Here's what people are saying about Bella Mini Doodles...



​We simply can't believe that Janelle gave us her best puppy ever!!! Lucy is the sweetest, gentlest, smartest, cutest pup in the world! As first time dog owners, we are still surprised at how much joy and love she is bringing to us. I did a lot of research before making the decision to welcome a dog into our family. I had such a good feeling when I found Janelle. She was so thorough and patient with me and my million questions. She really did a fantastic job of helping us decide what was best for our family. And she really did give us the best puppy ever! We are so grateful and would highly recommend her to our friends.

​We have had the most incredible experience with Janelle and Bella Mini Doodles! Our mini golden doodle, Raina, is the best dog we have ever had. Janelle was unbelievably knowledgeable, kind, and compassionate, all of which contributes to the amazing dispositions of all of her puppies. Her caring nature shines through, even in a phone conversation. Her dogs and puppies are exquisite! They are remarkably well-mannered, have amazing temperaments, excellent health, are well acclimated to children, sounds, and separation, as well as being the easiest puppies to potty train - due to the early training she provides them. Not to mention, every single puppy is GORGEOUS! We truly couldn’t picture our life without Raina, and every single member of our extended family loves her as much as we do. Friends, relatives, neighbors, and strangers all stop us on walks to ask us about her - that’s how many heads turn when we are out and about. We have referred three people so far to Mini Bella Doodles, and they have ALL had the same incredible experience that we’ve had. We hope some day to add another incredible doodle to our family from Janelle! We wouldn’t consider getting a dog or puppy from anywhere else! I promise you won’t be disappointed with any part of this amazing experience!

​We are so in love with our new addition, Obi. He is so smart...at three months old he is basically house trained, has no problem with his crate, he can sit, give paw, lay down, and comes when called. He is also so loving! He loves to snuggle, give kisses, and he absolutely LOVES meeting new people. He is the sweetest pup ever! Thank you so much Janelle; you have changed our lives with the sweet puppy you have given us!

What can I say about Louie, my little Petite Golden Doodle? That adopting him is, hands-down, one of the best things my husband of 40 years and I have ever done in our lives? Well it is true. We have had them all....labs, cocker spaniels, Shar-Peis, rescues of who knows what breed ...even one of those "cute" little Puggles. Always two, or even three at a time. We loved them all. We cared for them all. We cried when they were gone and we swore after each one was gone we would never go through that heartache again. But then along comes Louie. OK. So you already know about Janelle and what she does to ensure that her dogs are of the highest quality. That they are healthy and intelligent and social and even best TRULY HYPOALLERGENIC. My grandson and daughter-in-law could never have a dog, even a so-called "hypoallergenic" one, but they tolerated Louie so well they adopted his sister! These dogs are so smart. So eager to learn. So tolerant of being handled. We have already accomplished so much with him. Yes, we are older now and yes, all our kids are gone, but we both still have full-time jobs. Louie is well on his way to being left safely crated for a little bit longer every day. Janelle has been with us from the start. She truly loves what she does and you can feel how sincere she is when she responds to our little questions and updates. If you are considering looking for a dog. If you are reading this testimonial, stop looking. You have found what you are looking for.

What a great experience in getting our puppy, from the first phone call to the puppy-pick out day, to picking up our beautiful little puppy! I highly recommend Bella Mini Doodles in every way. Our Nikko is a healthy, thriving, playful, loving and smart little guy.

​Janelle, Finley is an absolute doll and we could not be more in love! She has the sweetest personality and the most laid bak temperament.  Sometimes we laugh about how she is a little person stuck in a dog's body.  She loves to run on the golf course behind our house and she known for stealing a sock or two on occasion.  We constantly get compliments on how cute she is.  We can't thank you enough for her and can't wait to add another Bella Mini Doodle to the family sometime soon!  Fin is easily dog we have ever had in every sense!
​We just wanted to take a minute and thank Janelle from the bottom of our hearts. Working with Janelle has been a pleasure and has a lot of knowledge in breeding and raising goldendoodles. At first, we were so worried about getting a dog because of my husband having severe allergies. Carmel is now a 5 month old mini goldendoodle and has been the biggest blessing in my family’s lives. She is a little ball of fluff who loves attention and such joy with character. She knows some tricks in sign language; such as sit, friends (shake), lay down, speak, and potty with more to learn. We look forward to creating many memories together as a family.

When we searched for a puppy for our family we had requirements with it being hypoallergenic and good with kids. We searched high and low but once I spoke to Janelle from Bella Mini Doodles I knew that I was adopting a puppy that was well bred and nurtured from birth. She was very knowledgeable and experienced. We made the trip from NJ to Rochester, NY and got to greet our puppy on the porch and it was love at first sight.  Our golden doodle Cooper is AMAZING and we can't image life without him. Copper is now almost 2 years old and he is super smart and loves every person he meets. His love is so beyond what we expected. We sometimes forget he is a dog. He has been a priceless addition to our family.

"From a young age, I always wanted a golden retriever but my mom was allergic. She promised me a dog when I was older and out of her house, but I wanted to be able to enjoy a dog together. After some research, I learned about golden doodles and I was hooked. When I saw Janelle’s pups, I fell in love. When it came time for Janelle to let me know about the litter I was hoping to choose from, my options were limited. I wanted a female dog, but there were only 3 in that particular litter and 2 other families had claimed a female pup before me. Janelle was originally going to keep the last female, but instead she offered her to me. I couldn’t be more grateful for her generosity because that 3rd female, known as Zoë, has been one of the greatest joys of my life. She is healthy, happy, people-oriented, full of love and very easily trained! I can’t say enough good things about Jenelle’s dogs. I highly recommend them, as Zoë has been worth all the time, money and energy I invested into her and so much more. Thank you for such a wonderful companion!"

​"Janelle is a true expert—she is knowledgeable and passionate about the golden doodle breed.  She was a true professional from the start, from our first interview with her to pick up day. Even now, she is very responsive to our texts and emails. Our puppy, Maui, is such a perfect addition to our family. He is loving, cuddly, caring, fun, and adorable. Most importantly, our vet is very impressed with his health. We are so happy that we went with Bella Mini Doodles, and we would recommend them to all family and friends."

​" Luna is three now and we could not imagine life without her! We are so in love and she is the best doodle Luna ever! She is so sweet, smart, playful, loving, etc. we could go on and on! We could not ask for a more perfect dog and she a perfect fit for our family! Thanks for making our doodle dreams come true!!! "
- Tabitha
"We love Bella Mini Doodles!!! We had a great experience start to finish! We picked up Baylee at 8 weeks old and fell in love at first sight! She just turned a year old and she’s the best!!! Love love love her! She was supposed to be a Micro Petite Mini but she’s 24 lbs at 1 year and we think she’s absolutely perfect! We had raised Golden Retrievers in the past and Janelle matched us with a more “Golden” Mini than “Doodle”. Every where we go people say “she looks just like a Mini Golden Retriever!” She’s super sweet, super smart and has been super easy to train! Ruth and David"
-Ruth Ashcraft (Lancaster, PA)
Our experience with Janelle and Bella Mini Doodles was nothing less than exceptional. Janelle is an expert and placed a tremendous amount of emphasis on the quality and health of her dogs and her process. This was our first experience interviewing a breeder who interviewed us! To be sure our family would be a good fit for the puppy and that the puppy would be a good fit for our family’s needs and lifestyle. From the first phone call until adoption day (and even now since having our puppy home) Janelle was organized, communicated consistently, provided us updates and some photos prior to adoption day- and adoption day was simply magical. Our Emmitt is a smart, beautiful, loving part of our family... We are so grateful to have him and for Janelle’s commitment to raising and breeding these beautiful healthy dogs.

​"The best dog in the world. You need one!"
-Kate Green

Bailey just turned 5 a couple of days ago and still to this day was the best decision we have ever made! She is the best and cutest girl around. She is so smart and has been since day 1. She doesn’t even need a leash on walks! Our experience with Bella Mini doodles was wonderful and would recommended them to anyone. Just can’t wait to get another!!
- Jennifer Austin ( Lancaster, NY)


​I cannot sing Janelle’s and Bella’s Mini Doodles praises enough. I had an incredible experience with Janelle. She was open, honest and did everything in her power to make sure my puppy adoption was seamless. I adopted a beautiful healthy boy named Frankie who has absolutely melted my heart and transitioned into my home perfectly. Thank you Janelle for bringing so much joy into my home.
-Mary-Margaret Quinn ( Needham, MA)


Murphy is now nine months old but she’s already provided us with years of joy and love. As our 6th dog and our first small dog, we had no idea what raising a petite mini golden doodle would be like. After one lab and four golden retrievers, we were so surprised how perfect this little 18 pounder would be for us at this time in our lives. Murphy is bright, loving and manageable. We are incredibly indebted to Janelle for this little bundle of joy.
-Roberta Borg​ (Rochester, NY)
I can't express how grateful and how happy I am with my little pup. Janelle delivered exactly what she promised and then some. She worked with me on picking a litter and a pup that fit some very specific requests with hopes of training a future therapy dog. Maggie is exactly what I asked for. Mild-mannered, highly trainable, social around adults and children with an adventurous side too! Everybody asks where I got her. She's 6 months old now and I already want another. I will never go anywhere else for a Goldendoodle! Thank you so much Janelle!
- Jessica Johnson (Rochester, NY)

​We had the most wonderful experience with Janelle and Bella Mini Doodles! She educated us from Day 1 on the process and what to expect and kept us informed throughout the process. We have had our Goldendoodle Sunny D since 7/28/19 and we couldn’t be happier! Janelle sent along detailed instructions on how to care for our puppy and he has been an angel ever since! We can’t imagine our lives without Sunny D and are incredibly grateful to have worked with Bella Mini Doodles!
-Stephanie Abbott (Needham, MA)

​Charlie had his first birthday yesterday, November 24th. He is the best puppy. From the time I picked him up in mid-January 2019, when he weighed 3.8 lbs., he has been a love. He loves every person and dog or cat he meets. He was house trained within a month and was so easy to train to sit and stay and come. He lives to please. He loves to play and cuddle, and my granddaughters love him. I cannot imagine life without him. He has given me such joy. I credit Janelle for much of Charlie’s wonderful personality and ease with people. I enthusiastically recommend Janelle and Bella minidoodles to everyone who is considering having a minidoodle. You will be so happy with your puppy.
-Debbie Moore (Syracuse, NY)
"We couldn’t be happier with Piper! She is the most loving dog we have ever come across and gives endless kisses. When we looked at her videos she seemed shy and timid and we were slightly worried but she looked too adorable to resist. Safe to say we shouldn’t have been worried. Upon meeting us her tail was wagging and she isn’t afraid of anything. She is an office dog and plays with all the other dogs in the office even though she is the youngest. I can’t thank Janelle enough. She was so helpful in the process and reassured us some puppies just take some time to come into their own. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog than Piper and she already has changed our family in only a few short months!"
- AJ DiStefano (Needham, MA)
"Where do I begin? We were blessed with our little Sadie Bug in September of 2018. From the moment we met her, it was love at first sight. She had our hearts forever. She is so smart, lovable, gentle with our cats and loves all who enter our home. She is at 20 lbs now and the vet says she is perfect in every way (we already knew that!). I am so thankful that I found Bella Mini Doodles. Sadie is such a great puppy in every way. She loves walks, car rides and anything that involves her tagging along with the rest of the family. We continue to get compliments on her beauty and temperament. We are so blessed. I would highly recommend getting your next family member from Bella Mini Doodles!!!"
-Renee DeWolf (Newark, NY)
We just wanted to stop by and say what a great experience it was working with Janelle and Bella Mini Doodles. We wanted a companion for our dog at home and we couldn't have made a better choice going through Janelle! Our house is full of love and energy with our little girl Lilly. Thanks for making it an enjoyable and seamless process!
- Tim and Jackie Storie (Churchville, NY)
One year ago our Snickerdoodle came home with us and we are very happy with her! Janelle is so easy to work with and very professional. She cares for her puppies and provides good solid recommendations to your questions. Our experience was wonderful with Janelle’s personal touch and adoption process. Should the say come that we look for another Doodle we will definitely reach out!
- Anne-Mary Pastor (Utica, NY)
I picked up Valentino at the San Francisco airport on February of 2018 from Janelle and her lovely daughter. He has been a charming, handsome, and friendly boy since day one. He gets so many compliments everywhere I take him for his charming and friendly personality. He is also very intelligent and learns things very fast. At his puppy training class of ten puppies, he is the only puppy that didn’t bark at the other puppies. The trainer said he is a very confident and balanced puppy; he only wants to play and give kisses! His nickname at the vet and the groomer is “Love Bug” and he surely lives up to the name “Valentino”. He is now 13 months old at 21 pounds. My family much in love with him. Thank you for sending us Valentino!

​Our Bella Mini Doodle Honey is an absolute dream. So easy to train and a sweet disposition. She is funny, affectionate and very smart! She is such a blessing to our family and brings us such joy! Thank you Janelle, she is the best.
- ​Andrea Mallette (Rochester, NY)

Janelle and her puppies are truly wonderful!!! Not only did she help us select just the right pup for our needs, but since we got our boy Bailey Janelle has been so helpful and responsive in talking us through the questions and concerns of first time puppy parents! We are very grateful!! And Bailey is soooo amazing - incredibly adorable, brilliant, super affectionate, heart tuggingly eager to please but also with a great spunky personality. We totally ADORE him!! We can’t thank Janelle enough!!

​I can’t even remember what life was like before Wally! Throughout my two-year search for a dog I kept coming back around to Bella Mini Doodles, and I’m so glad I did. Wally is a truly the best puppy ever – even-tempered, well-mannered, affectionate, social, and so much fun to be around…not to mention the cutest thing anyone’s ever seen. He is great with other dogs and other people – he wants to be everyone’s friend and everyone wants to be his friend. Can’t thank you enough Janelle for bringing this little bundle of joy into my life!
​- Ross Baum (New York City, NY)
We had an amazing experience with Bella Mini Doodles. Our doodle is one of a kind- loyal, smart, and fun all in one (I may be biased but also the cutest thing EVER). It is hard to put into words how much our pup has changed our lives for the better. I 100% recommend Bella Mini Doodles. Our “coming home” was much easier than anticipated with the crate training/potty training Janelle does prior with the pups. We can’t wait to get another!
-Tristen & Brody Stewart (Hagaman, NY)
After months of research online, especially Instagram, we kept circling back to Bella Mini Doodles and eventually decided they were the ones we had to choose after we heard unanimous praise from others who had already had such great experiences with Janelle and their puppies. Now after going through the entire process, I can say from firsthand experience that we would confidently recommend Janelle to anyone who’s looking for the absolute best puppy you can ask for. Butters, our sweet little micro goldendoodle has exceeded any and all expectations for temperament and of course, cuteness. Even our trainers and vets have been amazed at his behavior at such a young age, a testament to his upbringing at Janelle’s beautiful home in Spencerport. You can tell from his demeanor around other dogs and people, along with his acceptance to being handled by anyone he meets, that this is all due to Janelle’s methodical yet warm and loving approach to his first 8 weeks as a puppy. We are so glad we made the trip to Spencerport from Manhattan so that we could see the beautiful and peaceful surroundings where Butters was raised and would recommend to anyone that they make the trip to see it if they can. We can’t thank Janelle enough for giving us such a great addition to our lives and hope our recommendation helps anyone on the fence feel confident that it’ll be well worth their time and money to work with Janelle on finding the perfect puppy for them as she did for us.

​Sophie has been such a joy in our lives. She is the sweetest, most loving and loyal pup we could’ve asked for. She is so smart and was completely potty trained within two weeks of getting her - pretty much unheard of! We can’t go on a walk without someone commenting on how cute she is and how she looks like a teddy bear. Janelle was so helpful answering any questions we had and really cares about the puppies and wanted to make sure they go to a good home. We couldn’t be happier to have Sophie as a part of our family!
- Sarah Willer
Hi Janelle! Just wanted to let you know how Jake is doing!! He really seems to be the perfect puppy-he’s so smart, well tempered, and fun! He’s mostly potty trained, he’s only had a few accidents in the four weeks we’ve had him. We started a puppy obedience class last night and the trainer said he is the bravest and most well adjusted puppy she has had in her class, even being so young still! She said it was clear he came from a reputable breeder that really cares about the puppies and puts effort to socialize them from the beginning. We couldn’t be more thankful, he is the perfect little guy for us and we love him! Our goal is to train him to CGC certified and eventually become a therapy dog, because he would just bring so many people joy!
- Kylie Kirschman
I will never forget December 23, 2017, when we drove to Spencerport, NY to pick up our new puppy. My heart melted and me eyes filled with tears as Janelle from Bella Mini Doodles handed me the most precious and perfect little puppy! Seeing how Janelle and her whole family loved and cared for these puppies in their own house made me feel assured that we were getting a healthy, fun, friendly, and people-oriented dog. From the day we put that puppy, Holly, on our 7-year-old daughters lap as a surprise Christmas present, she has been a complete blessing. She is almost 6 months old now, and such a fixture in our family. Holly loves playing with all of us and also enjoys cuddling on the couch... and with no shedded fur all over us! She is already very smart, and is strikingly beautiful. Whenever we are out and about at the pet store, the vet, or just taking a walk in the neighborhood, complete strangers regularly stop us to comment on her calm, friendly, well-behaved nature, and her adorable face! She is always excited to meet other people, and other dogs, too. We just can't say enough about how happy we are that we chose Bella Mini Doodles... because if we didn't, we wouldn't have our precious little "Holly Jolly!"
-Melanie, Tom, and Lily
"After doing a lot of research on breeders I knew after one conversation with Janelle that I had found the breeder I wanted to use.  She was very informative and spent a lot of time answering all my questions.  I admired her commitment and how much she truly cared about each puppy and the home it would go to.  I have been blessed with the most incredible puppy.  Bodie is everything I had hoped for.  His coloring and coat are absolutely beautiful.  He looks like a teddy bear and everywhere we go people stop to say hello.  At 11 weeks Bodie has leaned the commands come, sit, down, off and wait.  I have been working with a trainer and he said Bodie is an exceptional dog.  I love coming home to this little boy because he brings me so much joy.  Thank you Janelle for such a wonderful gift. "

We have three Bella Mini Doodles in our Family! It began with our son and his girlfriend, who did a ton of homework on breeders and found Janelle. They welcomed their micro, Cooper, in 2015. About a year later, another family member adopted their petite, Spencer. Both dogs are so sweet and smart, and have the best personalities. After dog sitting several times for Spencer, and saying goodbye to our beloved 14 year old lab… we decided it was time for us to get a doodle of our own. We knew exactly where to go. We reached out to Janelle and got on the waiting list. Right from the beginning, we got updates on the puppies birth, progress on their development, photos and videos, and we finally picked up Oliver in December 2017. He’s now almost a year and a half, and the most spoiled member of our family. Each of the three dogs have their own distinct personality, yet they are all wonderful, sweet, loving and FUNNY creatures that bring so much love and joy to our family. Spencer and Oliver see each other regularly, and it’s a special treat when Cooper comes home from Florida to visit with his brother and uncle. We were able to trace the family tree and discovered that Cooper and Spencer share the same father (Beau), who is also Oliver’s grandfather, so the two older boys are brothers, and Oliver is their nephew. A big blended family just like ours!

​"We knew from the moment we received our first phone call that Janelle was very knowledgeable and experienced. She took the time to answer every question we had. Janelle provided us with pictures and videos of the litter as the puppies grew. When puppy pickup day came, we could tell that she poured all that experience into each puppy in the litter. We have received numerous compliments on our puppy’s temperament and adorable looks. Our puppy has truly completed our home and is beyond perfect in every way. We highly recommend Bella Mini Doodles."

 Cooper is an amazing dog and absolutely all that we hoped he would be.  When we were in the process of choosing a puppy,  I remember you saying one of the great things about this breed is that they will enjoy doing whatever it is you are doing. That has been so true.  No matter what we are doing…If we are at a family gathering, watching a field hockey or baseball game, out on the boat, outside playing, whatever it is, he loves it.  If we are watching a movie, he is perfectly content to cuddle up with us, preferably with his head on someone’s shoulder.  He is so friendly to all people and dogs. I can’t begin to tell you how many times people have stopped us to compliment Cooper’s appearance, to ask what kind of dog he is and to ask where we got him.  It honestly happens at least once every time we are out in public with him.  It confirms that you truly breed beautiful dogs.  I have been most impressed with how easy going he is and how much he enjoys cuddling with people. He allows us, the vet, and the groomer to really do anything to him.  The time and effort your family puts in handling and cuddling your puppies  creates a kind and loving dog.
​We can’t thank you enough... for all that you do to breed such amazing dogs!

"Janelle is a true expert - she is knowledgeable and passionate about the golden doodle breed. She was a true professional from the start, from our first interview with her to pick up day. Even now, she is very responsive to our texts and emails. Our puppy, Maui, is such a perfect addition to our family. He is loving, cuddly, caring, fun, and adorable.

"I’m Nala. I’m 4 ½ years old. Mommy says Janelle did a great job with me. I’m very healthy, mom says II trained very quickly, I am very friendly (I became a therapy dog- and go into a school where 1st graders read to me and into a nursing home where everyone loves me). I like to fetch the paper outside and my favorite game is catching and fetching a ball. I’m very cute (that’s what everyone says). My hair looks nice and I never shed!"

"Dallas is the most AMAZING dog ever. He’s truly a little love and truly is an English Cream Teddy Bear. He has a soul that is so deep and loving that we can’t even describe it properly in words. His eyes are so deep and full of personality. Just wanted to thank you for breeding such a wonderful dog."
- Angel Leclair
We have had our mini doodle for a week now. She is a beautiful, lovable, smart puppy who is pretty much already housebroken at 8 weeks! The process to get her was so easy, Janelle kept in contact throughout the whole process, and when the litter was born she sent photos and videos often. Bella Mini doodles is a professional operation with support if you need questions answered. She was very helpful even after the pickup. Wonderful experience. Thank you Janelle!

Working with Janelle was great! We got our micro petite mini golden doodle a few days before Christmas and he is the perfect gift. Janelle was very informative on the process and what to expect/how to prepare for our puppy. She sent videos and pictures of the puppy as well as of his parents. Our puppy came with his first round of shots and is very intelligent and loving. Although we have had him for only a short while, he is very quick to learn and shows daily improvement. 
As NYC residents we were very considered about size – Janelle matched us with a perfect puppy for a small New York apartment.
We would recommend Bella Mini Doodle to anyone who truly loves golden doodles.
​-Drew Jammer
My husband and I researched long and hard to find the perfect breed - and breeder - before bringing a puppy into our home that we share with our three young children. I knew in my initial conversation with Bella Mini Doodles that we had found our match. Janelle is warm and inviting yet extremely knowledgeable about her puppies. She took the time during several conversations to answer all of my questions and address any concerns that, as a new puppy owner I had.  I fell in love with our pup pup Holly the moment I laid eyes on her. She is every bit of what Janelle told me she'd be. She is warm and loving - quite a cuddler! Holly is gentle yet playful; relaxed yet energetic; excellent with my children and others and simply beautiful. In fact, two neighbors went to Bella Mini Doodles to get a doodle of their own after seeing and meeting Holly! We have nothing but thankfulness to give to Bella Mini Doodles for bringing us our newest love to our family.

​Gus is the best dog. We are so lucky he is our boy. He has the sweetest disposition! People often stop us on walks asking about Gus, commenting how cute he is!! Our dog sitter loves him just as much as we do…she wants to take him home with her. Our neighbor is getting a Mini Bella Doodle too, we can’t wait!
-Mark & Beth Simon
After doing a ton of research, I was torn between various breeders in upstate New York. Once we got Felix, he was super friendly, almost fully housebroken and a pleasure. Now, a year later, I’m in love with his personality and his energy. He is a pleasure, and has made his presence known and is a total joy. I would highly recommend Bella’s Mini Doodles. The box nose is a feature that is super distinctive, and makes him stick out from other golden doodles.
​Overall love, love, love!
- Rosey Carvalho
Two words, PERFECT LITTLE!  We have had our Cassie for just over a year now and she is perfection.  I have never seen such character and personality in a dog before, they way she acts and behaves so well is such a blessing.  Another nick name for Cassie is Lovebug, the love and affection she shows towards everyone is heart warming.  I am soooo in love with her!
Janelle really loves what she does and it shows in each litter she has. 
​Thank you Bella Mini Doodles for my sweet perfect loving girl!
-Michele Rueckwald
​What could be better than brother and sister Bellas?  Nothing beats these two - that's for sure! Our family has the tremendous pleasure of having sibling Bella Mini Doodles.  If you think one is fun, we enjoy a double doodle dose.  Myles and Gracie are 3 1/2 year old Lexi litter mates and they are a delightful pair.  Besides their handsome and beautiful looks respectively, they enjoy doing everything our family does.  We are an active family and these two are always ready for adventure.  They make us laugh when there is a slight hint that someone in our family is going on a trip because they immediately hop into the car.  Myles and Gracie are convinced that an adventure lies ahead and they don't want to miss out.  Whether we are headed for a short trip to the local park for a run or packing for a week away in the mountains, these two want to be in on the action.  They love being with us and being with each other.  They play well together and it is also great to experience them growing up together. 
​We love having sibling Bella Mini Doodles as part of our family! 
-The Erdogan Family 
My girlfriend and I did a ton of research on where to go for our goldendoodle and Bella was the resoundingly obvious choice. Janelle cared for each puppy like it was her own and that care and love was immediately evident once we took home our dood. After one year, we couldn’t be more pleased with that decision. I am a first time dog owner and our little guy has made me happier than I thought possible. It’s hard to walk Maverick through the streets of DC without being solicited for pictures or stopped and asked where we got him (in a good way)! We took a five hour bus and then drove seven hours to get our puppy and my girlfriend still calls it one of the best days of her life. We still keep in touch with our Bella Family. Thanks Janelle!

​Bella Mini Doodles was the answer to a longtime prayer I had for the perfect dog for my husband and I to start our family. My husband did not want a big dog and because of allergies, we needed one that was hypoallergenic. My biggest concern was a responsibly bred dog that was well socialized and awesome with kids. I grew up with goldens and thought they were the best breed you can ask for but since bringing Cooper into our home I might be convinced that goldendoodles are the best of both worlds. You get the loving temperament and companionship of a golden...without all the shedding! It was apparent from the moment I spoke with Janelle that she was a knowledgeable, responsible breeder who was above all else a dog lover. I lived for the weekly pictures and updates she sent about our puppy and we could see how well he was cared for. This was also obvious on puppy pick up day when we met Cooper's parents and all the other puppies. The dogs are definitely family members in her home. Cooper is all we could have asked for and more. He is loving, playful, smart, and healthy! I could tell how much care went into breeding Cooper and it shines through in his personality. He often comes to work with me and visits the residents in the skilled nursing facility where I work and he is awesome with the residents. He loves other dogs, cats, children young and old and pretty much anyone he meets. He actually seeks people out to say hi if they walk by him without petting him first, which isn't very often given how adorable he is! Cooper has been such a source of joy, comfort, and fun that my husband and I can't imagine our lives without him.

      In July our family lost our older much loved dog leaving our other cherished dog lonely and lost - thus our search for a new family member began.  Our daughter owns a “dog bakery” and see many many dogs on a daily basis so I asked her in her opinion what breed we should consider.....it took her less than 5 seconds to to answering resoundingly “A BELLA MINI DOODLE”.  So our journey began.  And what a fantastic journey it was working with Janelle to match us with our perfect puppy Chloe.We were in Ireland when we received a text from Janelle that our Chloe was born and even better she was born the day before my birthday! A few weeks after our return we went to puppy pick-up day and it was LOVE at first sight when Janelle handed Chloe to us.  Chloe is 6 months old now and is a beautiful, smart, amazing well adjusted puppy, much adored puppy.  She was completely potty trained with the first week we had her - I owe this to the nurturing that Janelle gave (gives) to all her puppies who are raised in an immaculate beautiful family home.Chloe loves people and any social setting. She is as comfortable around kids and adults as she is around per dog peers.  Again a tribute to the love and care they received from Janelle and her family.  All puppies go home with a packet chocked full of information to make the puppy’s transition from their litter to their “new” family seamless.  Our family is truly blessed to have Chloe a part of our family.  I would not hesitate to refer Janelle and Bella Mini Doodles to any one who wants a well bred well rounded puppy.

My husband and I recently lost our beloved dog almost three month ago. We knew that we would be getting a new puppy soon. My daughter found out about Bella Mini Doodles and we found that this would be a great fit for us. Janelle spent time matching us up to that dog that would work with our lifestyle. My daughter and I made the trip to pick up our puppy. Janelle was so organized and we were so impressed. She covered all the important topics and even demonstrated nail cutting and eyebrow trimming. We were each given a gift bag and most importantly a folder with all the important data. It has been very evident to my husband and I the amount of work Janelle and her family have put into raising these puppies. Our puppy has not had one accident since we brought him home...Our little guy, Tanner, has transitioned like a champ into our home. Thank you so much for everything.

Hi Janelle, just wanted to share an update about my pup Jake from a litter from 2016. He just passed and received his Canine Good Citizen title and passed his Therapy Dog evaluation!! He is certified good dog! He has the best temperament and bring joy to a lot of people! I’m so grateful to you for our boy, he is a true member of our family and we could never imagine a better dog. His constant love and snuggles are the best part of every day!!

Our experience working with Janelle of Bella Mini Doodles has been nothing short of spectacular. All of the conversations with Janelle over the phone and through e-mail were very informative, answering all questions that we had throughout the process. Aside from being an absolutely gorgeous pup, Finley has a gentle, fun, and loving personality that fits perfectly into our family. Everywhere I take her people stop to ask me about Finley. We have already, and will continue to recommend to our family and friends to Bella Mini Doodles. Thank you Janelle and Bella Mini Doodles for the perfect addition to our family!

I cannot imagine life without my little Harlow. She is playful, intelligent, silly, and looks like a real-life teddy bear. Whenever we go on walk, we are always stopped by people asking what type of dog she is as she is so cute and well-behaved. Ever since coming home, she has impressed us with how smart she is, graduating at the top of her class in the AKC Star Puppy Socialization Program and hoping to become therapy dog certified so we can bring smiles to patients. I am so thankful for Janelle for finding me this perfect, little bundle of joy. She worked with me from day one to find the perfect fit, and i could not be happier. I cannot recommend Bella Mini Doodles enough.

​We have been fortunate to have our beautiful "Angel" for 2 years. Janelle has been a constant support, source of encouragement and educator through the entire experience. Any question has been answered, any concern met with a response. When you have a Bella Mini Doodle, you have  an extraordinary new member of your family
​as well as the expert advice of Janelle herself.

​Hi Janelle!! Sitting on the beach, thinking of you on my 1st birthday!!! Thanks for being such a great breeder.
- Love, Rookie

      Our family home has always been filled with dogs. Our first family dog was a golden retriever, and he set the bar extremely high for all other dogs who followed him. After his untimely passing due to illness, we knew our home wouldn't be the same without pets. We welcomed two more beautiful dogs into our home, a yellow lab and a cockapoo. These two were inseparable since the day they came home. Unfortunately, in the spring of 2014 after 12 1/2 years together, we lost our yellow lab to cancer.
     Our cockapoo had as much of a hard time with the passing of our lab as we did. We knew he needed another companion, but finding a reputable breeder was going to be the challenge. After many months of research, we came across Bella Mini Doodles and right off the bat we knew this breeder was special. We contacted Janelle for an interview and she was such a pleasure to work with. She went through the entire process with us, as well as calming our nerves about bringing a puppy into a home with a 13 year old dog. 
     At the time we were accepted into the wait list for a Bella Mini Doodle puppy due to be born in June, there was already another liter that was getting ready to go to their forever homes. I got a call from Janelle informing me that a family assigned to the current litter had to move sooner than expected and they wanted to know if they could switch litters. As fate would have it, she would be delivering two other puppies from the current litter right to our area. She asked if we were ready to take a puppy that weekend! Of course we said yes because in our minds, this puppy was meant to be ours.
     Once we knew we would be getting a puppy from this litter, she sent us picture every day of the puppies playing, interacting with her and her family. You could tell immediately that these puppies were treated like they were members of their family, fully loved and cared for. Once we knew which puppy was ours, pictures and videos of our puppy were sent to us daily, until the day we were able to take him home.
     We met her at a park in Summit, New Jersey with the two other families taking puppies home that very same day. The puppies were placed in a very spacious run and immediately took to their families. Janelle and her daughters were some of the sweetest people we have ever encountered. They were extremely professional, knowledgeable and a complete pleasure. The puppy came home with food and toys they played with at their house to make them feel more comfortable. 
     Once home, our puppy adjusted very quickly and was 95% potty trained. He came home to a forever friend that would show him the ropes of the house he would be living in and it has been an unbreakable bond ever since. We know that this ability to form a quick relationship with a brand new dog is due to the fantastic work of Janelle. We have recommended their services to many of our friends. We have raved so much about them, that our cousins have even went through Bella Mini Doodles to bring home their furry bundle of joy. We our so in love with our sweet boy Oliver, or "Chino" as he was named in the litter, and we will continue to recommend Janelle and her family at Bella Mini Doodles!

Getting our girl Chloe from Bella Mini Doodles was the perfect choice for our family of 4 with 2 small boys.  Chloe was amazing right from day one.  She blended in with us from the moment we met her.  Chloe was, and is not skittish but overjoyed and affectionate towards everyone she meets.  Potty training was completely incredible.  I can honestly say that my family really didn't train her. She was fully potty trained at 8 weeks old.  Put her in the grass and she immediately knew what to do!  Chloe is an extremely smart dog but also so beautiful. She is a living teddy bear!! Bella Mini doodles does exactly what it promises to do with their doodles.  Janelle delivered a happy, intelligent, social, loving ball of fluff that has become our constant companion. We took Chloe to puppy school and the trainer told me she has never seen a more docile, calm, and attentive golden doodle. She was amazed.  The trainer informed me that most golden doodles are on the happy but hyper side. NOT Bella Mini Doodles dogs!  They obviously come from selected characteristics of generations of great genes!  It was a true pleasure to work with Janelle and couldn't be happier with our beautiful Chloe!!

After researching for months on the perfect dog for our family and after deciding on a golden-doodle, we spoke to Janelle just once and knew that we would be getting our dog from Bella Mini Doodles. Janelle is very knowledgable and truly cares about all her puppies and where they will be going. She sent us pictures and videos for weeks leading up to puppy pick up day, on which she was very accommodating. On pick up day we were welcomed into a very clean environment. As first time pet owners we couldn't be more pleased, overall a great experience. Molly has fit in perfectly with our family!

We had a wonderful experience with Bella Mini Doodles. When we first met Cooper for the first time, we knew that he was the one. Everyone we meet comments on what a great personality he has. He is great with other dogs and people. He is the total package. He was even featured in a magazine this month! Bella Mini Doodles were so supportive to us as first timers. They patiently answered questions and offered advice. The packet that they gave us included so many helpful hints; they are so knowledgable! When we took Cooper to the vet for the first time, she was clearly impressed with how organized everything was. We would recommend Bella Mini Doodles to anyone and as a matter of fact we hope to get a sibling for Cooper at some point! We have been so thrilled with our experience and are truly thankful to Bella Mini Doodles for making our family complete.

From a young age, I always wanted a golden retriever but my mom was allergic. She promised me a dog when I was older and out of her house, but I wanted my mom and I to be able to enjoy a dog together. After some research, I learned about golden doodles and was hooked. When I saw Bella Mini Doodles’ pups, I fell in love. When it came time for Janelle to let me know about the litter I was hoping to choose from, my options were limited. I wanted a female dog but there were only 3 in that particular litter and 2 other families had claimed a female pup before me. Janelle was originally going to keep the last female, but instead she offered her to me. I couldn’t be more grateful for her generosity, because that 3rd female, now known as Zoe, has been one of the greatest joys of my life. She is healthy, happy, people-oriented, full of love and very easily trained! I can’t say enough good things about Janelle’s dogs. I highly recommend them. Zoe has been worth all the time, resources, and energy I have invested into her and so much more. Thank you for such a wonderful companion!

I just wanted to let you know how much we love Summer! She is very intelligent and sweet. We LOVE her!  I think it shows how much care she received the first weeks of her life by you! Thanks again!

My experience working with Janelle Cole has been nothing short of wonderful! An experience only surpassed by our new family member, Bani. These exceptional puppies are family raised and enter your life expecting nothing less than full rights to your heart. If there has ever been a smarter, sweeter, more loving puppy so engrossed in our lives who by the way, just loves to wrestle, my guess is that is would be from Janelle's family of absolutely adorable little creatures. I have been blessed to make a life long friendship with Janelle and her family and most of all Bani.

From the day my husband and I took Shea home, we knew we made the perfect decision; getting a puppy from Bella Mini Doodles. Shea is an F1 mini golden-doodle and just the best puppy in the world. Within a few days, Shea was potty trained and that’s when we knew how smart she really was. She loves to play, nap and show off her tricks. At just 6 months old, Shea can sit, stay, lay down, give paw, high five and roll over! She is super social and loves meeting new people. The minute Janelle sent us videos of all the puppies in the litter, purple girl stole our hearts. Shea has been the perfect addition to our family and we can’t thank Bella Mini Doodles enough for such a great dog!

 Kobe is a big boy now. He is 2 years old and a love. I would have 5 more if I could. You did a great job and I can’t thank you enough; worth every penny. He has a loving personality and he weighs exactly 16 pounds. He loves to run and chase his ball - Great exercise. I think he looks like his Mom but not sure. His coat is curly and soft and we love him!

We got one of your beautiful petite minis about a month ago, his name is Archie. He is amazing in every way and we are thrilled everyday with how smart and loving he is. He is in perfect health according to our vet and he has started basic obedience classes last week. He is a super quick learner! He is pretty much there with going to the bathroom outside now and we expect that he will be totally comfortable with it within a week. Needless to say, he is a total rockstar in our Brooklyn community. We can’t get half a block without someone stopping us to want to pet him or just stare at how handsome he is. It’s really quite amazing!

We've had our puppy Ollie home for about 2 weeks now, and he's been the PERFECT little addition to our family! My husband and I would HIGHLY recommend Bella Mini Doodles and Janelle! We've already had people stop us inquiring about Ollie, and we've boasted about our experience with Janelle. I had searched all over for a petite mini doodle breeder and finally came across the Bella Mini Doodle website and Facebook page. I knew almost immediately that's where I wanted to end my search. It helped that the videos on her website showed her home, children, and puppy nursery, and it quickly made me feel comfortable and confident that we found our breeder! From the moment we contacted Janelle, she was quick to respond and very knowledgable about her litters. I loved that she really took the time to get to know us over the phone so she could recommend the best litter of puppies to fit our family. She was always sending texts and videos of the puppies which was super sweet and helped us to get a better feel for what we'd be choosing. When we arrived at Janelle's beautiful house to pick up our puppy, she was very welcoming and took her time with us. You could really see how much she puts into her business and how much she adores every puppy. I'm SO glad we found Bella Mini Doodles and couldn't be more thankful that it led us to our sweet Ollie.

​Hi Janelle, We got him from you earlier today! He is SO social and not nervous at all! He has gone potty outside a few times and is the snuggliest little guy ever! We love him so much already, thanks so much for everything!

I can’t thank you enough for Henry. He has changed my life and brings so much joy to everyone around us. He truly is the BEST puppy. You were right, his personality is perfect- always wants to cuddle, the sweetest boy, so smart and loves to play. I get stopped walking him and am told how handsome he is… and then people greet and hold him and cannot believe how calm and well behaved he is for only 4 months old. I can’t imagine life without Henry, he will be loved for years to come. Thank you for the perfectly sweet little doodle.

We are blessed and so happy with our dog, Brady.  After much research we found Bella Mini Doodles and contacted Janelle.  We had the nicest conversation all about Janelle’s dogs and puppies and her breeding philosophies.  She was so kind and also very interested in our family as well.  Once we decided that we were 100% ready for a puppy we let Janelle know and we were put on a list.  We were so excited and even more happy when Janelle and I talked and decided which puppy would be best for us.  She sent me a few videos and shortly after we met Janelle when she delivered the puppy close to our home.  Once we met her and saw the puppy we knew how much she loved her dogs and what a very sweet and caring person she was.   Brady has been an amazing addition to our family.  He is not only adorable but so very smart.  He has never had an accident in his crate and potty trained very easily.  After a few weeks he slept through the night in his crate and willingly goes in a night.  He is very attentive and very eager to learn.  Our dog trainer told us that he has amazing eye contact and is very engaged with us.  We also get stopped all the time as people can’t believe how adorable he is!  I am so thankful that we found Janelle and would highly recommend her beautiful and sweet puppies.
-Tina Leuthner (Summit, NJ) 
​The most important thing to us when we started our search for a puppy was to find a reputable breeder.  We wanted to make sure our puppy was coming from a loving and stress-free environment.  Right off the bat from our first conversation with Janelle, we knew we had found the right person.  She explained the whole breeding process to us and explained how her mommies live in her home in a tranquil and caring setting.  She sent us pictures of her home and videos of the mommy and all of the puppies.  She interviewed us as well to make sure her puppies would be going to a good home.  We are so happy with our decision and are in love with our puppy Baxter.  Janelle offers continuing support and we know we can contact her with any questions or concerns we may have.
​-Michael and Nancy Fiore
What a loving experience we had in choosing our puppy. My wife learned of Janelle and her Bella doodles from a neighbor walking their dog. They spoke very highly of them and the Bella Doodle breed themselves and gave us their contact information. For our family this was a new experience totally and we had a lot of questions. We received pictures, videos and text messages from Janelle on a regular basis, prior to choosing them as our breeder. We could see from the messages of the spectacular environment they lived in and how much love and attention that they gave their puppies.  This made our choice, very easy.  Upon meeting her and our puppy, it was truly a great connection. Our puppy, Bella, is very loving, super smart, and sweet, everyone loves her. She loves to play and lay next to us. She loves kids, adults and everyone that comes to the house. She was so easy to train, that even the trainer took to Bella. The personal attention that they give to their dogs, shows through the love that our dog gives to us. We would absolutely recommend Janelle (Bella Mini Doodles) to family and friends.

Janga has been amazing! The moment she got home after puppy pick up, se went right over to her crate and snoozed there. Since then, she has been full of and energy and love. We have gotten so many compliments on her color, her face, her demeanor, and her energy. She really has been amazing right from the start with continence training and other sensory training. We love our little bundle of joy!

​This handsome doodle now weighs 8.26lbs! Double what he weighed 3 weeks ago. Super healthy and so so happy. We love Charlie doodle, he is so wonderful. He is very socialized and has many human admirers. Very eager to please and can identify us in a group immediately. He is such a quick learner, too - he can already sit and lay down on command, and we are working on stay! He is so smart at 10 weeks. Thank you, thank you. He is a huge blessing to our lives.

We cannot thank Bella Mini Doodles enough for such a wonderful experience. Charlie is now a seven months old. He is a beautiful combination of loving, playful, and friendly to all. You cannot look at that fluffy boy without having the biggest smile on your face. So often we asked where we got such a handsome pup, and we are always proud to say from Bella Mini Doodles - they are truly one of a kind puppies that come directly from a loving home. Charlie was a perfect addition to our family!
-Kristen Sinicropi
Working with Janelle was great! We got our micro petite mini golden doodle a few days before Christmas and he is the perfect gift. Janelle was very informative on the process and what to expect/how to prepare for our puppy. She sent videos and pictures of the puppy as well as of his parents. Our puppy came with his first round of shots and is very intelligent and loving. Although we have had him for only a short while, he is very quick to learn and shows daily improvement. As NYC residents we were very considered about size – Janelle matched us with a perfect puppy for a small New York apartment. We would recommend Bella Mini Doodles to anyone who truly loves golden doodles.
​ -Drew Jammer
We could not have been more happy with our experience from the moment we spoke with Janelle. My wife and I remembered being interviewed for the opportunity to purchase a pup from Bella’s Minis and knew that we made the right choice. Janelle even sent us pictures of her home where the pups were being cared for during their first 8 weeks, which shows how much raising happy and healthy dogs means to her. Our pooch Baxter is the most lovable addition to our family and everyone who meets him just falls in love. I am hoping to get another pup from Janelle in this coming year. Thank you so much for making our home so much more enjoyable to home to each day!
​- Micheal Fiore

​Janelle, we could not be more in love with our little Frankie Doodle. She is the absolute best dog and addition to our family. She has the most wonderful temperament, gorgeous face and coloring, and is truly our family’s best friend. We joke that no one loves us more than Frankie Doodle does. Can’t imagine life without her! Thank you for bringing her into our lives.

​Dallas is the most AMAZING dog ever. He's a little love and truly a teddy bear. He has a soul that is so deep and loving that we can't even properly describe it in words. His eyes are so deep and full of personality. Just wanted to say thank you for breeding such a wonderful dog.
-Noralee Leclair
In August we brought home our mini-doodle, Polly, who is now six months old and as healthy and loving as can be! Prior to bringing Polly home, you could tell that Janelle was hard at work attending to the puppies - she kept us updated constantly through the puppies' growth, sending us photos, videos, and regular updates once the puppies were born as well as really helpful check-ins leading up to their birth. In the weeks leading up to our pick-up day, Janelle was always available if we needed anything and was very detailed and thorough with explaining how she was caring for the puppies and their mother. We felt like we were right there with the pups! When we visited Janelle to choose our puppy from the litter, we saw that the pups were being raised in a clean, beautiful home, and immediately thought Janelle was the warmest, most caring person we could have hoped to meet! She was very attentive to her pups and we could tell that they had a loving environment and had every need cared for. We are so blessed to have little Polly in our life - she is incredibly sweet, amazingly smart, and absolutely loves meeting new people (you should see her tail wag!) – her affection is clearly the result of spending her first weeks in the loving environment provided by Janelle and her home. We receive so many compliments on Polly and everyone absolutely loves our little pup. We are truly grateful for everything and couldn't have picked a better breeder. Thank you, Janelle!

​I get stopped on the street everyday about how adorable Roonie is. Besides the cuteness he is the most affectionate dog. All he wants to do is climb on your lap and give kisses and hugs. He’s like 1,000 bowls of sugar! He’s also become quite the celebrity. Last week, he was photographed to be in advertising! I have had dogs in my life, but this one is truly the most amazing. He is very smart, and loves to fetch, and is funny as well! He’s one healthy, happy guy. Sleeps behind my pillows with his head on me. I love love him; it’s hard not to! He adds joy everyday into our lives. Bringing him into the family was the best decision I have made in a long time.

I can not say enough great things about our experience working with Janelle Cole of Bella Mini Doodles.  All of the conversations over the phone and through e-mail were very informative, answering all questions that I had throughout the process.  We felt included and involved through the entire process by receiving pictures and updates. Puppy pick up day was nothing short of a spectacular experience. The joy we felt walking up to the Cole’s home to see the puppies in Janelle’s arms was incredible. It was immediately evident that Janelle spends countless hours nurturing and caring for these puppies. House  and potty training was so much easier than expected because of all the work Janelle  does with the puppies. Harper’s gentle, fun, and loving personality fits perfectly into our family. Our family and friends comment on how well mannered Harper is. We have already, and will continue, to recommended many of our family and friends to Bella Mini Doodles. Thank you again Bella Mini Doodles for our perfect addition to our family!

Nattie is an amazing dog for our young family. Since having a puppy, we have brought home our first son and Nattie has become his best friend. She is the friendliest dog in the world and so well-behaved. But the greatest thing about her is how sweet she is to our two-year-old son. Bella Mini Golden Doodles has been incredible for us. Their deep love and care for the puppies is shown in every aspect - from their facilities to their professionalism to their deep love of finding great homes for amazing dogs. We could not be more pleased with our experience at Bella Mini Golden Doodles and give them our highest recommendation.
-Jonathan and Sarah Sigmon
I did tons of research in order to find the best breeder to welcome a mini golden doodle into my family. Bella Mini Doodles stuck out the most to me because it really seemed like they treated their puppies like family and incorporated them into their everyday lives and activities. After bringing home Oliver, I could see that my original thoughts were true. He is the most playful, affectionate, and loving puppy and was already so close to being potty trained when I brought him home! From the initial phone call to the interview to the day that I got to bring him home- Janelle was nothing but helpful. She really seemed like she wanted to find the puppy that was the perfect fit for me and my family. While I waited for the day I could bring him home, Janelle sent me pictures and videos so I could watch the puppies grow and come into their own. I am overjoyed with my experience at Bella Mini Doodles and blessed that I got to bring home the most beautiful puppy I could have asked for.

​I have to tell you...anywhere we take Ozzy, people completely fall in love with him! I swear, women and men have stopped us everywhere we go and many have asked for your information. I give them the website name and your name. I just want to tell you what a wonderful puppy you have given us!

Absolutely loved the total experience we had with getting our Bella Mini Doodle baby. From beginning to end, Janelle was so helpful in the whole process. From the warm interview at the beginning to the sweet photos, videos she sent us all through the process of the mama and babies, we felt like we were involved and part of the entire process. I knew I was getting a very special doodle from the expertise and knowledge Janelle had from raising and loving her mini doodles. Anxious as I was at puppy pick up because I was the last pick and there was one pup left, Janelle assured me that I was getting a very special baby because they were all premium an beautiful. And I was NOT disappointed! My sweet baby was so beautiful and healthy and I knew she had been well taken care of and it was just as Janelle had said that every puppy was truly unique and a special fit for each family, my baby was just that. Janelle had potty trained her and it made the experience with a new puppy SO much easier! I named my baby Bella after Bella Mini Doodles because she was my dream dog and what a better way to honor her first family! Bella is now 8 months old and has stolen our hearts! I've recommended Janelle and Bella Mini Doodles to everyone because she is such a beautiful, sweet and intelligent dog. People have stopped their cars in the road when we are out walking and asked me what kind of dog Bella is and they say how beautiful she is! We are so happy with our sweet little girl and she has brought so much joy to our family.

“A dog is the only thing on Earth that loves you more than he loves himself.” – Josh Billings
Dogs have always held a special place in our hearts, and my husband and I have been blessed to care for quite a number of dogs along the way….everything from dogs who were abandoned along the road, to dogs we’ve adopted from local shelters, and even a few purebreds that we purchased from breeders, too, but none of these ways compares to the Goldendoodle we received from Bella Mini-Doodles!
     We first met Janelle and Andy Cole through a mutual friend at our church back in late 2014.  At the time, our previous dog (a 12-year old Black Labrador named Guinness) had passed away, and we were very much missing the love that only a furry 4-legged friend can give.  As luck would have it, our mutual friend had just posted a picture on Facebook of their beautiful Goldendoodle, who had just had a litter of puppies, and we commented on how adorable they all were!  Well, within minutes, our quick comment had progressed to a long phone call, during which we learned all about their dog who came to them from Bella Mini Doodles (as well as learning all about Janelle and Andy!) and our friend offered to introduce us to the Coles….from that moment on, our lives changed for the better!
     For our first meeting, Janelle and Andy invited us into their home and introduced us to the litter of puppies they were currently caring for….needless to say, we were in “Puppy Heaven!!”  Unfortunately, as much as we wanted to take one home with us that very day, all of the puppies were spoken for.  However, we knew from that moment on that we wanted to work with the Coles no matter how long the process took!  As we got into our car and drove away, my husband and I both began commenting on all the things that we were highly impressed with during the meeting…from the joyful and calm demeanor of Janelle and Andy, to the love the puppies immediately showed us, and especially of the cleanliness of both the puppies and the Cole’s home! 
     So, for the next six months, we kept in weekly contact with Janelle and Andy and waited patiently for the perfect little pup…on May 12th, we received the wonderful news that a litter of pups had been born and one was going to be ours!  Because we were going to be Guardian Parents, we needed to wait a few weeks before finding out which of the male pups was going to meet the needs of Bella Mini Doodles, and we were happy to wait those extra few days (it gave us time to buy all kinds of goodies to welcome our little pup to his “forever home!”)   In mid-July, we were able to bring our beautiful puppy home (whom we named “Seamus”), and we haven’t regretted it for a single moment!!
Working with Janelle and Andy was an absolute pleasure, and we could not be more proud to be a part of the Bella Mini-Doodles family!

Call me biased, but our Miss Mufasa is the sweetest, smartest puppy I have ever met. She immediately became an irreplaceable member of our family--she is so loving and receptive. She is wonderful with children and at only four months old is already on her way to being potty trained (which in NYC is quite a feat!). She also happens to be the cutest--we have yet to go on a walk where we're not stopped by friendly strangers wanting to know all about her. She is certainly our own real live teddy bear and the best part of our day! Janelle has been wonderful to work with throughout. She sent us pictures and videos prior to choosing our puppy and even now she continues to be a great support with any questions that arise.

Dear Bella Mini Doodles, 
Thank you so much for giving us the gift of Charlie. He is a total joy and your website was correct--we cannot walk a block with people wanting to stop and pet him. He has a beautiful disposition and he loves people. Thank you so much for our Charlie!

Janelle- Hugo is so well mannered and amazing... you really did a stellar job with him.
​-Ben Grovemen 
Our dog is such a delight. He is so smart and loving. My kids are home for Christmas and he has been so excited to be with them and their friends and I take him to school once a week. He spreads joy to everybody he meets. He is a natural hiker... able to jump logs, cross small creeks and when he hikes, he looks back to tell us to catch up with him! He knows the commands sit, lay down, shake, and he knows left from right! He does high five and rolls over! He sleeps alone at the foot of our bed and is totally potty trained. I cannot take him anywhere without comments about his cuteness. What a blessing he is. We love him so much, thank you.

​Our experience with Janelle at Bella Mini Doodles was everything we could have hoped for! Jax is a playful, sweet, loving little boy and our family just can’t get enough of him! He is very easy going and so smart! He can already sit, lay down, roll over, give paw and loving kisses. He is the cutest! He loves being with his people and it truly shows how much Janelle cared for her puppies from the beginning. We are so grateful we found Bella Mini Doodles and that Jazz has become such a great addition to our family!

​We love Angus T! Leah and I are very tickled! Angus is rambunctious, feisty and just silly. WE are completely in love with him. Right now he is snoozing and his tail is wagging... life doesn't get any better! I can tell that I'll be walking and training Angus to give him plenty to keep him busy, he has no shortage of energy! You have done a beautiful job with the breeding of your dogs and it shows by how easily they've adjusted to their new homes.

Monty is awesome, an absolute sweetheart.
Best dog I've ever had​.

​-Monty and Leah Devlin, (Abington PA) 
Cooper is a wonderful, well behaved dog. He is easy going, knows his commands, and is happiest while playing and being around people he loves. He is great with people, children and other dogs of all sizes. His energy level is intermediate and he is very well mannered while on a leash. As a puppy of three months he was house broken, so we left him with our other dog for 45 minutes... no accidents, nothing touched and as he got older we could leave him longer without any problems! Cooper is happy to be a part of this family and the world around him but is also happy to settle down and snuggle.
Thank you Bella Mini Doodles for our Cooper!

After my husband and I got married and moved into our house we decided we were ready for our family to grow by four paws. I knew I wanted a golden doodle but my husband was a little more hesitant. After some convincing, we decided that a golden doodle would be the right fit for us. The search was on to find the right breeder to give us the best doodle possible, and that’s when we found Bella Mini Doodles. Janelle was very patient answer all of our questions and kept us updated with videos of the puppies. We felt pretty confident about choosing Bella Mini Doodles during the waiting process, but now we are 100% confident we made the right choice. Jaxon has brought more joy into our lives than we can put into words. He is so playful but also very sweet, and so very very cute! Anyone who meets Jaxon falls in love with him immediately and we are constantly get complimented on how well behaved he is. Jaxon loves to play with other dogs and approaches everyone he meets with a wagging tail. Even my husband who was reluctant about getting a golden doodle repeatedly says what a perfect dog he is in every possible way. Thank you Bella Mini Doodles for breeding such high quality dogs! We love our Jaxon more than we could have ever imagined.

Well, we've made it a year with Linus! I had to tell you that he is truly an awesome dog. We love him like crazy and he is very happy being in a house with two girls who hold him all the time. He also loves snow. It is hilarious to watch him run around in it. I have to admit that he takes to me the most, which is sweet. He is really a lovey and has a quirky personality. He has been a gift to our family. Thank you!

Nylah is an amazing pup, the smartest dog we've ever had. I would highly recommend you. We recently told someone how great you were to work with and how you have the best mini golden doodles! Nylah is an amazing part of our family, always putting smiles on our faces. Thanks again!!

​Our boy Ziggy is not the shy boy he used to be! He's playing and being king of the house. He is such a good boy! He plays fetch and loves his leash already! Everyone comments on how stinking cute he is everywhere we go!
-Kate Bedwell 
I just wanted to tell you how much joy Ollie has brought into our home. He is such a well behaved dog, it is unbelievable. The kids just absolutely love him!! I was the one that didn't want a dog, but now I don't know what I would do without him.

My mini goldendoodle has been such a loving companion and I'm so happy that I chose to get him from Bella Mini Doodles. He's got such a wonderful personality that has been so fun to watch blossom. He loves the outdoors and is happy to come on all my adventures from ocean beach walks to hiking and camping and laying by the fire. He also like to relax inside with me and get tummy rubs while I watch a movie! He's happy just being around people, he's the perfect pet! On top of all the great personality characteristics and smarts he has and the fact that he doesn't shed, we've had countless people tell is that he is the cutest dog they've ever seen! Strangers ask to take pictures of him and pet him and boy does he love it. We've even had people stop their cars to pet him and find out what type of dog he is and what breeder he came from. If you're looking for a dog who loves both animals and people, is smart and loving, and is over-the-moon happy to see you every time you walk in the door, then a Bella Mini Doodle is for you! I love him so much that I'm thinking about getting him a sibling.
