Meet the breeder

I'm Rhett B., the breeder behind Farmstead 51 located in Blue Springs, MO. We find great joy in providing happy and healthy puppies to loving and caring homes. Our dogs are pets first and foremost.

Q. & A. with Rhett

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We wanted one litter of Golden Retrievers and after numerous breeding failures, meetings with veterinarians, research and talking with other respected breeders, we learned that there was a gap between responsible breeders and reproductive veterinarians. We worked to create a great team of advisors and veterinarians and then started our breeding program in 2011.
  • What makes your program special?

    We focus on health first, temperament second and color/size third. We work to educate our future Farmstead families about the responsibility of dog ownership, the special things about each breed and work to find them the right puppy for their needs.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Goldendoodle puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Golden Retriever puppies are golden. Goldendoodle puppies include cream and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    "Rhett and Farmstead 51 were the best breeders that I have done business with! Not only were they super fast with their responses, but they gave information that new dog owners like me would need to know for raising our new pup Oakley. I could not be happier with the service and the new best friend that I have gained from Farmstead 51!"

    Rhett was very responsive throughout the entire process and answered any questions I had. She was available for a FaceTime to meet the puppy since I couldn’t make it in person, and was able to arrange delivery to Omaha which made things super convenient. I am very happy with how things turned out and am so glad Meadow is home and doing great!
