Rigby's Doodles

Erika W.

Breeder of Goldendoodles

Meet the breeder

I'm Erika W., the breeder behind Rigby's Doodles located in Woodburn, OR. What makes us unique is that our dogs are moyen (medium)/small standard in size with unique merle coloring. We are a one-dog household and practice extremely responsible breeding, with a lot of love and care given to the puppies.

Q. & A. with Erika

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Erika grew up on a farm where her parents had many breeding animals - dogs, cats, and miniature donkeys. Breeding dogs was something that Erika always wanted to do, if it was responsible and well-done. After Rigby's health checks came back positive and she found a suitable breeding mate, we have now produced our first litter of puppies.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our puppies are smaller than most Goldendoodles - expected to be between 30-45 lbs at maturity. Also, the colors are very unique, with black merle and brown merle as well as solid brown and black puppies. We are putting all of our love and attention on one litter of puppies and their mom.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are medium size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include chocolate, black, and merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Good level

Rigby's Doodles reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Goldendoodles.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Ichthyosis, Golden Retriever Type 1, Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd), Neonatal Encephalopathy with Seizures (NEwS), von Willebrand Disease I (vWD I), PRA, Golden Retriever 2, PRA, Golden Retriever 1, DNA Disease Panel

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
