We are located in the heart of Southern California, serving families from Aspen, Coloriad and beyond. But the most important thing to know is that we are a family, not a kennel or a facility. We have five kids and a very busy, loving household. Our puppies are born and raised right inside our home, underfoot and in our arms. By the time they head to your house at 8 weeks, they’re already used to the "beautiful commotion" of daily life—the vacuum, the kids playing, and even our cats. We think that makes them the best kind of well-adjusted family companions.

Think of it as a head start for a great life. We don’t just "let them grow"; we follow a specific curriculum that includes ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) and confidence-building exercises. We want our puppies to be brave, smart, and intuitive. This early work is why so many of our dogs go on to be amazing therapy or service dogs, but honestly, it’s just as important for a puppy that’s simply going to be your best friend. It makes them calmer, easier to train, and much more connected to their people from day one.

Choosing a breeder is a big decision, and in a state as big as California, you’ll see everything from large facilities to backyard setups. Look for a California goldendoodle breeder who is completely transparent about health testing—not just a vet check, but actual OFA clearances for hips, heart, and patellas, along with genetic DNA screening. A reputable breeder should also be able to tell you exactly how the puppies are raised. Are they in a kennel, or are they underfoot in a home? At Windsong, we believe that being a "leader" in this breed means prioritizing both the science of health and the heart of a family-raised environment.

Raising puppies in a home environment, rather than a kennel, makes a world of difference in their temperament and transition. Puppies raised "underfoot" are naturally more intuitive and emotionally in tune with people. They arrive at your home already understanding the rhythm of a family—they’ve been snuggled on sofas, watched our kids play, and felt like part of a family from day one. This creates that "velcro-dog" bond and service-dog potential that Windsong Doodles are known for.

Socialization starts long before you pick up your puppy. You want a breeder who exposes their litters to the sights and sounds of real life. Our puppies are raised inside our home with our five children and our cats. They are used to the "beautiful commotion" of a busy household—vacuums, doorbells, and lots of hands-on love. This early exposure helps them grow into confident, unfazed adults who are ready for everything from a hiking trail in Colorado to a quiet afternoon on a patio in Scottsdale.

Health is everything to us. We’ve all heard the horror stories associated with "backyard breeders," and we go the extra mile to make sure that isn't us. We prioritize scientific integrity, which means every one of our parent dogs must pass their "big three" OFA tests (Hips, Heart, and Patellas) and full genetic DNA checks before they ever have a litter. On top of that, every single puppy we send home comes with a 2-year health guarantee. It’s about giving you that peace of mind that your new best friend is built for a long, vibrant life.

A legitimate health guarantee is only as good as the health testing of the parents. To find a breeder you can trust, ask to see their OFA and DNA results for their sires and dams. Because we put so much work into vetting our parent dogs, we are proud to offer a comprehensive 2-year health guarantee on all our puppies. It’s our way of standing behind our lines and giving our families peace of mind that their new best friend is bred for a long, vibrant life.

That’s one of the main reasons we love this breed! We specialize in that iconic "Teddy Bear" look—the blocky heads and the plush, wavy coats. Most of our puppies are F1B or Multigen, which are the best options for families who need a low-to-no shedding, hypoallergenic dog. While no dog is 100% allergy-proof, our lines are specifically bred to be very friendly for people who usually sneeze around dogs. You get that soft, "hug-a-cloud" feel and the "velcro-dog" personality without finding hair all over your sofa.

We would love that! While we’re based in SoCal, our "Teddy Bear" puppies have found families all over the West, from Aspen to Denver and beyond. We offer a wonderful "white-glove" flight nanny service where your puppy stays right with a real person in the cabin the whole way. Just keep in mind that since this is a personalized service, travel is an additional cost on top of the puppy price. We handle all the logistics so you can just focus on getting the house ready for your new arrival.

Yes! We are one of the few boutique breeders in Southern California that offers a structured training curriculum right in our home. Our signature "Puppy Kindergarten" goes way beyond the basics. We use Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and intentional socialization to build confidence and focus. Whether you’re in Aspen, or somewhere in Colorado you can choose from our 4-week or 9-week training options to give your puppy a massive head start on potty training, crate training, and manners before they ever leave our arms.
