What You Should Look for to Choose the Right Goldendoodle Breeders

Are you planning to buy your first Goldendoodle puppy? There are so many excellent Goldendoodle breeders out there, but there are also some places that you should steer clear from. We know you’re already excited, so in this blog, we’ll illustrate what to look for to choose the right Goldendoodle breeders to pick out your perfect Goldendoodle puppy.

There are several things that you should be on the lookout for. This Goldendoodle breeder guide will ensure that your puppy is happy and healthy — and most importantly, a perfect match for you.

Here are some of the key factors to consider when evaluating Goldendoodle breeders. From ethical practices to the well-being of the dogs, ensuring a joyful and healthy addition to your family starts with making an informed breeder choice.

Good Goldendoodle breeders will ensure that both the emotional and physical needs of puppies, as well as their parents, are taken care of. When visiting the kennel or home, observe whether or not the area is clean, well-ventilated, and spacious. Good dog breeders should also be dog lovers, and you can clearly tell if someone is both or neither.

Good breeders care about the offspring of their parent dogs. Goldendoodles can inherit several genetic diseases from their parent Golden Retrievers and Poodles, such as hip dysplasia, sebaceous adenitis, and liver and heart problems. Your dog breeder should frequently have their dogs tested by professional veterinarians for any diseases that they might pass on to offspring.

They should not be shady. Good Goldendoodle breeders are honest and upfront. They should be comfortable answering all of your questions knowledgeably. The breeders should know everything to know about the dogs that they breed, including Goldendoodle’s common health problems, grooming maintenance, and dog behavior. Good breeders deal with future dog buyers with professionalism at all times.

Pet owners and breeders should agree to have a pre-existing warranty. Good Goldendoodle breeders will have a health warranty that will cover around two years. The warranty doesn’t mean you should return your pup as you would with a broken pair of headphones. Most warranties cover health expenses that your puppy might have during its early years.

To ensure a happy and healthy addition to your family, it’s vital to recognize the red flags associated with unreliable Goldendoodle breeders. In this section let’s highlight some of the warning signs to help you make informed decisions.

Deposits are typically around a few hundred dollars. If it’s more than that, beware. Some sketchy dog breeders ask for inflated deposits so that they’ll still make money even if the buyer backs out.

If the Goldendoodle breeder asks to meet you at a park or gas station, beware. If they don’t want you to see the home or kennel, they are probably hiding something. You must always see where the puppy was born and what its living conditions were like.

It’s always a good idea to ask to see the parent of your pup. Most dog breeders will own only one of the parents, and good breeders are open to introducing you to the mom or dad. Be wary if the dog breeder does not own either of the parents. Chances are, the Goldendoodle was born in a puppy mill, which is extremely unethical.
