  • Certified Good Dog Breeder

Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Desert Doods located in Glendale, AZ. All parents in our program are health, genetic, and temperament tested. We also do various activities with the puppies, such as ENS, ESI, and crate exposure, to help your dog live its best life. Puppies are born and taken care of inside our home and are surrounded by children.

Natalie’s experience

  • What makes Natalie’s program special

    We strive for quality over quantity. We do health and temperament tests. If a parent does not pass a health test, they become a loved pet instead of a parent in our program. We work on ENS, crate exposure, noise exposure, socialization, and more to help create quality puppies.

More about Natalie

  • Why Natalie started breeding

    From the time I was a litter girl, I had a passion for dogs.

She taught me the importance of health and temperament testing and now that she is retired I am carrying on the legacy.
