COME  &  MEET:

OUR WONDERFUL PARENTS

We believe healthy parents make healthy puppies. Heritage cannot be overstated. Like the familiar saying goes, “you reap what you sow.” Because of this, we make sure our parent dogs are healthy and happy. 

 

  • Our parent dogs have been genetically tested through Embark, ensuring that there are no known genetic issues that could be passed down to the puppies.

  • At two years of age, all dams and sires have cleared their OFA screening for hips & elbows, and have been vet cleared for cardiac & knees (patellas).

  • While they differ in personalities, their basic temperaments are mid-line and fit the typical Goldendoodle profile: smart, affectionate, loyal, and friendly to both humans and other pets.

If you are unfamiliar with genetics, please feel free to contact me with questions. All of our dogs will produce genetically sound puppies.

CURRENT MOMMAS

Chloe   o   Dani   o   Mishka   o   Tori

CHLOE

F1B Mini Goldendoodle   --   34lbs

What’s not to like?  Chloe is an even-tempered, happy, natural beauty.  As all of our other girls have their eyes rimmed in black, and Chloe does not, we like to say she is a natural beauty without “make-up.”  And she is beautiful. Her head is a deep red color, fading back along her body to a dark apricot.  Her coat is wavy-curly and soft, and her body is well-balanced. She is graceful, with long legs, and a very ‘regal’ sit.

When she plays, rather than always retrieving balls and toys, Chloe likes to be a bit of a tease.  Her favorite thing is to bring the toy close and then try to entice one of the other girls into a game of keep-away.

Like all our moms, Chloe loves to sit in a lap and be cuddled.  She even makes little happy noises when you find an itchy spot.

DANI

F1B Medium Goldendoodle   --   42lbs

Our beautiful girl Dani is a daughter of Josie, and has inherited her athleticism and love of snuggles and laps. She’s the most playful of our mid-size moms and loves to play with any puppy once it is safe and they get big enough to interact with an adult dog. She loves a good tussle, but is also super gentle and tender with the puppies. Most of the time she lays down and waits for them to “pile on!”

We like to say that Dani chose us. Her name morphed from Houdini to Dini to Dani due to her ability to escape her pen in order to join us. She outsmarted us at every turn, and would run into the living room to declare that this was the best game ever! “Can we do it again?” 

She is spunky and adorable, snuggly (as much as a 42 lb dog can be), very trainable and obviously figures things out.  She figured out how to work her playful ways into our heart and family and loves to be reminded of how much we really love her.

Dani’s coat is wavy-curly and is dark apricot/light red in color.  Her build is athletic, more square, with long, graceful legs.

MISHKA

F1 Mini Goldendoodle   --   38lbs

Mishka's name means "Little Bear," and that is what she is. Her personality reflects the image of a teddy bear - sweet, tender, and lovable. Her physique reflects that of a real little bear.  Mishka is solid, muscular all over, and is surprisingly fast! When a ball is hit in her direction as she is usually the victor. She also learns very quickly, and is very intelligent.

Mishka is very respectful and loyal.  She desires companionship and loves her attention but will entreat you tenderly by sitting at your feet, beckoning with her eyes, and patiently waiting for it.

Mishka’s coat is soft, wavy, and apricot in color.

RETIRED MOMMAS

Pippa   o   Rayna   o   Josie   o   Tessa

PIPPA

Petite F1B Goldendoodle

Pippa is where we started!  She came as this cream colored ball of fur with eyes that could see right into your heart!  Her greatest desire was to simply be where her people were.  She loved meeting new people but was happiest when (not sure how she did it,) she levitated into our laps, or simply leaned against us…it earned her the nickname of - "Pippa-leana." Her special place came after we adopted three children, and she became that confidant and living security blanket so often needed during times of adjustment.

Pippa was an excellent momma and blessed us with five litters of beautiful well-tempered puppies.  When not tending to puppies, she loved chasing a tennis ball until we were tired.

RAYNA

Standard F1 Goldendoodle

This puppy stole my heart, so I stole her! (Not really. Honest!)  

 

Linda (Northwoods Goldendoodles) was trying to decide where to place this tenderhearted, silly puppy. One day after caring for her dogs, I took Rayna aside to get to know her better. I was instantly taken - hook, line, and sinker! I loved her! And I didn’t know what I was going to do if she couldn’t become part of my family. (Such drama!) I “casually” mentioned how I really liked her and her bigger size, all the while hoping she’d take the hint and place her with me. 

 

Rayna is the result of God’s blessing and the blessing of my dearest friend.  She came to live with us and has also produced five beautiful litters.

Even though retired, Rayna is still silly and “talks” to me while an ever-present companion.  She loves winter and is my snow-shoeing buddy.

JOSEPHINE

Standard F1 Goldendoodle

"Josie" is not an easy dog to sum up.  She is sensitive, goofy, athletic, smart, determined, adaptable, mindful, tenderhearted, and without reservation, the best momma we’ve had.  Josie actually blessed us with six litters (we normally stop at five) due to her great health and love of being a momma.  She has also stepped in to be an auntie to two other litters (yes, supervised) as the real mommas trusted her and she loved it so.

 

Her pastimes include (like most of our dogs) chasing a tennis ball and is our designated deer chaser.  As we open the front door, she enjoys the thrill of the chase, but always stops at a boundary we did not teach her.  But I think one of her favorite things is pretending. She weighs almost 70lbs, but 'pretends' she is one of our minis and crawls into our lap every time we sit down to read or watch a movie.  She has definitely produced the most laughs in our home.

TESSA

Mini F1B Goldendoodle

Tessa was our little prancing-pony girl.  She would always saunter into a room curiously wondering what adventures awaited. She loved new toys, games and situations. In relation to our other girls, Tessa was more independent and seemed to find ways to entertain herself. Outside, she loved chasing a tennis ball, but would then venture off to explore “new lands” after beating out the other girls in the chase. (She was fast!) Inside, when the “reading chair” was occupied, Tessa loved to sit quietly at your feet, waiting patiently for permission to come up onto your lap.

 

Tessa had just two litters, one of 4, and one of 10 (!!). Her puppies were beautiful, and she was a good momma, but it just didn’t seem like she loved being a mom. And we want our mommas to love what they do.  Because of this, and her independence from the other dogs, we felt Tessa would ultimately be happier in a smaller family. She is now part of a small family in eastern Wisconsin.

TORI ANNONI

F1 Mini Goldendoodle   --   28lbs

Tori is our photogenic happy child.  It is rare to not see her with a cute pink tongue hanging out and a “smile” on her face.  She loves to be in the presence of her people, is very loyal, and carries a bit of independence in her.

 

Tori is an explorer both inside and outside. She loves to play seek and find games, and to snuffle about on the property searching for treasures. She does love the chase of a tennis ball, but is the smallest of our Minis, and often chooses not to compete. (We often play independently with her and Rayna giving them a better chance at the ball.)

 

As of 2024, Tori has had four adorable litters and is an excellent momma.  She takes great pleasure in her pups and smiles with pride.

 

Tori weighs about 28 lbs, has more of the retriever shape, and has a light apricot colored, wavy-straight coat.
