I'm Stacey W., the breeder behind North Shore Service Dogs located in Duluth, MN. I breed top-quality, healthy Goldendoodles from my two service dogs. These are highly intelligent, easily trainable working dogs. I prioritize the overall health and temperament of each of my puppies and ensure they are loved and well cared for prior to joining their forever homes.
Q. & A. with Stacey
Why did you start breeding?
My father raised Poodles, so I was in the dog world from my first breath. Once I was older and attended college, I became interested in improving the overall health and longevity of life. The Golden Retriever is an old breed that is plagued by many genetic disorders and cancers. I feel it is my mission in life to better the health of this wonderful breed by cross-breeding with the Poodle.
What makes your program special?
My breeding program is special because both of my adults are first and foremost service dogs. They are highly trained and responsive to my every need. My dogs are highly intelligent, easily trainable, hard-working dogs that have been thoroughly health tested. They both come from pedigrees of service animals and/or hunting dogs.
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 are black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
