Meet the breeder
I'm Callie O., the breeder behind Goldendoodles Forever located in Dubuque, IA. Healthy dogs are a priority to us. Therefore, each of our parent dogs are genetically tested and every puppy comes with a two year guarantee against genetic disease. Our parents also have OFA x-rays for the hips and elbows as well as eye exams. Our puppies are sold on a strict spay/neuter contract only and there is a screening process for applicants. We use proven techniques to raise our dogs, including taking critical steps during the first eight weeks of the puppies life to ensure we raise happy, socially successful, and easily trainable dogs.
Q. & A. with Callie
Why did you start breeding?
At Goldendoodles Forever, our passion for the good-natured and intelligent breed began five years ago when we first became Goldendoodle owners. It is our goal to breed dogs that promote the healthy qualities and cheerful temperament of the breed, while providing our clients with the best family pets, therapy dogs, and companions.What makes your program special?
We have lots of room for our puppies to play and run and spend a good deal of time outside with them, which they love! With our children, extended family, and friends, our puppies get an abundance of love, playtime, and socialization. This allows our puppies to be well adjusted so when their eight week birthday comes around, they are ready to go to their new homes.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include 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 cream, apricot, red, black, and phantom. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
