Breeder of Goldendoodles

Meet the breeder

I'm Rachel B., the breeder behind Cedar River Kennel located in Wittenberg, WI. We have been breeding Doodles and a few other breeds such as Labs and Shishpoos for over 10 years. All of our pups are raised around other dogs, cats, and kids! Some of our previous puppies have gone to be service dogs and even search dogs. When finding homes for all of our litters we carefully pick who we believe will be the right fit for that individual pup.

Q. & A. with Rachel

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I did business with a bad breeder a long time ago and my dog died because of the lack of care to the quality of the pet. After that terrible experience, I was dedicated to becoming a good breeder.

  • What makes your program special?

    We guarantee our dogs and provide breeder support for the life of the dog.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    My wife and I have been looking for a new best friend for a while. Eventually we found Rachel on gooddog. Rachel is great. She answered all of my questions and in a timely manner, also gave weekly updates with pictures and videos until our new best friend was ready to come home. Just from her responses you could tell she was a good person. We are so glad to have found her. Thanks to her we finally have our new best friend. Her name is Cookie, a goldendoodle, a handful, and a treasure to have.

    We are so grateful we chose this breeder. From the very first message, they were knowledgeable, transparent, and genuinely care about their dogs. Our puppy came home healthy, happy, and well-socialized with all the appropriate health records and guidance. The puppy was raised in a loving, clean, and responsible environment. We couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend!

    We have had our new puppy for a little over one week. She is very settled in and a very happy, confident girl. It is obvious she was well exposed to activity of the household for she never shows any anxiety of noises and can sleep through family action. She has great poise and has already learned come, inside and sit. I believe Rachael has a good system of breeding and managing her pups that is clear to us.

    From day one which was literally 2 days after the pups were born, Rachel and I built a solid relationship. She was always willing to answer questions and was quick to respond to any of them... As buy a puppy is never well should never be a quick and super easy decision she was there to help make the process comfortable and was more than helpful in regards to letting me hum and ha about if i should or shouldn't, lol... I am grateful for my little guy that I pickup which is a very healthy boy, beautiful and full of character... I would and already have recommended Rachel to friends and family that are looking for puppies especially the breeds that she works with... Thank you Rachel... and look forward to our relationship growing as my pup does...

    I would highly recommend working with Cedar River Kennel to adopt a puppy. Rachel was amazing to work with throughout the adoption process. She answered our questions quickly and thoroughly and provided helpful tips for our first few days with our pup. I especially loved the basket she put together for us when we picked him up. The pictures and videos were also so appreciated while we waited for our pickup date. We are so grateful for the care and love Rachel put into raising him. It truly shows in how well-prepared and socialized he was when we brought him home. He was comfortable with new people, adjusted quickly to our routine, and clearly had a wonderful start thanks to the time and effort she invested. We’ve had our pup for just over two weeks now, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. He has gorgeous red fur and looks exactly as described. He has truly joined our family, and we can’t imagine him not being a part of it. He adjusted quickly to our home and is eating and playing like crazy! Our adult dog has even learned to jump on the couch when he’s had a little too much puppy time!
