Question

Does anyone have a rec for a goldendoodle breeder? (Note: we've adopted from the pound before, but can't do that this time with 3 young kids. ) Thanks in advance.  

Answer 1

The Paw Pad Doodles! Best puppies ever. I know so many people who have gone through them. We have a toy golden doodle who is 1 today. Ours is on the right and my sister has the one on the left. They are brothers from the same litter. Best dogs we have ever had. Also, Paw Pad Doodles work directly with a trainer (if you choose) so the puppy would go right from the breeder to the trainer for two-three weeks of training. Two weeks gets you house and crate training. Three weeks gets you basic commands. So worth it! (Breeder located in Peoria)

Answer 6

My dood’s dad is having babies in June, take home in August  super nice people. And I love our boy! He’s the best. We’ve fostered 6 dogs in the past year also. there was a couple we would’ve adopted but the timing wasn’t right(it was before our resident dog passed and I was pregnant with number 4) a couple other were aggressive with my kids, so we went to Safe route with a breeder since we have 4 little ones, and couldn’t be happier  There’s also a doodle rehoming page on fb. They sometimes do come across puppies in our area! But like a lot of puppies in rescues, hard to get as they go fast!

His dad is same coloring, the mom has cool markings. Very curious to see this litter!

@peacock Lauretta’s dog is the best! I’d look into the place where she got him.

We got our 2 from Hilltop pups in Jasper, IN

Answer 9

Hilltop is hands down the best for Goldendoodles. I’ve trained hundreds of Goldendoodles. B and C also has very nice Goldendoodles. I really would not recommend pawpads. You can pm me for details.

Looks like she sells her pups to pet stores If they don’t All find homes.  

---

@livvie4945 I’m not sure about that. I just know there’s always a waitlist and I’m on the waitlist since early April.  

---

@kerb3 Not saying your future pup won’t be great, but make sure you are getting a Health guarantee with it too. Thankspically breeders Who sell to pet stores are not reputable. Care about one thing only ($$$) and not the health and happiness of their pups. Not trying to be rude at all, I promise! I just looked to see her puppies and found it right away on her page.

I understand, I can only speak for what I know and I could be wrong. As far as I know the puppies goes straight to the families or maybe posted at the AKC website but for the most part they are getting adopted by families and friends.
