My sweet Ellie bug got fixed yesterday and we got to pick her up today. Midway Veterinary Hospital has taken such good care of her! She is officially retired ❤️ We are getting ready to head to TJ Maxx to pick her out a new bed to lay in while shes recovering. Isn't she Beautiful? 😍

Alright everyone... I need to know your interest. I have had a LOT of inquiries asking when I would be having another litter of Intense Red Goldendoodles. I am "thinking" about pairing Hank and Lily together for a do-over! These babies would be mini to mini-medium in size and would likely be intense red tuxedos (red with white markings). I will post pictures of their last litter in the comments. Please let me know ASAP if you would like to be on our waitlist. This will determine if I pair these two together OR skip her heat cycle.
As you know, we strive to be ethical with our breeding practices and need to make sure if we have a litter they will all have wonderful homes to go to prior to breeding them.
Puppy pictures from their last litter will be in the comments🥰👇

Almost 5 months old and only 5.3lbs... The vet said she doesn't expect her to be more than 7lbs full grown🫶🫶 This little Tiny Toy Goldendoodle has stolen our hearts❤️

Good morning! We have had an overwhelming amount of messages regarding the puppy I posted. There is no way i can individually get back to everyone that has inquired. My inbox is slapped full with over 100 inquiries. This is a puppy I bred and the owners reached back out to me in a bad situation needing help. I would never turn one of my puppies away but will always try my best to do whats right. We found her forever home yesterday and I delivered her to her new owners. I'm SO thankful there are so many great people that were open to taking this baby into their home! My heart is full!❤️ Thank you all!

There is a good chance with the doodle market being so saturated that we will be taking a longer than normal "pause" on breeding any of our dogs. I do have the option of having a litter of "red" goldendoodles soon but would need to get a waitlist with small deposit going before breeding anymore. I would NEED to make sure the majority of a litter would have homes BEFORE I would pair them... Please understand that this is the ethical thing to do and I just want to make sure we are breeding with purpose. We are a hobby breeder, this is not a full time job for me and it is not about pumping puppies out for money. In fact, if you do it right, there's really not a lot of money made doing this. My kids and I just enjoy raising puppies for others to enjoy. That's it. No hidden agenda.
I also support adopting... our local shelters are full of wonderful animals, but I understand that adoption is not for everyone which is why we still do what we do. With all of this being said, we may be looking for guardian homes for a couple of our dogs soon and you may also see us downsize a couple of our adult females into early retirement in New homes. If this is something you may be interested in, you can message me and I will get back to you as soon as I know our plan.
Thanks for reading my long post! ❤️❤️❤️

Due to the unpredictable market, many ethical breeders are taking "a pause" for a cause.

We are not encouraging or supporting "backyard"/ill -intentioned breeders. We are not throwing away our hard work and dedication either. But we might be moving forward a little bit differently.

Ethical breeders do have to keep a pulse on the market. That is just the reality. And when things change, we have to adapt.

However, adaptation is not lowering standards. It is not slashing our prices so much so that we cannot keep our high standards of care and health in our lines.

There is a big difference in having to adjust pricing to match the economy (keep in mind we are paying the higher prices for all of our care, supplies and dog food too) and be part of the reason why the market is tanking to begin with.

I will not lower my standards nor will I overproduce and drop pricing to a point that my dogs are not afforded the care and standards they have now.

What I will do, is reduce the amount of puppy availability we have.

I am a big believer that in every situation, we can choose to see only the negative or we can choose to see the good.

I choose to see the good. This reduction/short term pause gives me to time to spend with my teen children. It gives me time to really evaluate my mission and my goals and ensure every dog in the program is meeting the highest of standards. It gives me time to reflect and work on personal growth. It gives me time to remember who I am too...

Raising puppies is a 24/7 hour commitment and so many breeders feel isolated, lose themself, do not have enough of themself to go around and ultimately suffer from burn out.

By taking a pause and or reducing our program a little bit to match the market, that is an ethical thing to do. It will also give time for veterinarians, groomers and trainers a chance to get caught up as well. Covid's puppy panic buying really did a number on our dogs. Shelters and rescues are feeling the effects of the puppy surge as well.

Our dogs deserve to be brought into the world with the highest of standards, committed families that have the time, money and dedication to give to them and have breeders that are valued and respected.

I am so proud of your commitment to continue doing what is best for our dogs in whatever that means for you right now.

Maybe you don't have to change a thing. Maybe you take or have taken a year off. Maybe you just reduce your program a little...or a lot. Maybe you haven't decided yet because these decisions are just damn DIFFICULT.

And that is ok too.

🚩UPDATE:🚩
She has found her Forever Home!🥰

🌻PLEASE SHARE🌻
Good evening everyone! I have a very special scenario that I am asking for your help with... I am getting an almost 8 month old puppy back tomorrow that I sold back in February. Due to some unforseen circumstances, her owner can not keep her (and neither can I). She is golden in color, fully potty trained, and the sweetest girl you'll ever meet. She is a Mini Goldendoodle. If you are interested there is a small rehoming fee that will apply.
We also have a couple of adult dogs that we are retiring that will need new homes. Message me if you're interested in a quality goldendoodle for a fraction of the cost!! ❤️

And THIS is why Hank doesn't stay clean.... He's our best boy, our handsome stud and... a FARM DOG through and through! Lol! Always dirty but living his best life. This dog LOVES the water 💦💦💦

Our beautiful Ellie got pampered after all those puppies went home. She's feeling a little more like herself now🩷🩷🩷🩷 She's missing a pink bow but she's still the most perfect thing! 😍Thank you Happy Dogs for being the best groomers to our babies!

🌼Miss Daisy🌼
This little spitfire had her 2nd round of shots yesterday and spent the day riding around running errands with me. She's such a good girl and doing great on her potty training so far. She was only 6lbs at 10 weeks old!🤯 She is by far the tiniest Goldendoodle we've ever had. Hard to get use to how tiny she is! 🥰

We are looking at possibly putting Hank into a Guardian Home. He is still a very important part of our Breeding Program and will continue to be, but we have decided it may be best (for him) to put him in a loving home (away from our females). Constantly being around rotated females in heat is driving him crazy. Lol. We are going to be VERY VERY picky about who he goes to, because this person will also become a very important part/partner of our program and working closely with us. Hank is a VERY loving boy. He requires a moderate amount of exercise and would do best in a family with a brother or sister dog(s) to play with.
THERE IS NO UP FRONT COST FOR HANK! Just the normal upkeep of the dog (food, water, grooming, vetting would be your responsibility).

Requirements:
1.)Fenced in yard
2.) If there are other dogs in your home they will need to be spayed or neutered prior to him coming to live with you.
3.) Will need to live within a 20-30 min radius from us
4.) New guardian will need to be WILLING AND ABLE to travel to bring him to us when necessary.

Please send me a private message if you would like to read over a copy of our Guardian Contract to see if this is something you would be interested in doing.

More info will be in the comments regarding what our Guardianship program is.

Lemme see!! I'll post mine below 👇👇👇🥰

If you recently got a puppy from us, please make sure your puppy has either already had or scheduled their 2nd round of shots. They are due for them now. Be careful taking them out to parks, groomers, stores, or public places until they have had all of their shots. Parvo is very scary and dangerous to puppies. This is just a reminder! I love those puppies, give them a hug from me!❤️

We hope that everyone has a Happy and Safe Independency Day weekend!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️

🥳🥳🥳 Guardian Home Opportunity🥳🥳

If you’re looking to add a sweet Goldendoodle into your home, but you’re not wanting to break the bank, this is an excellent opportunity for you!!

What is a Guardianship Home❓️❓️ Read more below:

As breeders our number one priority is maintaining an ethical program by ensuring our breeding dogs are pets first and foremost. We believe each dog deserves a loving pampered lifestyle in a forever loving home.

Utilizing the guardianship program allows us to continue growing our breeding stock while proving families the unique opportunity to be an important part of our program with numerous benefits to all involved.

Our guardian females will live exclusively with their guardian families with the exception of whelp (delivery) and raising her puppies. That will happen at my home in our puppy nursery. The entire process will be 7-9 weeks per year. She will do this up to 3 times and will then be spayed at my expense. Once she is spayed she is officially retired and will live the rest of her life with the guardian family!

Our males will need to stay non-neutered and be available when we have a female in heat. It will be required to meet at my house for 2 to 3 days in a row to pair with our female and he can either stay with us during that time or be brought over for visits and then taken home.

To qualify for our guardianship program, we require you to live within 1 hour of our home and be willing to meet for exchanges of the dog.

We understand this is a unique process for all involved.
If you are interested in being a part of our Guardianship program, we would be happy to send additional details, requirements, and availability.
