendoodles
I had always loved smaller companion dogs, so focusing on Petite Goldendoodles felt natural to me. Their small size and affectionate personalities were a wonderful fit for our family. I wanted to give other families the opportunity to enjoy the companionship that had meant so much to us.
Izabella became our foundation dog and gave us four beautiful litters. Her son, Bentley, now carries on her line as our stud. After adding two more girls to my family and breeding program, my home is once again filled with dogs, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Thoughtful Breeding & Attentive Care
Breeding these wonderful companions is a privilege and a responsibility that I take seriously. That responsibility begins well before a litter is on the way. I carefully consider health testing, temperament, structure, size, coat traits, and genetic compatibility when planning each pairing. Every litter should have a purpose beyond producing puppies. For me, that means building on the strengths of my dogs and contributing to a healthy future for Petite Goldendoodles.
My dogs are first and foremost members of my family. Their health and happiness guide my decisions about whether and when to breed them. Caring for a mother means preparing her for a healthy pregnancy, supporting her through delivery and nursing, and making sure she has the time and care she needs to recover. Her well-being is always a priority.
Caring for Mothers & Newborns
As an R.N. with a background in neonatal intensive care and advanced life support, I know how much careful preparation, close observation, and prompt attention can matter for mothers and newborns. I bring that same attention to caring for my dogs, working with my veterinarians throughout the breeding process. Caring for each mother before and throughout pregnancy, and for her and her newborn puppies after birth, is one of my highest priorities.
I pay close attention to each mother’s nutrition, comfort, and recovery, and to each puppy’s warmth, nursing, weight gain, and development. Those first days and weeks require frequent observation and hands-on care. Knowing what is normal for each mother and puppy helps me recognize when something needs attention.
All of my puppies are born and raised in my home. Their needs for nourishment, warmth, rest, and security come first. As they develop, I incorporate Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), Early Scent Introduction (ESI), and age-appropriate activities from Puppy Culture and Badass Breeder (BAB) programs. Along with gentle handling and everyday family life, these experiences help prepare them for life with their new families.
A Continuing Commitment
To me, ethical breeding also means being open and honest with families, helping each puppy find a suitable match, continuing my own education, and being available long after go-home day. I want my puppy families to feel comfortable reaching out with questions, sharing milestones, or asking for help. My commitment to these puppies does not end when they leave my home.
What began as a wish to have dogs in my life again has become the privilege of raising companions for other families.
