Meet the breeder
I'm Rochelle C., the breeder behind Cooley's Cuddle Pups located in Carthage, MO. I want to provide top-quality beloved companions. I have committed myself towards preparing each one of my puppies to thrive in their new homes, and I enjoy working with their new families so that they can raise their new furbaby with confidence. My dogs live in the house with me. They are all extremely socialized and very loved. Some people ask how and why do I give so much stuff with my puppies. Or they think that it's too good to be true. I give so much stuff with the puppies so that even though they are going to a new environment they have some things that they're familiar with. I do believe that this causes less stress on the puppies. Having that scented blanket is a great comfort to puppies. I care about my dogs and their babies as if they were my children and my grandchildren. All of my dogs are DNA Health screenings for genetic defects. They have also completed all of OFA certifications and are C.H.I.C certified, to make sure that they are clear of any Musculoskeletal and Cardiac defects Included with your puppy; Kennel crate, Blanket, Micro-chipped, UTD on shots dewormed and record of shots/dewormed date, 2-3 toys, Harness and leash, Toothbrush for your puppy, Puppy food starter kit, Stainless Steel food and water bowl, Potty pad trained Very loved & social that was raised indoors.
Q. & A. with Rochelle
Why did you start breeding?
I saw how special my little girl made me feel and I wanted to share that same feeling with others. Nothing like having a bad day and having those big brown eyes looking up at you with that tail wagging to make everything all better.What makes your program special?
My dogs are in my home where they get daily love and attention. They are treated like part of the family not like something that is just around to have puppies. I do a video call with a prospective new puppy owner so that they can see the puppies. I will send weekly pics/videos of a person's new fur baby so that they can be part of their puppies growing up till they can get their puppy. I am also in the process of getting all of my breeding dogs OFA tested and Chic certified.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Bichon Frise puppies are white. Maltese puppies include white, white and tan, and white and lemon. Maltipoo puppies include apricot, cream, and white. Miniature Schnauzer puppies include wheaten, liver, salt and pepper, and black and silver. Shih Tzu puppies include cream and white, sable and white, black, gold and white, liver and white, brindle and white, blue and white, black gold and white, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Kandy
Kandy is a very sweet and gentle little girl that weighs 5lbs. She is all white with a beautiful, thick coat. Before I got Kandy, she had either someone cut 1/2 her ear of while grooming or something. Looks like it was a clean-cut injury. She is great at grooming her till you get near her one ear. I have now gotten her to be calm and allow for that ear and her head to be groomed. Just a lot of love and reassurance it what my baby needs. She is such a sweet little girl who needed the love she gets from me.

+4Rochelle was very responsible very knowledgeable, always available for questions and or pictures and videos. She explained everything to us even the things that we didn't ask she explained. She is a very caring person and if I had to get another puppy it would definitely be from Rochelle Cooley's cuddly pups. We absolutely love our Shih Tzu. we named him Chase he is very lively he loves to play and he just turned 3 months old. Oh and Rochelle has a beautiful attitude very wonderful. She loves her pups she loves her babies..... By the time we finished and picked Chase up we felt like family.

Rochelle was fantastic ! From the 1st message, until pick up she kept me informed and told me all about Arlo. This lady really loves her hounds. We met at a location where I got to pick up Arlo, and she had a bag full of goodies for me and Arlo to take home. Arlo was handed off to me with all of his paper work that she explained to me in detail....This is the 1st time I have ever dealt with a breeder and I couldn't be more pleased.

Bringing Pumpkin into our family was a great experience thanks to Rochelle. She was not only responsive but has been a tremendous support in making sure Pumpkin’s transition is as seamless as possible and successful.

We absolutely love our Coco and couldn’t be happier with her! Good Dog connected us with reputable, trustworthy breeders and gave us a great selection to choose from. After reviewing our options, we reached out to Rochelle, who responded quickly. We were able to FaceTime to discuss her puppies and share what we were looking for, and she offered wonderful guidance along the way. When we picked Coco up at 11 weeks, we were amazed that she was already pee-pad trained—such an incredible bonus! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
