Arizona Goldendoodles
How we became dedicated to the improvement of Goldendoodles.
40 years of experience in breeding dogs has helped us become a quality breeder – we know what to look for in our parent dogs that create high quality puppies.
My name is Maureen Simpson, I am a stay at home mom for my son who is the youngest of six children and a grand mother to five beautiful little girls. We started Arizona Goldendoodles once we learned our son was in need of a service dog for his epilepsy and autism. Unfortunately, seizure alert dogs are in high demand and low supply so we decided to create our own. From there, we saw how great the need was for dogs that have the proper temperament, are genetically sound, and have the ability to pass the rigorous training that’s involved in becoming certified therapy and service dogs. Today, we have provided guide dogs for the blind, diabetic alert, seizure alert, PTSD, autism, and many other service dogs. We have provided therapy dogs for Gabriel’s Angels, Hospice of the Valley, and numerous law enforcement agencies, including Oliver, Glendale’s Certified Victim’s Assistant Officer, Annie, Chandler’s Certified Victim’s Advocate, and Hope, Surprise’s Therapy dog. We own and live with all of our parent dogs, they are spoiled like all pets should be.
I not only love dogs, I love all animals and have been involved in animal rescue in one way or another for the past 15 years.
I am dedicated to being honest and ethical by treating people the way I would like to be treated. I will give you any type of reference you would like; from our personal vet to families who currently own our dogs.
Over those 35 years, I trained dogs for show, personal protection, and service therapy. Originally I started breeding and training German shepherds for personal protection. I then moved into breeding and raising champion shih tzus before I started breeding goldendoodles for service and family pets. I no longer train the puppies we breed, but I do work closely with a master trainer with over 35 years experience in service, therapy, and rescue.
I believe strongly in the ethical treatment of animals. At Arizona Goldendoodles, I personally sit with and monitor each mom during labor and assist in the delivery of every puppy. Our parent dogs are our pets first and we will NOT overbreed or endanger a moms life to satisfy a wait list. I will refund a client a deposit in a heart beat before I will risk a mom. Each potential mom is checked and given the okay by one of our vets before a breeding takes place.
