I'm Dawn G., the breeder behind Gastineau Doodles located in Mountain View, MO. As a breeder, I feel a sense of responsibility to prioritize the overall health and temperament of each of my puppies and to ensure that they are loved and well cared for prior to joining their forever homes. It's an amazing feeling knowing that I made a positive contribution to these dogs and the families who love them!
Q. & A. with Dawn
Why did you start breeding?
It has been an absolute joy of a journey. We began this journey after purchasing our first Goldendoodle for my daughter. It was instant love. Although my Goldendoodle momma has recently retired I plan to add Goldens back into my program in the future.
What makes your program special?
I am very dedicated to what I do and what I aim to achieve as a breeder. I work with passion, heart, and integrity, and I truly want what's best for all of my puppies. I raise my babies in my home, introducing them to many things for a well socialized puppy. It will be my pleasure to introduce you to your next cuddly companion!
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include chocolate and cafe. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Dawn was amazing to work with and we’d adopt another puppy 1000% times over from her. When contacting Dawn about adoption, she was willing to FaceTime my family multiple times so we could meet the dog and establish a relationship with the puppy!
She was flexible to work with and provided us with food, a toy and all documentation needed for our puppy.
Since we adopted our puppy, he’s been a hard worker and an easy learner. You can tell he had an established routine with Dawn. Along with the attention she gave each puppy, she also reaches out to make sure the puppies are adapting well to their new lifestyle.
Please consider Dawn for future use. She’s amazing and has been a blessing to our family!

Dawn was amazing!!! She was so responsive and able to FaceTime us with our future puppy. We met up with her very easily and were able to get our puppy 2 days after first getting in contact with her! We are so inlove with our sweet puppy and couldn’t be happier!

Dawn was amazing in making this transition smooth & simple! I was just browsing one night not intending to make a purchase until I stumbled onto this sweet lil girl Maple, formally known as "Cady" & fell in luv instantly! After putting in a request Dawn responded immediately with picture/vids, info about her & what I would need to do to move forward. Since I've had Maple she's brought nothing but joy & excitement to our home! I can tell she's been cared for, trained & most importantly loved! She's so playful, sweet, & smart, everyone that encounters her on our walks just adores her. I'm so happy I have her & can't wait to experience greater things with her as she grows. I'm so grateful to Dawn for giving my lil princess a great head start on life!

So easy to work with. Everything about the experience in purchasing a dog from them was excellent, they go above and beyond.
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
