Hello Dainty Doodle families! We're so glad you're here. 

​

My husband and I were both raised around the breeding, training and showing of Golden Retrievers. After we tied the knot, we got our first Mini-Goldendoodle as a service-therapy dog back in 2004 when I (Lauren) was working as a speech pathologist.

 

We needed a dog that was smaller, highly intelligent, hypoallergenic, and non-shedding to work with my clients. 

 

We were constantly asked by clients, friends, and straight up strangers on the street for more info about our Mini-Goldendoodle.

 

We decided to take the plunge, and start breeding our own Mini-Goldendoodles - the right way! We wanted to give our future clients full support and the best opportunity to have a happy, healthy, and intelligent dog.

​

Many of our puppies have become service & therapy dogs - and we're so proud of that!

 

We raise our pups inside our home, in the foothills of Northern California, with our two children.

​

You can read more about what makes us different here, but this is the short version:

​

- We genetically test for issues before breeding

​

- Temperament assessments begin immediately after birth

​

- We administer and monitor vaccines

​

- Our adults receive their annual and ad-hoc vet exams (before and after breeding).

​

- Puppies examined by a vet multiple times before re-homing 

 

We like to place dogs with their owners by personality types and needs. We believe that having our breeding dogs in our home (not at "Guardian Homes") gives us the best knowledge of each dog's personality, temperament and health.  

 

This also allows our female dogs to give their pups the best example, and allows them to wean their pups when ready.

 

We also allow them to follow their mom in the process of learning potty training and socialization.  

 

We pride ourselves on giving each puppy the best start possible.

 

The puppies are born in our home, and raised - smack dab - in the middle of our busy, daily lives. This includes daily handling, socialization, children/puppy interaction, and puppy culture training.
