Creating the Perfect Dog
.png)
A Healthy, Happy, And Safe Environment
We are located in rural Virginia Beach. We live on over 6 1/2 acres of land so our dogs and puppies get plenty of fresh air and exercise. We all enjoy lots of nature and many beautiful sunsets.
Over 45 years we have occasionally bred our own personal dogs including; Bouviers, Corgis, Dobermans, and Golden Retrievers. After raising our two boys with Dobermans, we discovered Standard Poodles. We loved their intelligence, agility, and non-shedding. After some diligent research, we discovered GOLDENDOODLES.
We began breeding Goldendoodles in 2003. We kept a Goldendoodle from our first breeding. She is the famous….Shenleigh O’Doodle! She has become an ambassador for the breed! We have established ourselves a top reputation for producing smart, happy, healthy, well-structured dogs with great temperaments and intelligence. We earned the distinction of being listed as recommended breeders at the worldwide website Goldendoodles.com.
Health & Structure
The health of our dogs in so important!! We feed our adult dogs top quality premium dog food made by a company called TLC. We supplement their diet with fresh meat, raw bones, organ meat and healthy supplements, including NuVet. We continue this high standard of holistic and natural food with our pups by feeding them food which is free of fillers, GMOs, and chemicals. We have many holistic tips and hints that we share with our puppy families with the goal of a healthy start and lifestyle for your dog. We use the ENS (early neurological stimulation) protocol with our newborn puppies to support & enhance early development. Our pups are examined by our vet when they are 3 to 5 days old. We litter train our pups in addition to providing them with lots of outside playtime and housebreaking basics!!! Our pups are sold with a health guarantee for hip dysplasia, a structurally debilitating disease, progressive retinal atrophy, and also von Willebrand's disease, a blood clotting disorder . We provide you with a written 1 year guarantee on your pup. All of our pups have a head to toe wellness exam before leaving our home.
Our Goldendoodle puppies are raised with our family. They are born and nurtured in our home. We begin socializing our pups starting from day one. From the moment we whelp our pups, we work with them to be confident, smart, and trusting family members. We use ENS (early neurological stimulation) with your newborn puppy. This helps with growth and development of your pups immune system, cardiovascular system, and stress intolerance.
Temperament
We raise our Goldendoodles as part of our family in preparation for your family. We have had many of our Goldendoodles become therapy dogs volunteering in some of the local schools, hospitals, and nursing homes. You will find quite a few Virginia beach Goldendoodles participating in the Buddy Brigade at our local Children’s Hospital! Some of our dogs have become service dogs to help their owners with life skills and support and many many of our dogs have become emotional support dogs (ESA) bringing daily happiness to their owners.!! There is nothing like the love of a Virginia Beach Goldendoodle!!! The bonds that are created between our dogs and their owners and families is spectacular and a perfect example of mutual love ❤️❤️❤️. We work hard on housebreaking as we provide lots of outside exercise and daily play. We litter train our pups inside to help them learn the difference between their sleeping area, playing area & potty area. In addition, we send our pups home with tips which include…crate training, housebreaking, grooming tips, recommended toys, and much more!
We offer a lifetime of support! We give you our email and phone numbers. We encourage questions and are glad to provide you with support and training tips…..All we ask is for pictures as we enjoy seeing our babies adjust to their families and grow up to be gorgeous Virginia Beach Goldendoodles!!!!
All about Goldendoodles
A Goldendoodle is a hybrid cross between a Golden Retriever and a Standard Poodle. They are a fantastic mix of two amazing and intelligent dog breeds. They are the perfect dog for many reasons:
-
They are very intelligent. The Standard Poodle is #2 on the dog smart scale & the Golden Retriever is #4
-
They LOVE people as they were originally bred to be therapy dogs
-
They are very easy to train as they want to please you
-
They have a gorgeous coat ranging from curly to wavy. They look like shaggy retrievers! The coat is very low shedding and has no dander so you don’t get the “wet dog” smell and they do well with people with allergies.
