I'm Paula R., the breeder behind The Bluegrass Doodle Co located in Vinton, OH. All of our puppies are raised in our home. We feel that daily interactions are very important for the puppies. At only days old we apply Early Neurological Stimulation. We then continue using various protocols that have been proven by fellow breeders using years of research.
Q. & A. with Paula
What makes your program special?
We begin with genetic health-cleared parents that have mentally sound temperaments to produce our puppies which are intelligent, highly trainable and eager to please.
Pups receive vaccinations from our Veterinarian, and are dewormed at regular intervals.
We also work on crate training and house training before going home.
They’re groomed on a regular basis with emphasis on ears and between toes.
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 and apricot. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Good level
The Bluegrass Doodle Co 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 (rDVM, not registered)
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.
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).
