I'm the breeder behind Garside Doodles located in Sedona, AZ. I'm committed to providing each of our families with an adorable, well socialized, healthy puppy. All our puppies are raised on Avidog curriculum! We also do extensive health testing on all of our parents to ensure we are doing everything possible to breed healthy puppies!
About Charissa
I am a wife and homeschool mom. I was a vet tech before staying home. I now spend my hours with my son and raising adorable healthy puppies! I continue to educate myself on raising and training puppies. I love raising happy, healthy puppies.
What makes Charissa’s program special
Strong relationship with each of my families through the buying process and beyond. Taking reservations ahead of time allows me to share the experience from birth until the moment they go home with their new families and it really connects us. I have had many comments from my families about how unique and awesome the experience was.
