Meet Valerie & Tracy

The hearts and hands behind Little Fur Friends — raising loving doodles from our small farm in Wharton, Texas since 2008.

Valerie & Tracy started Little Fur Friends in 2008, originally raising small poodle mixes and eventually evolving into the doodles we know and love today. Our first goldendoodle litter was in 2015, and we were hooked! As the saying goes, the rest is history.

We've both had dogs our whole lives and couldn't imagine life without them. They are family members and the most loyal "little fur friends" you can find.

We live in Wharton on 6 acres that we affectionately call our little farm. We have a variety of poultry and miniature livestock animals, a dog grooming business here at home, and our beloved dogs and puppies that keep us busy!

We're so excited to share them with you, and hope to help you find your own little fur friend!
