Our dogs and puppies are part of our family!

Q. & A. with Anita

  • Why did you start breeding?

    For almost five years I have always been helping my aunt with her labradoodles, I would drive 30 min to help her wash, groom, welp puppies, train and prepare them for their new homes. I fell in love with these dogs and wanted to have my own. After tons of research, help and some experience, I got my first poodle from Mary.
  • What makes your program special?

    We are very dedicated to what we do and what we are trying to achieve as breeders. We work with passion, heart, and integrity, and we truly want what's best for our breeds. It would be our pleasure to introduce you to your next cuddly companion!
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies include petite, miniature, and medium sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include apricot, red, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Good level

GoldendoodlePaw 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.

  • Elbow Dysplasia (Preliminary)

    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.

  • Ichthyosis, Golden Retriever Type 1, Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd), Neonatal Encephalopathy with Seizures (NEwS), von Willebrand Disease I (vWD I), PRA, Golden Retriever 2, PRA, Golden Retriever 1

    Anita was attentive from the very beginning until the moment I received my puppy, and the whole process went smoothly. Even when I made a difficult request in the middle, she handled it well. Since this is my first time raising a puppy, she kindly shared tips and information on how to care for one. She was truly kind, and if any of my friends ever decide they want a puppy, I would definitely recommend Anita as a breeder.

  • Irina K.

    Verified owner · Aug. 2025

    Anita was the best! She was very responsive and took the time to show me the puppy’s parents and explain her entire breeding program. My puppy was raised on a service dog curriculum, and you can absolutely see the difference it’s made. He also received early neurological stimulation (ENS) and early scent introduction (ESI) from a young age. Now, he’s a confident, social puppy who isn’t timid or fearful in public. It’s clear that Goldendoodlepaw put a lot of intentional work into his development, and I’m so thankful for the great foundation they gave him.
