About Connie
At Adored Poodles & Doodles, we are a devoted and specialized breeding program situated in Tucson, Arizona. The foundation of our program lies in the belief that our dogs are not just pets, they are family. The hallmark of our program is the heartfelt care and affection we pour into each puppy, starting from their birth until the time they leave us. This hands-on interaction is a consistent part of the first crucial 8 weeks of a puppy's life. Our main aim is to raise dogs that are not only healthy but are also affectionate and loyal companions. When you choose a puppy from APD, you can rest assured that they will transition seamlessly into their new homes, becoming a cherished addition to your family.
What makes Connie’s program special
The uniqueness of our dog breeding program lies in our unyielding passion for every dog's health, happiness, and well-being under our supervision. It is our belief that a responsible breeder must attend to their pup's health, happiness, and societal adjustment right from birth, not just producing ones that meet breed standards. To achieve this, we put forth extra effort to identify pairing breeds that not only possess desired physical characteristics but also exhibit temperament and personality traits fitting to be exceptional family pets. Each puppy since birth is given needed attention, equipped with socializing skills and necessary training, aimed at developing them into confident, well-mannered dogs. This method also aids in their better adjustment to different environments. We stand committed to guaranteeing our dogs and their future generations receive top-notch veterinary care, proper nutrition, and adequate exercise for their optimal health and well-being. We trust that through these endeavors, our dog breeding program does not just stand as special, but also sets a standard for excellence.

At the heart of my approach to dog care is a deep understanding of the importance of training and enrichment for the overall well-being and happiness of our furry friends. I believe that dogs thrive when they are given opportunities to learn, explore, and engage with their environment in a positive and rewarding way. To this end, I have developed a comprehensive training and enrichment program that is tailored to the unique needs and personalities of each dog under my care. My training approach is based on positive reinforcement techniques that reward good behavior and encourage dogs to learn new skills and behaviors in a safe and supportive environment. I work closely with each dog to develop a customized training plan that takes into account their individual needs and goals, and I use a variety of techniques and tools to help them achieve success. From basic obedience training to more advanced skills such as agility and scent work, I am committed to helping each dog reach their full potential. In addition to training, I also prioritize enrichment activities that help dogs stay mentally and physically stimulated. This includes activities such as puzzle games, interactive toys, and socialization opportunities with other dogs and people. I believe that providing dogs with a rich and varied environment not only helps prevent boredom and destructive behavior, but also promotes overall health and well-being. Through my training and enrichment program, I am dedicated to helping each dog under my care lead a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life. . I utilize the following enrichment methods: Socialized with other animals, Introduced to people of different ages and appearances, Socialized with other dogs, Daily handling, Scent introduction, Surface & tactile stimulation, Socialized in new places, Socialized with children, Car rides, Various sounds, early scent stimulation from days 3-16, Temperament imprinting Evaluation , crate training, Puppy Culture , Various Surfaces , Scents, Noise desensitized , Early Neurological Stimulation, Noises , Toys, e.g. Ball, Touch Desensitization, Grooming Desensitization, Household Desensitization, Socialized with Elderly, Sound Stimulation, Socialized with Adult Dogs, Socialized with Children, Early socialization, Car Training , Scent Introduction, Noise desensitization, Doggy door training , Potty training, crate training, Human Interactions , Puppy Manners, Puppy Culture , Name recognition , Crate Training, Sit Command, Clicker Training, "No" Biting or Chewing, and Potty Training.

Why Connie started breeding
Life-long Passion for Dogs Ever since I can remember, I've had a strong affinity to animals, dogs in particular. The broad range of characteristics and behaviors of different dog breeds captivated me; each possessing a unique set of attributes cherished by their owners. The singular physical elements, coupled with inborn instincts and patterns, gave each breed an exclusive aura of uniqueness. This has led to my life-long dream - to be a dog breeder. My aspiration is to breed puppies that reflect the finest traits of their breed — robust, well-adjusted dogs. I feel this adds significant value and joy to several families, offering them a cherished family member in their new pet. I understand dog breeding is a matter of great responsibility and care. Hence, I intend on being zealous in the selection of breeding pairs. Likewise, I aim to offer exceptional attention to the health and welfare of my dogs and their puppies. Through such conscientious methods, I believe I can contribute positively to the field of dog breeding. I aspire to bring joy to families near and far, by welcoming new, loving furry additions to their homes.
