Frequently Asked Questions

My goal as a breeder is to breed the dog that best suits your lifestyle, no matter his or her coat color. I understand everyone comes to want a goldendoodle for different reasons. Maybe you've seen a floopy eared doodle walking down your street. Maybe your best friends sister has a doodle with the sweetest puppy smile you've ever seen. I want all that and more for you. I want the dog with not only the eyes that look into your soul, and floofy tail that wags when they see you. I want even more to breed the heart dog that enriches your families lives because their temperament best matches your families lifestyle. I know there are hundreds of breeders out there and I am happy to have you as part of our pack! 

"Temperament has been defined as an animal’s personality, makeup, disposition, or nature." -AKC

I specialize in breeding Standard Goldendoodles. Truly my passion is liver points (brown noses) but I occasionally have a litter with black points. 

Typically my goldendoodles puppies are sold prior to breeding or birth. Joining a Reservation List early ensures your spot on a litter and secures your selection order

This is where my breeding program takes a pretty big divergence from many other breeding programs. My goal as a breeder is for you to take home The Goldendoodle of a Lifetime. The puppy that is best suited for your family's lifestyle.  Any breeder can sell a cute puppy, I want more for you than that. I want a puppy that weaves into your life with ease.  All puppies are work, hard work, just as infants and toddlers are challenging. However the joy that is found with a dog who checks all your personality boxes will far outlive the cute puppy stage. 

1. Have a paid Reservation. 

2. Enjoy the private sharecast where you'll see all the behind the scenes.

3. Come to Litter Visit Day at 6 weeks.

4. Learn more about each puppies temperaments at 7 weeks.

5. Match with your puppy at 7 weeks in order of reservation received. 

All the dogs in my program have passed  OFA: hips, elbows, cardiac, & eyes. They also have clear DNA testing relevant to both parent breeds (golden retriever and poodle). 

These results can be found under my MAMA & PAPAs section 

*I also require this level of testing from any outside stud I use. 

I do a mixture of Puppy Culture and BAB protocols for both Mama and Puppies. Some of the highlights include:

• Socialization - Sound Desensitization - Exposure Activities - We use a mix of Bad Ass Breeders puppy curriculum and Puppy Culture. Puppies are exposed to normal household sounds, smells, and activities. By exposing the puppies to a variety of items and challenges at a young age they are able to build confidence. It also supports nerve strength resulting in them becoming a less fearful adult dog.

• Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) - Early neurological stimulation (ENS) has been proposed to enhance the natural abilities of dogs. This kind of stimulation involves subjecting pups aged between 3 and 16 days to mild forms of stimulation leading to “stress,” and is said to lead to faster maturation and better problem-solving abilities later in life.

• Early Scent Introduction (ESI) - Early Scent Introduction (ESI) is performed in conjunction with ENS on the puppies from day three thru day sixteen. A pungent scent is introduced to the puppy each day for short intervals. Their reaction to the scent is then recorded. 

I wean my litters onto a raw diet for their first taste into solid foods. The current research show that the significance this makes to the gut microbiome is unmatched.

Now get REAL nerdy

My breeding dogs are fed a combination of kibble and raw. I believe in the Good, Better, Best method of feeding. Just like humans dogs need a variety of foods.

I currently feed PawTree & puppies will go home eating this kibble. 

Yes, all goldendoodle puppies come home with first round of puppy vaccines DA2PP.  They will need to see your Vet up to 3 more times before they are fully vaccinated.
