We Don’t Breed Dogs. We Build Relationships.
Happy Doodle Farm places a limited number of exceptional Goldendoodles and Cockapoos annually with private families, executives, and institutions across the United States. Every placement is founder-led from first breath to final delivery. Every dog is developed under the Aspen Protocol — a training methodology built by the family that bears its name.
Happy Doodle Farm Origin
The Aspen Protocol exists because of a therapy dog. Happy Doodle Farm exists because a 1st grade Aspen wrote a persuasive essay for school on why she should get a Goldendoodle.
When Aspen Delaney was eleven years old, she was hospitalized with a serious health crisis. During her recovery, a therapy dog visited her room. She has described what happened in that moment the way other people describe a calling — not just comfort, but clarity. She saw what a trained dog could actually do for a person who needed one.
When she came home, she started building.
What began as a teenager’s dedication to proper training became the methodology every Happy Doodle Farm dog is developed under today. Aspen designed the socialization protocols, the training structure, the behavioral benchmarks, and the delivery standards that define our placements. She didn’t learn this from a certification course. She learned it by doing it — with every dog that has come through this farm, from the first litter to the most recent concierge delivery.
The business your clients trust today exists because a therapy dog showed up when she needed one. We have been paying that forward ever since.
Our Philosophy
| ❤️ Health at the Forefront | 🏡 Nurtured in a Home | 🎓 Expert Foundational Training | 🤝 A Lifelong Partnership |
|---|---|---|---|
| Our commitment starts before a puppy is even born. We conduct comprehensive health and genetic screening on all our parent dogs, ensuring your companion has the best possible start for a long, vibrant life. | Our puppies are raised in our home, not a kennel. From day one, they are exposed to the sights, sounds, and love of a family environment, building the confident, gentle temperament our dogs are known for. | We give you back your time. Our “Turnkey” training programs handle the sleepless nights, potty training, and the crucial early commands, providing you with a puppy that is ready to seamlessly integrate into your life. | Our relationship doesn’t end when your puppy comes home. We remain a dedicated resource for our client families, offering guidance and support throughout your dog’s life. |

Meet the Founders
Aspen Delaney, Founder and Creative Director
Aspen is directly responsible for the daily care, behavioral development, and training continuity of every dog placed under the Aspen Protocol. She conducts founder-led deliveries and in-home installations alongside her family. She is the reason our dogs arrive ready.
She is currently a junior in high school. She maintains a 4.0 GPA while enrolled full-time in her school’s most rigorous pathway, a dual-credit college program on track to earn an Associate’s Degree alongside her high school diploma. She is Kentucky State DECA Vice President of Communications, a two-time Kentucky State DECA champion in Hospitality Management, and the founding president of her school’s Best Buddies chapter — an organization dedicated to inclusion for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
She passed the college-level Praxis Biology exam as a sophomore. She has built independent businesses, booked clients at a bridal expo, and managed marketing for local companies — all while running Happy Doodle Farm operations.
When our founders fly first class to Beverly Hills or Manhattan to deliver and install a dog, Aspen is the reason that dog is ready for the trip. She is not the future of this business. She is the present of it.
“After I met my first trained companion dog I thought. We need to learn everything we can about training doodles and provide this service to everyone!“
Felicia and Vincent Co-Founders
Vince and Felicia manage client relationships, concierge delivery operations, business strategy, and the day-to-day systems that allow the Aspen Protocol to scale without compromising its standard. They are the people who answer the phone, book the flights, drive the 16-hour days, and sit in your living room until the transition is complete.
Vince brings a background in education and a teacher’s instinct for what actually works versus what sounds good. Felicia leads client communication and ensures that every family feels taken care of — not processed. Together they have built a business that has delivered trained placements to Manhattan, Beverly Hills, Dallas, Denver, Washington DC, San Francisco, and dozens of other markets.
They are not a facility. They are a family. That distinction is the entire product.
