Bella's house of doodles
Here at Bella's we pride ourselves on being a highly ethical breeder. We believe in empowering our pups to be the best version of themselves. Our puppies are more than just pets,
they're family.
Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS)
We begin early neurological stimulation as soon as our puppies come into the world! Early neurological stimulation (ENS) was created as a procedure to introduce mild stress to puppies (specifically 3-16 days old). These stresses help improve the growth and development of the puppies' immune systems and stress tolerance by stimulating the neurological system. ENS is series of handling exercises carried out by our Nursery Staff.
Early Scent Introduction (ESI)
Early Scent Introduction (ESI) is another procedure we practice here at Bella's. ESI helps our puppies with nose awareness and their confidence. This process strengthens their ability to identify and react to scents. Like Early Neurological Stimulation, ESI is introduced at days 3-16 of our puppies lives and is very beneficial for their growth and development.
Curriculum
Another process we have is our curriculum! We pride ourselves in the effort we put behind our doodles. From Early Neurological Stimulation to basic commands, your pup will be set up for success!

Forever Means Furever
We stand by our pups. Being a breeder means it is our responsibility to find our pups their furever homes. All our clients are required to fill out a puppy application, complete a phone call consultation, and attend a meet and greet appointment. Our puppies are our pride & joy. They are so loved by each & everyone of our staff members.
