Upcoming & Planned Puppies
Tesla and Champ - Medium f1 Goldendoodles
Tesla, our wonderful, smaller Golden Retriever has been bred to Champ for a repeat performance of their previous litters. These two dogs make amazing puppies together, and it's a good thing, because Tesla will not breed with any of our other males. Their puppies usually range cream to light red in color. Their puppies were born on September 27th, 2020 and will go home at 9-10 weeks of age.
Kona and Champ - Medium f1 Goldendoodles
Kona, our small, sweet English Golden Retriever has been bred to Champ for her first litter of puppies! She's a loyal and loving girl, so we are sure she'll be an excellent mother. Her puppies are due in early-mid October, 2020 and should range from cream to light red in color, be medium in size, and have wonderful temperaments. They will go to their new homes when they are 9 weeks old.
Delta and Bernie- Goldendoodle x Golden Retriever (f1b)
Delta, our f1 English Goldendoodle (daughter of Lotus and Kebo) has passed all of her health tests and has a wonderful, calm, loyal temperament. She has been bred to Bernie, our Purebred Golden Retriever stud. The puppies are due mid-late October. This will be the litter for everyone who asks for a "Goldendoodle who is more Golden Retriever than Poodle." We will be selecting potential new dogs for our breeding program from this litter. The remaining puppies will be available to approved homes when they are between 9 and 14 weeks of age, at our sole discretion.
Crystal & Bernie - Purebred Golden Retrievers
Crystal, one of our beautiful English Golden Retrievers, has been bred to Bernie, our Purebred Golden Retriever stud. This pregnancy is still unconfirmed as of 10/7/20. If a litter is produced we will be selecting potential new dogs for our breeding program from this litter. The remaining puppies will be available to excellent, approved homes when they are between 9 and 14 weeks of age, at our sole discretion.
Purchasing a Puppy - The Process
GUIDING PHILOSOPHY
Our priority is finding the best family for each puppy,
and selecting the best puppy for each family.
SIGN-UP PROCESS
We keep a pool of approved families as well as a pool of families who are interested in applying for a puppy. These families are not listed according to when they got on our mailing list (below), when they applied, or when they were approved. Our process is unique, and it works!
PUPPY PLACING PROCESS
When we take reservations on a litter of puppies (usually when they are about 3 weeks old), we send an email to ALL of our approved families, asking who wants to reserve a puppy. When there are more interested families than puppies, we gather together, review the applications and select the families best matched to the litter at hand.
Frequently, there are puppies remaining after this first step. This is when we open the application. We send a link to everyone on the mailing list, and anyone else who inquires. Next, we gather to review the new applications. From those approved, we select families and take puppy reservations. Any approved families who were not able to reserve a puppy are then placed on our approved list for future litters.
PRIORITIES FOR PUPPY PLACEMENTS
We give special consideration/priority to the following types of homes:
Returning Acadia Goldendoodle Families

Training your Goldendoodle
COVID-19 UPDATE:
Because most puppy classes have been cancelled, and it can be difficult to train your puppy on your own, we have partnered with Baxter and Bella, an outstanding online Puppy School. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND this for our first-time puppy families, and anyone who wants a really well-trained dog. Purchase BEFORE you get your puppy so you'll be prepared.
