Upcoming & Planned Puppies
Dharma and Sailor - Medium F1b
Dharma, our medium f1 Goldendoodle (daughter of Willow and Champ) will soon be bred to Sailor, our Purebred Standard Poodle stud. These two have had two previous litters which turned out even better than we expected. If you are waiting for an F1b Goldendoodle, this is the litter for you!
Kaya & Bernie - Purebred Golden Retrievers
Kaya, our blocky-headed English Golden Retriever, who is beautiful inside and out is in heat and being bred to Bernie, our Purebred Golden Retriever stud.
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.
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

Referrals from our Puppy 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.
