I'm Betsy C., the breeder behind River Bend Goldendoodles located in Dublin, GA. It was love at first sight for our Standard Poodle (Dixie) and Goldendoodle (Merle). Both have the sweetest personalities and loving natures. We only have one breeding pair which ensures we provide attention, socialization, training and snuggles to each puppy we rear.
Q. & A. with Betsy
What makes your program special?
From day one our puppies are raised in our home to ensure they are well adjusted new members of the family. Each puppy will be exposed to kids, household noises, and daily snuggles. We believe this helps each puppy develop to the fullest to be happy, secure, and easy going pets.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include medium and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, apricot, black, and merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Merle
Merle is our resident goof ball. He is a four year old F1BB Goldendoodle (DNA test available) who loves to play with anyone who will throw his ball (or any toy for that matter)!
The big boy has such a sweet lovable temperament. He is great with kids (young & old), dogs, cats, and even our resident goose!
Dixie, mom
Poodle
About Dixie
Dixie is our three year old Standard Poodle. She is as sweet as they come. She is beyond patient with our three little ones (1yo, 7yo, & 9yo) and loves to show off her puppies to anyone that comes for a visit. She has a very laid back, easy going temperament. She is on the smaller side when it comes to standard poodles standing at 20inches high at the shoulders and weighing between 35-40lbs.
Her happy place is right by your side getting some love and scratches.
