Meet the breeder
I'm Tara N., the breeder behind Coal Country Doodles located in Holden, WV. We are a health and temperament based breeding program for high quality, trainable, non-shedding, mini to petite Goldendoodles.
Q. & A. with Tara
Why did you start breeding?
After getting our first mini doodle, Daisy, to train as a therapy dog for anxiety, we fell in love with the special quality these dogs possess to connect with people! We knew that more people needed to have mini golden doodles as wonderful as our Daisy! I spent over two years researching and planning my program before we began breeding.What makes your program special?
We are looking to provide happy companions for loving homes. We put extra care and time into our puppies. Our dogs live in homes and are pets first and foremost. We use ENS and Puppy Culture to train all of our puppies to make their transition into their new lives as seamless as possible. And we guarantee healthy puppies for 2 years, and stand behind it!What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include petite and miniature sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, apricot, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.

About Turkey/“Teddy”
Turkey is an F1b mini golden doodle from Daisy’s final litter.
Ruby, mom
Goldendoodle
About Ruby
Ruby is a petite mini F1bb, with strong dark red lineage, who is the most adorable little dog! Ruby is DNA cleared by parentage, and we can provide both parental Embark panels for you. She will either be bred with Walker Texas Ranger, or with a second stud we keep with another breeder—with similar colorings, health, and qualities as Walker—but smaller—about 12 lbs. Ruby is only 10 lbs right now. If she gets up to 14 lbs by 1.5 years of age, she will be bred on her next occurring heat. We will know between November 2019 and May 2021.
Darla, mom
Goldendoodle
About Darla
Darla is a mini F1b golden doodle with a wavy coat, and a great temperament! She is always ready to have fun, but loves a good snuggle. Darla has been DNA tested and is clear! Darla has had preliminary hip exams and has been scored GOOD. She will be considered a candidate for breeding if her heat takes place between 1.5 and 2 years of age—so, between November 2020 and May 2021. She will be paired with Walker Texas Ranger. Some of the pups will be (-/-) for curl, just like Walker Texas Ranger, if you like his look. NONE of these pups will be curly. All should be between 20-25 lbs.
Walker, dad
Goldendoodle
About Walker
Walker is an 18-lb butterscotch/blonde multigen mini golden doodle. He has a blocker face and head, and has confirmation more like that of a golden retriever than a poodle, but is small enough as a lap dog. Walker is DNA tested clear, and has had his OFA preliminary evaluation for hips as GOOD. Walker is (-/-) for curl, (F/F) for furnishings, and does not carry any shedding genes. Walker can be bred with a poodle or a Goldendoodle, and the puppies will all either be wavy/loose curl, or straight/wavy. Even thought Walker doesn’t have a curl gene, he isn’t completely straight-haired, it just means that he does not have hair that is easily matted and tightly curled. Walker is “ee” for color, so he will only produce cream/apricot/red pups with other “ee” dogs (all of my dogs so far are “ee”.......so that’s what we plan on producing). Temperament-wise, Walker is a smaller version of a golden retriever!—he is all kind of goofy, but wants to do nothing more than curl up on you and snuggle. He loves to play, and does everything he can to protect you from stray leaves blowing in the wind! Lol
Daisy, mom
Goldendoodle
About Daisy
Daisy is our foundation Dam. She is a red F1 mini, and an anxiety therapy dog. Great temperament, but she has put 3 litters in for us.......and I think she has earned an early retirement. 😊❤️🐕🐾🥰
Coco, mom
Poodle
About Coco
Coco is a female Poodle. Carefully selected as a great representative of her breed, Tara decided to make her part of their program. Tara has passed Good Dog’s screening process, which involved a review of their breeding practices, environment, and the mental and physical health of their dogs.
Parent health testing
Good level
Coal Country Doodles 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 Dysplasia (Preliminary)
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.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
Brucellosis
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, Full Embark Panel, DNA Coat/Trait 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).
