Q. & A. with Fernando

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My journey into breeding began with a love for dogs and a desire to share that joy with others. I started as a pet owner and quickly realized how much I valued the bond, companionship, and joy dogs bring to a family. Over time, I became interested in learning more about responsible breeding practices, health testing, and raising well-tempered puppies.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our program focuses on health and raising puppies in a loving home. All breeding dogs undergo OFA health testing and are carefully selected for temperament, ensuring confident puppies. Raised in our home with daily socialization and lots of love, our puppies are prepared to thrive. We also provide full transparency and lifelong support, sharing health records and lifetime guidance.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Goldendoodle puppies include medium and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Goldendoodle puppies include apricot and red. Golden Retriever puppies include dark golden and light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Good level

BloomingPuppies reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Goldendoodles.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Vet Wellness Exam

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • DNA Disease Panel

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

    Fernando was so responsible, very thoughtful, and great communication and multi texts, phone call to keep me informed & updated of blue-pup I was interested in. He sent me pictures of blue-pup numerous times. I had many questions and Fernando always kept in close touch and communication. I would highly recommend Fernando as a breeder to work with. I have a beautiful male puppy I purchased two weeks ago May 25 2026

    From the very first conversation with Fernando, we knew we’d made the right choice. Kai is an absolute dream of a pup, and Fernando made the whole experience so much smoother than we ever expected, patiently answering every question two overwhelmed first-time pet parents could throw at him (and there were many!!) Kai has turned out to be such a fast learner and the most loving boy. We would recommend Fernando to everyone!!

    Fernando was very responsive throughout the entire process. I could tell he truly cares for the puppies and ensures that they will go to a good forever home. I took home Oakley, and he has been wonderful. Oakley is a well-mannered, curious, and affectionate puppy. He has quickly learned potty and crate training, as Fernando promotes.

    Dealing with Fernando and his family was easy! He is very responsive to all of my questions and comments. I have a wonderful new puppy as a result.

    Fernando was so responsive and knowledgeable about her and the home she needed! They took the time to get to know me and made sure we were the right fit! The moment I met her we had a bond and puppyhood is going well. They kept in touch after she came home and you can tell they really care about their dogs! A positive experience on my end and Good Dog made the process easy to make sure everything was completed before this little one came home (:

    My puppy, Millie, is amazing! Fernando did a great job giving this sweet girl a fantastic start. She was potty trained from day one and her first night she hopped right in the crate and didn’t cry at all. She has a great personality and gets along really well with my other dog. She so much fun and everyone who meets her loves her.
