Q. & A. with Heather
Why did you start breeding?
I began breeding after losing dogs to health and temperament issues. For 20 years, I’ve been committed to raising sound, healthy, well-tempered pups so families never have to face that heartbreak or lose their investment. My goal is to give every home a dog they can trust, love, and rely on for years.”
What makes your program special?
My program stands out for its dedication to producing healthy, even-tempered puppies raised with love, science-based care, and early training. With health-tested parents and proven temperaments, my puppies grow into trustworthy family companions, therapy prospects, and versatile working partners.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are mini size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include merle, lemon and white, apricot, red and white, cream, red, phantom, liver white and tan, liver and white, black white and tan, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Heather was so responsive and knowledgeable about our puppy. You can tell they really care about their dogs. The photos were cute! They stayed in touch and sent me regular with updates about our little girl. Good Dog made the process easy, from the initial connection with Heather to arranging transportation and paying securely. We’re so glad we found Heather through Good Dog, and we couldn't be happier with our little Alice!!

Heather was amazing and so patient with questions to make sure this was the breed that fit what we were looking for. She was also flexible to meet half way at no charge which we really appreciated to ensure we had a full weekend to acclimate "Betsy." Betsy has been a great addition to the family - quickly accepted by our senior dogs and has so much fun with the kids.

Our experience with Heather @ Dakota Springer Doodles was WONDERFUL!! Heather was very accommodating and helpful with getting our new little puppie. He is absolutely the best😊 and so was Heather. We are very happy we decided to get the sproodle breed. We have had him for 6 days now and he is just a smart, lovable little puppy and has adapted great. Marlon & Kay
