Welcome to:
About Designer Doggies:

Who IS DesignerDoggies?
Please search for a dog or puppy at the Rescue organizations before
selecting a puppy from my site.

This site is owned and created by Chelle Rohde.  As I was searching for my
first Puggle, I found that there were none in the area to choose from in
person, so I had her shipped in from Michigan.  When I decided to get a 2nd
Puggle, I wanted to choose in person so I brought in a litter of 8 puppies and
chose my sweet Scarlett from 5 girls.  This is how my business began.  I
bring puppies in from my Breeder that lives out of State to California for you
to choose at my place so you too have that luxury of choosing your puppy's
personality in person.   At Designer Doggies I try to match up the puppy with
the owner.  For those direct shipping customers, I work with my breeder to
give you personality differences between the puppies you have to choose
from so that you can make the best choice when picking out your new dog.  
If you are choosing in person, once I have spent time with them myself I can
give you a good idea of the differences on the puppies you have to choose
from.  

I have tons of great information for you to help you learn how to prepare for
your new puppy.   Please be sure to read the info and training pages, 10
training tips, are you ready, worming information and more.  No one will give
you as much prep information as I do when preparing you for a puppy.

I have built this site myself, loading up new puppy portraits each time I
receive new puppies from my breeder.  The puppy portrait pages are a
great place to see examples of certain breeds.  Please keep in mind that
not every breed on my site is available, some are only to just show you what
that particular breed looks like.

My Puppy Portraits have been featured in, to name a few: Barron's Puggle
Book, Kennel Club Books Puggle Book, the Wall Street Journal,
Businessweek, Cosmopolitan, Bucks Magazine,The Chicago Tribune,  and
others.  I have also appeared with one of my Puggles on KTVU’s “Mornings
on 2” in Oakland California and The 10 O’clock News in San Francisco.  
You can see my
'IN THE NEWS' page which will list in detail where my
images have been!!  You can find this page from my
HOME page.

On this site you will find:
Puppies for sale  - Please see my Puppies Available Pages for Available
Puppies.  They are available for pick up in the Bay Area conveniently
located about 45 minutes from San Francisco. New pictures of each litter
are posted every 10-14 days so you can see how they are changing before
they actually arrive here in California for choosing.  You would place your
deposit and then choose the weekend they are here, the order the deposits
came in. Once you place your deposit I would then email you all the
information you need including a "Prep List" so you can then start planning
ahead for your new arrival.  For those of you needing a Direct Ship Puppy -
You would choose your puppy by photo, and it would be set up to be
shipped directly to the airport near you.  You would certainly have the best
help from myself and my breeder to give you the personality differences to
help make your decision.

Recognized Hybrids Page - This list will give you the 50 most common.

Breeder Page - where to find a breeder (since I am not a breeder myself
**This page is still in progress!)  In the meantime I can help you find the
breed you are looking for, either from my Breeder or I can refer you on.

Rescue Page -  Each time I hear from someone needing help in finding their
dog a home, or a puppy with special needs, I will post the information here.  I
also have a link to humane societies in your area.

Info and Training, Are You Ready, and 10 Basic Rules - Please be sure to
view these pages. They are extremely important and can be found from the
Puppies Available Pages.

Puggle Items - Currently you can purchase the Puggle Books on my
website.  The Barron's soft-cover book I am phasing out, only a limited
supply left, but the nicer hard-cover by Kennel Club Books is still available to
purchase.  Both books have my photographs in them.   I have offered
Puggle Calendars in the past, but beginning with 2009 I was not able to
make one myself.  Best now would be to search the internet for the Brown
Trout Publishers calendars, you will start to see my images more and more
in their calendars, while I am not able to do one myself.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and please email or call if you have any
questions!!
