Meet the breeder

I'm Janelle G., the breeder behind Golden State Good Dogs located in Concord, CA. We produce beautiful Poodle and Bernedoodle puppies. We focus on health, pedigree, color, and size to offer the perfect pup! We raise all of our dogs with love in our home. We use ENS (early neurological stimulation), Puppy Culture Protocol, and are using the Badass Breeder Protocol. One of our previous puppies "works" in a high school. We have high expectations for our puppies and make sure to place each one in an enriching and loving home!

Q. & A. with Janelle

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We initially fell in love with Goldendoodles and Poodles. Our dogs have proven to be incredible, loving companions, and we wanted to share that experience with others by producing healthy, happy puppies. It is so fulfilling!

  • What makes your program special?

    We care deeply about our dogs and puppies, and we do everything we can to ensure they get the best lives possible. That includes everything from choosing healthy parents with good temperaments, to proper socialization and daily care, to placing them in loving homes with wonderful families. We strive to provide each of our puppies and their families with a truly positive experience!

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Bernedoodle puppies include tiny and mini sizes. Poodle puppies include toy, miniature, and moyen sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Bernedoodle puppies include brown, tri-color, phantom, blue merle, and merle. Poodle puppies include apricot, black, brown, cafe au lait, parti, phantom, and brindle. Goldendoodle puppies include red, black, and merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

Getting a puppy from Janelle

Janelle has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Janelle partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 6 weeks old.

“We help match families with their puppy at around 6 weeks old so we have better knowledge about their personality, temperament, and size. This helps ensure that your puppy is a good energy match for your home rather than choosing solely on appearance. Families select their puppy in the order they place a deposit. Puppy picks can be done in-person in Concord CA or over video chat based on your preference & location. ”

Price

Puppy prices include a $500 non-refundable deposit and between $2,000 - $5,500 final payment, before taxes & fees.
Pay over time with Klarna.

“This includes their first puppy shot, veterinary examination, microchip, a small bag of food, a toy, and a 1 year genetic health guarantee. This amount will count towards the purchase price. If you are unable to complete the purchase of a puppy, you may transfer the deposit one time to a future litter.”

Contract & health guarantee

Janelle may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Janelle offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Janelle directly.

All contracts are handled securely through Good Dog.

    My fiancee and I picked up our goldendoodle Beau from Janelle. The entire experience was seamless, stress free, and exciting to say the least. Janelle was extremely responsive, prompt, and clear about everything. You can really feel how knowledgeable she is and how much she cares about her puppies! Thank you Janelle for our baby Beau!

    Janelle responded quickly to my inquiry about Carly and answered my questions at the meetup, and after I got Carly home. Carly is healthy and was well cared for by Janelle. She gave an accurate description of Carly's personality as an adult dog and it's made the transition and adjustment easier for both of us. Carly is sweet and mellow, with some spunk. Her personality is coming out more each day. She's adjusting well to her new home and is a true delight.

    Janelle was a perfect example of a breeder who cares about their pups, willing to answer any questions and go the extra mile to have the adoption go smoothly.

    Janelle was the perfect dog breeder to work with. Quick to respond, very helpful, knowledgable and just a pleasure do deal with. The Good Dogs site was very helpful in the process of finding a dog. Two minor complaints, unrelated to Janelle, are that their fees are a bit high, in my opinion, and I can't for the life of me unsubscribe from their emails after we got our dog. They seem to ignore my notification settings.

    Janelle was absolutely amazing to work with! She was so kind and patient with my questions about Pine, and made the entire process easy and rewarding. Our family is so grateful for all her support and care for Pine, and truly having the best time with our new family member! Thank you Janelle for helping to make my sons dream come true, and helping to make our family complete.
