We currently do not have any puppies available, but take a look at our Upcoming Litters page to see when our next pups will be arriving!
The deposit is $300 and is deducted from the price of the puppy. Your deposit reserves your spot for puppy selection. The deposit is Non-Refundable! Be sure you are ready to commit to a puppy. Your deposit can be moved to future litter for up to one year from the date of the deposit.
If you decide to select one of our adorable puppies you can contact me via phone or email. If we mutually agree that a puppy is the right fit for you, I’ll promptly email you a questionnaire along with deposit details. Keep in mind, your spot is only secured once I receive both the deposit and the completed questionnaire.
I only allow visitors that have placed a deposit and submitted a completed questionnaire. The visit occurs at puppy selection. I understand you want first-hand knowledge about me before purchasing a puppy. That is why I include testimonials on the website and Instagram testimonials. I encourage everyone to contact any of these customers directly. Most have visited and met me. Additionally, I have a Google page where many of my customers have left reviews. I am also verified on my Instagram and Facebook pages to ensure you are working with a reputable person. Also, I am very transparent about my dogs and puppies. Health testing is listed for each breeding dog in my program.
The puppies are selected in order of deposit. Selection is made in person, if possible, typically the Saturday closest to the sixth week birthday. This allows the puppies to develop personalities and physical traits become more apparent. If you can’t visit in person pictures and weekly videos are provided.
Yes!!! This is such an exciting time, and my customers love this process! We offer a very personalized experience from birth until pickup. You will receive pictures within 36 hours of the arrival and every week on the puppies weekly birthday. I receive so many positive comments from customers about how much they enjoy this exciting experience!

If you need to leave your puppy for an extended period, you can enroll them in a 1- or 2-week basic training program, provided there is space available. Since space is limited, I recommend to reserve early. I use Highland Canine, and the pricing information is below I will be responsible for getting the puppy to the trainer at Highland Canine.

I recommend QT Pet Transport or Fuzzy Fur Baby Flight Nanny Service, as they hand-deliver your puppy to most major airports. Additionally, the cost for this service is approximately $600-$900, depending on the location. Please note that I do not set the price for the puppy nanny and cost could change without notice.
Your puppy will come home with a blanket with familiar scents to provide comfort, along with a toy, a trial bag of food, a puppy binder and helpful puppy tips. The binder will include a birth certificate, executed contract, microchipped puppy with lifetime enrollment included, up to date vaccinations and deworming record, and 30 days of free insurance. In addition, before you pick your puppy up, you will receive training materials and a supply list to ensure you are fully prepared.
Yes, temperament testing is completed on every puppy prior to puppy selection. Temperament testing is performed by Highland Canine. They are highly respected in the dog training world.
The mini doodles will have a higher energy level than the larger doodles. The mini doodles will require more work initially but will calm as they mature. Medium/Standard doodles take longer to mature and are more expensive to maintain-grooming and food. Overall Goldendoodles and Bernedoodles are very social dogs and love people and other animals.
F1 is a first generation cross. The puppy is 50% English Golden Retriever and 50% Poodle. These are considered to be light shedders but are allergy friendly for most people. This cross is considered to be the healthiest.
F1B is a backcross of an English Goldendoodle and a Poodle. The puppies are most likely to be non-shedding and allergy friendly. This cross produces a mix of coat types-shaggy/wavy coats and curly coats. You can identify the coat type by puppy selection.
Multigenerational Doodles result in a more consistent mix compared to earlier generations. Multi-gen doodles are bred for specific characteristics like low to non-shedding coats, desirable temperaments and coat type.
The most obvious difference between the two retrievers is the color of their coats. The English cream golden retriever is what makes our teddy bear goldendoodles so irresistible.
American Golden Retriever: The AKC describes an American Golden Retriever’s color to be “rich, lustrous golden of various shades”. Breeding standards do not accept colors that are extremely dark or extremely light. This would mean that judging of the acceptability of color is, to an extent, left to the judge’s discretion.
English Cream Golden Retriever: The AKC describes the English Cream Retriever to be of the shades of cream and to some extent gold. We do not accept mahogany or red colors.
There are certain health differences between the American Goldens and the English Cream. American Goldens have a significantly higher chance of getting cancer as compared to English Creams. This is based on research and statistics done. The median age of American Goldens is 10 years and 8 months, while the median age for English Creams is 12 years and 3 months.
Compared to American Goldens, English Creams have larger bones, bulkier builds, and blockier heads.
These are just a few examples of the differences in the American and English golden retriever.
There is not a major difference in male and female doodles. Males tend to be larger. Much like humans, females tend to enjoy receiving affection, while males often prefer to show it. Both are family friendly and make amazing pets.
Doodles have hair, not fur, so shedding is minimal or non-existent. To maintain their coat, you should brush them regularly and schedule grooming every 6 weeks to 3 months. This depends on your activities and preference.
Doodles are allergy friendly. There is really no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog.
My doodles will be low to non-shedding.
Doodles usually live an average of 10-15 years.
Yes, you must have your puppy spayed or neutered by the time they reach 12 months of age. I require proof of spay/neuter by the time the dog is 14 months of age. Puppies are adopted as pets only.
We do blood screening as well as a full panel of Genetic testing to ensure their health. We also thoroughly test them through the OFA for hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, inherited eye diseases, and congenital cardiac conditions. These tests are posted on the parents page with a tab for each individual dog in our program. If a test result is not found on the page with health testing It will state it is pending and will be added to the dogs profile as soon as the test is performed. Testing is performed at different ages determined by OFA.
We guarantee all of our puppies for one-two years against heredity disease and hip dysplasia.
Yes, I believe pet insurance is important. Accidents can happen!
I recommend Trupanion Pet Insurance. When you pick your puppy up , I will give you a code that you will enter that allows you to skip the waiting period and get immediate coverage. You can contact them at (855)266-2156. trupanion.in/breederofferus
Every breed is susceptible to certain health conditions or diseases. Just like humans, dogs can inherit health conditions from their parents. Responsible breeders make an effort to lessen the likelihood of their puppies inheriting these issues by health testing their breeding dogs for heritable conditions and making informed matches when breeding. Health testing for Elite Goldendoodles and Bernedoodles includes OFA- hip, elbow, eye and cardiac certifications as well as a full Genetic health panel and a trait panel to make informed decisions about paring dogs.
Health testing is a vital part of a responsible breeding program like ours here at Elite. We, as breeders, use health testing to identify risk factors in potential breeding dogs, it can significantly reduce the likelihood of many conditions appearing during your dog’s lifetime. Performing the proper health test is key, but it’s just as important to understand how diet, exercise, and environmental conditions can affect your dog.
