I'm Ashley R., the breeder behind Gentry Doodles located in Springfield, MO. Focusing on health and temperament, my goal is to produce puppies that heal hearts and bring joy to their families. With a knowledge of canine genetics, and carefully choosing our parents, we work to produce puppies that follow the standards laid out by the Goldendoodle Association of North America. Beyond that, we focus on producing soft, low to non-shedding coats, all the with the very best temperaments!
Q. & A. with Ashley
Why did you start breeding?
Good breeders are out there, but it can be challenging to know if you’ve found one. With my passion for dogs, and Goldendoodles in particular, I wanted to do things right, and share the journey on social media. I want the families who buy my dogs to know me, and exactly how their puppies are raised. That peace of mind is priceless. I want to be the best for my puppies AND their people.
