Meet the breeder

I'm Crissy L., the breeder behind Montana Goldendoodles located in Great Falls, MT. We offer healthy, beautiful dogs for a lifetime of love. My dogs are bred for health and temperament. We have service, therapy as well as seizure and diabetic alert dogs, and simply amazing family pets. Our puppies are raised to be well-socialized and well-matched for their families. Goldenoodles are a truly special breed!

Q. & A. with Crissy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I've had animals of all sorts all my life. I have raised horses, pigs, kittens, rabbits, and puppies. I have a desire to not only spend my days with animals, but to match puppies to their families so they are paired to complement each other in the life they live together.
  • What makes your program special?

    The tender, loving care and constant gentleness in a calm yet active learning environment is one thing I love about my program. I truly love the curriculum and socialization practices I incorporate. I'm hands-on, fully attentive, and loving every minute I have with each litter. I want only the best for my breeding dogs and puppies. I understand puppy developmental stages and honor each litter accordingly in our stimulation, 10 step handling, and challenging approaches.
  • 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, chocolate, and parti. 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 Crissy

Crissy 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.

Crissy 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 7 weeks old.

“At MTG, puppies are placed by using a temperament evaluation. I administer this test once puppies are at least 7 weeks old. I DO NOT know which puppies are available until placement is complete. After the evaluation has been completed on all puppies and scored accordingly, each family on the reservation list of that particular litter will receive the video and score card to view themselves. I place calls to each family according to placement on the reservation list and assist families in choosing a puppy. Together we discuss puppy options that will not only match the family to the puppy but honor the puppy as well. The final decision is for the family to make, I guide using my experience and knowledge. By the time we complete the temperament evaluations, I know the needs and wish list of the families on my reservation list. I have had amazing success using this method and look forward to placing a puppy in your family!”

Price

Puppy prices include a $300 non-refundable deposit and between $1,700 - $2,700 final payment, before taxes & fees.

“The price includes puppies raised with Empowered Breeder, 3 rounds of dewormer & first vaccines at their go-home vet visit, puppy packet, 1 free month of Trupanion, discount at Baxter & Bella, and a healthy well-socialized puppy with a lifetime of support! There are circumstances that I will refund a deposit, though it's stated on my site that it is non-refundable.

    We feel so lucky to have added such a beautiful, confident, and sweet goldendoodle to our family. Crissy was responsive, transparent, and truly dedicated to giving her dogs the best in care and providing puppies with socialization and gentle handling from day 1. I deeply appreciate knowing our puppy came from a dedicated and ethical breeder who makes sound recommendations regarding veterinary care and puppy raising. We look forward to adding another one of her pups to our family in several years.

    Crissy was incredible through and through. The images, videos and temperament evaluation were very helpful as we have 19 month old twins. Our puppy Penny is thriving with the entire family and we’re so grateful to have met Crissy and her pups!!

    Crissy was great to work with. It all came together in less than one week. We lost our 7 year old Golden (Sam) on 2/28 to kidney failure and Lymphoma. He had two chemo treatments and the lumps disappeared after the first treatment. The kidney disease caught all of us by surprise and we lost him about two months from diagnose. Our other 7 year golden (Holly) was his half sister, 11 days older was seriously grieving. We decided to look for a new partner for her and I happened upon gooddog.com. Initially I was looking for another Goldie, but my wife wanted a Goldendoodle. After looking at numerous breeders I found Crissy's site and was impressed with her experience with the breed. After initial contact was made she was extremely helpful explaining the program. She had a dark red male available and we decided to move forward. White collar (River) has been a great pup after 48 hours and as he has gotten more comfortable he has turned into quite the rascal. My Goldie gets along will with him after she set a couple of boundaries and they have become good friends. Crissy's description of his temperament was spot on! I would highly reccomend Crissy for your puppy needs.
