This is Tuuli (blonde) and Kaino (golden). They are labradoodles out of Megan and Dawson. Juniper (seen below) is their sister. They live in Sudbury, ON. Kaino was the runt of the litter but now he is out growing his sister by about 10 lbs!
This is Beau. I donated her to Canines with a Cause. She will be trained and used as a seizure response and mobility assistance dog. Please click on the tab below to see Beau's progress.
Meet Chago and Lucho. They are siblings out of Mavis and Dawson. They are owned by Luis and Paula. The black goldendoodles look very similar to portugese water dogs.
Luis's sister also owns a goldendoodle from us his name is Rockie.
Meet Fletcher. He is owned by the McKinney family. As you can see Fletcher looks more like a retriever. You can get some goldendoodles that look like a poodle (curly coat with a long nose), some that look like a retriever (straight coat, boxy head) and some with a wavy coat. We are able to tell what they will look at about 6 weeks of age. If you have allergies it is better to get a dog with a wavy to curly coat (not straight). The doodles with straight coats will still shed less then a retriever. Please contact me to find out what coat type would be best for you.
Meet Edgr. He is owned by Matt and Monique Smith. They describe him as "absolutely wonderful, an amazing addition to our family"! He is 11 month old in this picture. You can see more photo's of him at www.petportraitpro.com
This is Stewie. He lives with Deanna in Toronto. Stewie is a labadoodle out of Megan and Dawson. He has a striaghter coat and will shed. If you have allergies or want a non-sheeding dog I would recommend getting a dog like Kaino (seen in the picture above). He is also a labradoodle out of Megan and Dawson but has a curlier coat and doesn't shed. We can tell what type of coat they will have at 6 weeks of age. This is when we decide which puppy would be best for your family.
Stewie at 9 weeks
Stewie at 6 months
This is Maple. She is a labradoodle out of Megan and Dawson. Stewie (seen above) is her brother!
This is Fitzgerald. He is quite the little sailor and is owned by the Downey's. Patti says that Fitz " Loves to go to the Marina and boat. He is a wonderful addition to our family. He is smart and minds very well. He loves people and children. We are thrilled with him and couldn't be happier. I hate to even call him a dog -he's a fuzzy person in our eyes! We thankyou from the bottom of our hearts."
Meet Caleigh. Her parents are Clea and Dawson. She is now owned by the Ridley family. Carleen says " Things are going very well and we love our little Caleigh. She is a sweetheart and is so good with our children. Thank you for helping us make such a wonderful addition to our family"
This is Ajax. His parents were Goldie and Dawson. Beth says " I can't tell you how much we love our dog, Ajax - - he is bold, smart, very handsome and quite funny. He loves playing with humans especially if the game involves soccer, fooball or "just trying to get your sock back" (his personal favorite). Thank you for giving us such a wonderful dog."
Look at that face "Silly puppy" and who say's doodles don't like the snow???????
This is Carly! She is a goldendoodle.
This is Misha and his little sister Gizmo. They are owned by Alex.
Alex says "Misha is now 65lbs, we had a ball with him over the winter playing on the ice while we skated. Boy, did he get a shock when the ice melted on the river in April, he couldn't figure out where all the water came from!!! By the beginning of June he was swimming and now we can't go for a swim without him jumping in after us. He is a real pet of the pack with his sister Gizmo (Mini Schnauzer) and his niece Boo (Rottie). Again, not to sound so much like everyone else but thanks again for such a wonderful pup! He has the best temperament of any of the seven dogs I've owned over the years, and I love him dearly!"
This is Tivo. He is a MINI goldendoodle. Tivo is owned by the Treisman family!! Margie says " We all LOVE Tivo. He is adorable, affectionate, rambunctious and charming. He loves to play and can be a rascal at times yet he is totally sweet and cuddly. He seems to be doing well with his training. Our daughters are crazy about him and he is quite good with both of them. He's also made a good impression on friends and neighbors"
Meet Takoda, she is owned by the Miller family. Tammy say's "Takoda is the most amazing dog.......I didn't think I could love a dog the way I love my children but I was wrong....she is so sweet and the smartest dog I've ever met. I taught her to ring the bell to go out since she wasn't whining or barking and it took me about an hour and a half. I thought it would take me a few weeks but in less then 2 hours she caught on and I've never had to remind her or show her again. I tell everyone I meet about you and the fact that you manage to breed prefect family dogs. Takoda is just as much a member of our family as each person. She lays with me every night on the coach or actually she lays on me since she thinks she is one of the kids. Takoda and my son Logan are extrememly close and go crazy when they can't be in the same room (if she's muddy). I know I have said it before but really from the bottom of my heart .........thankyou, thankyou, thankyou. People always complain about having puppies and all the work but Takoda hasn't been that bad at all and actually we often forget that she is still a puppy since she is so good... we are still working on a few things like jumping and digging up clumps of grass that she loves throwing
around but she is still a puppy. She has never chewed anything in the house except her toys....she has never growled or shown her teeth at anyone or anything. The groomer, the vet and the girls in the vet office have fallen in love with her. The vet always says she is the most beautiful, well tempered, smart doodle he has met. I believe without a doubt or moment of hesitation that you are the best doodle breeder in Ontario....we have met other family's with doodles and even though they are beautiful in their own way none compare to Takoda for her coat, temperament and intelligence!
This is Deezle. Vanessa says "Deezle, our big furball, is by far the fuzziest, sociable and friendliest pet we've ever had in our family. His goofy attitude never ceases to amaze us. From his morning cuddly mood to his late afternoon playful tease, he always manages to get our attention. You can't help to hug and squeeze him all day long!"
Meet Dash, he is a MINI goldendoodle and is one of Chablis and Elvis's pups. He lives in Quebec with Martina and her family!
Martina says "I want to say thank you so much for the amazing dog you choose for us. He simply is one of a kind! I cannot go to the park of any of my kids soccer games without being stopped the whole time. He is friendly, gentle and so loving. We have been dealing with a trainer who says Dash should be the poster dog for the training school. He is extremely intelligent and a quick learner and so handsome to boot! He is absolutley non shedding! again just perfect for us. Thanks again for the wonderful addition to our family."
Meet Bailey. She is owned by Gerry and Elaine Smith. Gerry Say's "First off, Bailey is everything and more than we had hoped for. She has an amazing disposition (she can get snarly, but that hardly lasts more than a few minutes when she doesn’t get her own way), she’s smart as a whip (too smart for her own good on occasion), and she has energy to burn. She was very quick to house train, and has only had a few minor accidents in the early going. She does not like her kennel, because she is so sociable and wants to be around us all the time. We are persevering, but it is hard at times – we know in the long run it will all turn out for the best, but when she looks up at you with those dark black eyes, your heart melts.
My wife, who was reluctant to bring a dog into the house, is in love head over heels with her. Her mother, who never had dogs for their family growing up, thinks she has a new granddaughter, and can’t stop talking about her to other friends. The folks at my office all want one, and are always asking about her. I have 3 neighbours who have tried to smuggle her away – and I learned all this in the first 2 weeks after we brought her home.
She has all had all her shots and smiled through them all – she starts obedience school next week, but she already knows Sit, Down, Stay, and while she ignores Leave it and No, we know she understands them all – she’s just a little mischevious and can’t resist a little rebellion from time to time. Her favorite activity right now is chasing (and catching) blowing leaves – she can’t have more fun than when we take her for a walk!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for making a dream of mine come true – Elaine tells me every day how happy I look when I come home or when I’m playing with her, or when’s she’s just sitting at my feet (Bailey that is, not my wife). It’s been a blast, and she has only been a family member for 3 months – I can’t imagine how we will feel at 6 months and longer."
Mulligan is owned by the Carter family in NWT! They also own one of my bernedoodles. Karla says "Mulligan loves the boat! And as I said before, he adores all animals. He babysits the guinea pigs for the boys (and he is good at it!) Plus he is best friends with our cat!"
Meet Madison. She is out of Goldie and Dawson. Her new mommy and daddy are Sarah and Mark. Mark and Sarah say "She has been amazing! We are sooooo in love with her. She seems to be potty trained, she goes to the door and barks when she wants to go. We can't believe how fast she is growing. We get stopped whenever we take her out, she is so cute."

Gryffin is owned by the D'Amico family. He is a bernedoodle. John says "We have been meaning to write you for some time now. Below are several pictures of Gryffin. The first is the picture that you had on your site when we picked him back in late 2007. You sent him to us on a plane in January of 2008 along with another little guy who went to a gentleman in Boston. We live in New Hampshire and Gryffin absolutely loves it here!!!!! I remember his father (Sven) from your sight who was absolutely breathtaking!
Gryffin is now about a year and a half old and full of spunk and fun. You use the word goofy on your website and that doesn’t begin to explain his nature. He is the most lovable pet that I have ever been around. He is very tall, probably 28-30” at the shoulders and weighs in at about 70-75 lbs.His favorite thing to do is chase down balls and run in the woods. We have some walking trails at the end of our street and he loves to run and swim in the stream that is there. He loves the outdoors and spends countless hours in the yard just exploring and laying in the sun. He is definitely a winter dog and loves to play in the snow.When we filled in the profile about the kind of dog that we were looking for, I’ve got to tell you that Gryffin has the perfect temperament and personality for our family.
Everywhere we go, people want to know what kind of dog he is. We take him to a local dog park and he has great time playing with a bernese mount dog. Thank you so much for bringing Gryffin into our home. He is absolutely GREAT!"

Mia is a mini english f1b goldendoodle out of Jada and Eddies litter! She is owned by the Muirhead family. Amy says " Sherry, thought we'd send some some recent pix of Mia.... She is so great!! We just love her! She's so smart and has a great disposition. She got potty training down super quick, which we're thankful for... :) And she's so good... she'll sit quietly at the back door and make one small little wimper sound... that's her signal that she needs to go to the bathroom. Then she sits quietly and patiently until we take her out. We have a dog that barks at her when she's in our backyard.... and she just sits there looking at the dog watching him... doesn't even bark back. She's so great. We are so happy we have her. Thanks for all of your help in picking out the perfect dog for us. " If you would like to email Amy to ask her more questions about Mia her email address is amy.muirhead@sbcglobal.net
Meet Chase. He is a tiny goldendoodle owned by the Patty family. Pam says "Chase is from Georgie and Star 11/08 Male #3 - he is a darling little guy that keeps us amused everyday with his silly personality! He finished his puppy kindergarten class and has learned how to sit, stay, lay down and come. He is very friendly to every dog he meets; he is a little shy when he first meets new people, but soon warms up. He loves the water....baths, sprinklers and a little kids pool - we are excited to take him boating this summer and have already purchased his life jacket. This little guy is fast - he can out run any two or four legged friends when they are playing in the backyard. He will be neutered in a few weeks and weighs 14 lbs. We are having so much fun with this little guy and love him so much....THANK YOU!" If you would like to email Pam to find out more about Chase her email address is ppatty7059@aol.com
Oli is a english goldendoodle owned by the Alain family. Angele says
"When we bought Oli from Swissridge Kennels in 2008, we bought more than a healthy, beautiful dog --we bought support for the entire lifetime of that dog. Even the best bred dogs require lots of training and dog psychology understanding, and that's where Sherry is exceptional. She is always available and eager to offer her experience and expertise, whenever we need it. Now Oli is quite the dog to start off with: stop-to-stare beautiful, healthy and hardy, smart and trainable, friendly to no end, portable and adaptable, mellow, and mostly very predictable. Sherry picked him especially for us, a family with a 4 year old child and who works all day. Oli hasn't been crated since he turned 1; he requires a normal amount of exercise; he doesn't wake us up in the morning; he knows well his commands; he can travel long distances in the car; he doesn't touch food unless permitted; he is great off leash; he has chewed very little (even as a puppy) and he is always happy. We have no regrets.
Oli's parents are Ali and Monty. Since goldendoodles look different depending on how they are groomed, I attached a few photos. If you are in the Ottawa area and would like to meet Oli, or if you would like to know more, please contact us at angele_alain@yahoo.ca. "
