LICENCED GOLDENDOODLE BREEDER

We strive to provide healthy, well-socialized puppies with great temperaments, that have all the necessary components for being a great family companion. Our breeding dogs are raised with the highest ethical standards, health-tested, and temperament-tested.
We test each parent breeding dog for a series of genetic issues to help guide us in breeding healthy puppies. Zoe’s Doodles tests hips, elbows, cardiac and eyes through OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals), plus full genetic panels and coat traits on all our breeding dogs. Health testing ensures that we are providing exceptional healthy puppies to our qualified families so you can enjoy your new family member for many years to come.
We raise our puppies in a manner that promotes confident, social behavior. It’s important to us that you receive a healthy, well-balanced puppy, who has received the best start in life. Zoe’s Doodle puppies are born, nurtured, and raised in our home environment, where they are socialized with other pets and family members.
Early neurological stimulation (ESN) begins as young as three days old when puppies begin daily enrichment sessions. In addition to strengthening heart rates, decreasing blood pressure, increasing resistance to stress, and boosting the adrenal glands, these sessions provide numerous other benefits (such as improving their immune systems) which your Goldendoodle puppy will reap well into adulthood. In other words, we firmly believe in the health of our Goldendoodle puppies.
Included with your puppy, at the time of purchase, is a two-year genetic health warranty for any hereditary, congenital, or genetic defects that would seriously impact the quality of life/lifespan of the puppy. All puppies will go to their forever homes with age-appropriate vaccines, frequent de-worming, a registered micro-chip, and health exams.
We provide one-month free pet insurance with Trupanion.
All puppies are sold as companion pets only, with a strict spay/neuter contract, requiring them to be spay/neutered by 18 months, with the exception of our breeding puppies that go to our guardian homes.
Under each of our breeding dog’s individual profiles, we have listed the results of their tests. To help potential doodle owners further understand health testing, we have created an information page.

DownloadWe prefer the wire fold down crates for training in our home and the plastic dome ones for travelling. When bringing your pup home in a vehicle, we would recommend securing the pup in a crate, or being held by your co-pilot. For the home crate, we usually start with a 24” crate and move up in size. The 36” wire crate is usually big enough for our adult doodles and they are available with a divider, so you could start with this and adjust as your pup grows.
We recommend you invest in an exercise pen, baby gate and/or folding room dividers. Now, before your pup comes home and while you have the time, evaluate your room space and decide what you need to contain your pup. Your pup will want to be in the same room with you. We section off our home to make an area smaller to assist with potty training. If we are in the kitchen, so is our pup. That way, we are aware if they starts sniffing about, and can run our pup outside to potty.
TIP: Winners has great dividers in their pet section, and they are dog friendly! A great place to bring your pup for socialization and training.
Our preferred kibble, and the one your pup will be on when they go home to you, is TLC. We did our research and tested it out with our own dogs for a full year and we highly recommend it. We love it for many reasons but here are a few:
Here is the link https://tlcpetfood.com/nutrition/zoesdoodles. Use this coupon code to save an additional $5 (one time use only). If you are part of a present litter, I will enter your name and email into their system, and they should send a reminder to you a week or more before your puppy comes home.
You will need a brush (either pin or slicker), metal comb, small rounded tip scissors and nail clippers. Your pup has had their nails trimmed weekly starting at 2 weeks of age. We use human nail clippers to start with and go to the dog nail clippers around 3-4 months of age.
Finding a good groomer is important but routine brushing and trims are vital for keeping your pup safe and healthy between grooms. We use grooming as a bonding time for our pups. When we settle in for a family movie, we move to the floor and spend the time touching and stroking our doodles.
Chose a quiet time in your day for you and your pup. If they initially want to play with the brush, just smooth down their hair with the backside of the brush and always leave it on a positive note.
I urge you to keep this weekly routine of personal care for your puppy and to book an early 'introduction to the groomer' appointment. Most groomers really appreciate this initial time to ensure your puppy has a good experience creating the foundation for positive future relationships.
Probiotics or 100% pure canned pumpkin is a great source of fiber and creates consistency in a doodle’s bowel movement. We recommend one spoonful mixed with kibble twice a day for a puppy with diarrhea.
TIP: We freeze it in ice cube trays (like baby food) and store them in the freezer until we need some.
Insurance, a great idea especially for the puppy stage or first year. As a breeder, we have an agreement with Trupanion, where they will provide you with 30 days of pet insurance, completely free to you! We will enter in your contact information and all you have to do is activate it within 24 hours of picking up your puppy, either before or after. You do not have to provide a credit card or payment information. You receive a free month and one reminder to sign up, which is your choice.
We understand the excitement on puppy pickup day, so having the important stuff all taken care prior, can give you (and us) peace of mind and allow you to fully embrace the joy and excitement of your new family member.
Are you about to become a new puppy paw-rent? Have you been waiting for your new four-legged furry family member and it's finally happening? Amongst all of the excitement and nerves, don't forget to prepare your home for your new puppy's imminent arrival, making the transition from our home, to your home, as smooth as possible for our pups.
We have provided a checklist of essential items for your puppy and some tips above to help you decide which type of products to buy.
Your puppy’s first day with their new family can be a very stressful day for them. They are leaving their litter mates, and being placed into a new environment with new people. Your puppy may not eat or drink, and while this is normal, please make every effort to get them to drink water.
It is very important that your puppy not be stressed when you get them home. We ask that you comfort them so they feel safe and secure, but not too much! It is best for your puppy to remain at the your home until they have adjusted and settled into their new home before going out in public. Meaning car rides, visiting family, etc. It is recommended that all vaccinations are completed before walking on sidewalks or going to the park.
Please give your puppy a few days to adjust and bond with you before starting into any heavy training.
Enjoy your new puppy!
