We can't always predict accurately when a litter is due. Dogs' cycles are not always like clock work, so these dates are assuming that they will continue to cycle 6 months from their last cycle.

Gestation is normally 9 weeks and we keep the pups here 8 weeks before we release them to their new homes. That makes a little over 4 months from conception to going home. We take 5 deposits only per litter before they're born since litters can vary so much in size.

We think out pairings carefully. They're determined by complementing characteristics and the timing of the girls' cycles, amongst many other varying factors. Planned pairings are subject to change.

See our Choosing Process in the FAQ to see how our adoption process works.

Most times I can have a pup within 6 months for a family -- sometimes much sooner, and sometimes a while longer.

The marketplace has changed in the dog breeding world. Due to many factors we constantly have to evaluate whether we breed a mama that is ready to be bred or not.

In the past I've bred my girls every other cycle and when it's their turn to breed I've just done that and have never had issues selling them over the last 19 years. If you're interested in a potential litter in tomorrow's pups or just are willing to apply and get a pup when there is a litter suitable for timing and other qualities that are important to you, please contact us and apply! This will help us know better who we will breed in the future.

We're committed to our high quality standards and have developed our puppy program over the last 18 years which breeds puppies who flourish and have amazing potentials.

The plans listed below may change due to the girls varied timing of their cycles and the demand on my waitlist at the time of their cycle.

Fall litters: bred
Eliza and Derby for F1B mini goldendoodles. Due September 17 (just breeding at the time of this update).

Winter litters:
River and ? for F1 goldendoodles. We will breed according to demand for either smaller or bigger pups.
Polly and ? for F1B goldendoodles. We will breed according to demand for either smaller or bigger pups.
Groovy and Clark for F1B standard goldendoodles.

The pups can start going home when they're 8 weeks old. If you can't pick up your pup by 9 weeks of age, there's a boarding fee. See the Sales Agreement.

We have 2 F1 females (Cagney and London) who have just passed their tests, but we'll hold off breeding them this year and wait for next year unless demand increases this winter.

As much as we like to be in control and know when the dogs will cycle and conceive, we remain at the mercy of nature taking it's course in God's time. I only breed a female once a year and when it is her turn we breed her. They usually cycle every 6 months but this varies from 4-10 months.

There are also occasions such as "false seasons, false pregnancies, split cycles, low sperm counts etc..." that add challenges to our plans. Many times several girls will season/cycle at once, so we can have multiple litters at a time.

In saying this, I hope to increase your understanding and help you to realize that this is not a retail store, where we can order the exact item for the exact timing you need. It is often best to realize that your patience will pay off... we normally can have a pup ready for you within 6-8 months, but usually sooner depending on supply and demand.

Our most FAQ about breeding: how does it work when the boy is so much smaller than the girl? :)

Answer: We artificially inseminate. Although there is a lower success rate we get a variety of sizes, which on occasion gives us pups as small as the sire or as big as the damn. Normally the range is 20-40 lbs for a mini poodle crossed with a standard size golden retriever. Not all girls conceive easily and those ones I tend to leave with the bigger males for natural copulation.
