Tips on finding an ethical breeder:

  The time & cost in producing quality health tested lines & the popularity of the Goldendoodle breed has brought about some uneducated breeders who are in this for the wrong reason. Poodles & Golden Retrievers have a number of health issues and if you buy from untested lines you have a very high risk of your puppy inheriting one or all of these genetic diseases. At the GANA Blue Ribbon Level, our breeding dogs have been tested & received health certifications for the following: Hips, heart, eyes, patellas, elbows, & genetic testing done through Embark, which screens for over 230 genetic conditions.
