I'm Ronni M., the breeder behind Heart of River Goldendoodles located in Manchester, MI. I’m a nurse and mom of 3. Our Goldendoodle, River, is part of our family—smart, sweet, and amazing with kids. Our puppies are raised in-home with love, socialization, and early training. We can’t wait to match them with great families!
Q. & A. with Ronni
Why did you start breeding?
We fell in love with our Goldendoodle, River—she’s been the perfect family dog. Her temperament and intelligence inspired us to raise a litter and share that same joy with others. This is our first litter, and we’ve put a lot of love and care into doing it the right way.
What makes your program special?
Our puppies are raised right in our home, not in a kennel, with daily love, handling, and socialization from our kids. We carefully chose a health-tested sire and focus on temperament, health, and early training—creating well-rounded family companions.
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 cream, apricot, red, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

We had such a wonderful experience with Ronni Mason at Heart of River Goldendoodles! She was incredibly responsive to all of our questions and made the entire adoption process smooth and reassuring. After we placed our deposit, she sent us frequent updates and photos. On adoption day, she drove multiple hours to meet us and thoughtfully brought items from our puppy’s mother to help with the transition. We can’t recommend Ronni highly enough
