Meet the breeder

I'm Linda M., the breeder behind Northwoods Goldendoodles located in Webster, WI. Our 29 years breeding experience has allowed us to save our best dogs from long lines with great temperaments and health. We are thrilled to place them into loving families. Our puppies are started on crate training and potty training. We do a short training with you to get you off to a good start.

Q. & A. with Linda

Why did you start breeding?
We began breeding Goldens in 1995. In 2004 we changed to Goldendoodles, and smaller Goldendoodles in 2008. We have kept our best dogs from our long lines to be our breeding mamas. This has been my full time job for 28 years. We are present at the birth, and even sleep next to the puppies for the first few weeks to make sure they get the care needed from the very beginning.
What makes your program special?
We have long lines of great temperaments and great health. We have done complete Embark testing on all of our breeding dogs, as well as OFA for hips, elbows, and Cardiac.
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 cream, apricot, red, phantom, merle, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
