How We Raise Our Goldendoodle Puppies

At Portland Goldendoodles, we are a small, dedicated breeding program in Portland, Oregon, where we have raised multiple generations of our Goldendoodle parents and grandparents in our home. Our dogs are not just breeders—they are beloved family members. Well-socialized, highly intelligent, and loving, our Goldendoodles are raised with exceptional care, ensuring they develop great temperaments and strong bonds with people. Our medium-sized Goldendoodles typically weigh between 35–55 pounds when fully grown.

We are passionate about raising healthy, well-adjusted, and emotionally stable puppies. Active enrichment is a key part of our program, allowing our puppies to experience new sights, sounds, and textures at appropriate stages. Unlike many breeders, we never use garages, barns, or kennels—our puppies are raised in the heart of our home, surrounded by love and constant human interaction. Using the Puppy Culture method and temperament testing, we provide hands-on care 24/7, ensuring early socialization and positive development.

To help our puppies smoothly transition into their new homes, we introduce them to various stimuli, noises, and surfaces to promote adaptability. We begin potty training early, teaching them to use piddle pads and gradually transitioning them to a doggy door for outdoor training. When weather conditions aren’t ideal, they still know to use piddle pads indoors. Additionally, our puppies are taught essential commands like sit, come, shake, lay down, and roll over through voice and body language training, starting as early as three weeks old.

We carefully screen potential families through an extensive application process to ensure our puppies are placed in the best homes. When they are ready to leave, each puppy goes home with a contract for their protection and a comprehensive “puppy pack,” including toys, food, treats, a leash and harness, a blanket, poop bags, and much more.

Goldendoodles, a hybrid of the Standard Poodle and Golden Retriever, are known for their intelligence, affectionate nature, and suitability as family pets or service dogs. They thrive on human companionship and are cherished for their gentle and loving temperament. At Portland Goldendoodles, we are committed to raising exceptional dogs who will bring joy and companionship to their forever families.
