Taking great care of our potential mamas begins 18 months or more before they have a litter. Our decision to purchase a potential mama or to keep a puppy produced by another of our mamas is 100% based on testing, testing, and more testing. We complete the stringent testing that allows our breeding dogs to earn gold level certification from the Goldendoodle Association of North America.

- Structure - 3 days before 8 weeks old

With due diligence, we select the best stud to pair with our carefully chosen mama so that the genetic details the puppies are born with are excellent. We only choose studs with the same strict health and structure qualities that we demand of our mamas.
