Frequently Asked Questions
-
The health and longevity of our puppies are our absolute highest priorities. Before any pairing takes place, our sire (Leo) and dam (Sophie) undergo comprehensive genetic health testing panels to screen for breed-specific hereditary conditions, including progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) and hip dysplasia. We strictly follow responsible breeding practices to ensure your future family member has the healthiest start possible. You can view our passing clearances right here on our website or on our verified Good Dog profile.
-
Our puppies are raised right in the heart of our home, not in an outside kennel. From day one, they are exposed to the normal, everyday sights and sounds of household life. We utilize early neurological stimulation (ENS) and structural socialization protocols during their critical developmental windows. This means by the time they come home to you, they have already been introduced to various textures, sounds, gentle handling, and a great foundation for crate and potty training, ensuring a confident and smooth transition into your family.
-
To ensure our puppies go to excellent, well-prepared homes, we require all prospective families to fill out our puppy application form . Once your application is reviewed and approved, you can join our reservation list by placing a deposit. Selection order is determined by the order in which deposits are received. We keep our waitlist families updated with regular photos and videos as milestones are hit, from pregnancy confirmation to birth!
-
Every single one of our puppies goes home completely ready for their new life. Your puppy pack will include:
A complete health record showing their up-to-date age-appropriate vaccines and deworming schedule.
A copy of the parents' genetic health clearances.
A sample of the premium puppy food they are currently eating to make transitioning easy.
A comfort blanket with the scent of their mother and littermates to help them settle in during their first few nights.
-
While Goldendoodles are famous for being incredibly low-shedding and allergy-friendly compared to standard breeds, no dog is 100% hypoallergenic. Because our puppies inherit a beautiful mix of the Poodle's single curly coat and the Golden Retriever's genetics, coat types can vary slightly from wavy to curly. They are generally excellent for families with mild to moderate allergies, but their low-shedding coats do mean they require regular brushing at home and professional grooming every 6 to 8 weeks to keep them mat-free and looking their best.
-
Yes, absolutely. Every puppy leaves our home with a formal contract that includes a comprehensive health guarantee against genetic and hereditary defects.

We are here to provide lifelong breeder support, whether you need advice on grooming routines, training tips, food transitions, or puppy development milestones. We love staying in touch and seeing our puppies grow!
