Meet the breeder
I'm Abby C., the breeder behind Abby Chaffee located in Ogden, UT. Our dogs are either full golden retrievers, golden-cocker mixes, goldendoodles, or a mix of goldendoodle/golden-cockers (mini golden retriever). All pups will come from parents who have been Embark tested and cleared and OFA tested and cleared. All pups will be under 40 lbs full grown.
Q. & A. with Abby
Why did you start breeding?
I first started breeding mini goldens after realizing that I wanted a dog who looked like a retriever, was low-shedding (because of the allergies in my family) and was smaller in structure, since big dogs can get overwhelming sometimes. I also heard about the golden retriever issues created via inbreeding and hoped to reduce that as well!What makes your program special?
My dogs will never live in a kennel. They'll never be cooped up without seeing people for 12 hours a day, and they will never live in a crate their whole lives. All of my parents dogs are health tested completely, go to retirement homes after breeding, and are on the best food. I require (by contract) all of my puppy owners to return a puppy to me if they can't take care of it, so that my pups will never end up in a shelter or pound.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include miniature and medium sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include silver, cream, red, merle, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.

Abby partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 6 weeks old.
“We do a temperament evaluation at six weeks old to get a good idea on the personality of each puppy before we do texts, emails, and facetimes with our families to find out what they want the most in a puppy and help them choose accordingly. We use our expertise to help them make the best decision possible based on what we have observed about the puppies. ”

Parent dogs
Teddy, dad
Goldendoodle
About Teddy
Teddy is an Embark and OFA cleared F1bb goldendoodle boy! He has 8/10 red genes, wavy coat genes, and completely black nose/paws/eyeliner. He is a very chill, mellow, almost lazy boy who is protective of his family and friends until you sit with him and give him pets... then he will trade us for a marshmallow. He is very smart, quick to learn new things, and eager-to-please! He weighs 11 lbs and is TT low-shedding.

About Darlin
Darlin is a F1 goldendoodle who carries the rare recessive gene (II) that makes her flat-coated (or unfurnished). Because of this, she is a mix of golden retriever and poodle, but has the looks and coat of a golden retriever. She is Embark and OFA tested and cleared, and she is only a carrier (1 copy, unaffected her and her puppies) of ICH, she is cleared of everything else. Darlin is 32 lbs full grown with CT moderate-shedding.
