Canadian English Goldendoodles was a small, family-run breeder of Teddy Bear Goldendoodles and Poodles. We’ve since retired from breeding — there are no upcoming litters and we no longer place puppies — but we’re keeping this site online as a resource on natural, holistic puppy and dog care, for anyone raising a puppy today.

Looking for a puppy? We no longer breed, but we can help you find a good one: start with our guide to finding a responsible breeder.

Why We Bred This Way

Breeding Goldendoodles was an easy decision for us. Their temperament made them a perfect fit for our own family of children, and we wanted to share that with other families — they really are wonderful pets for kids. With so many people affected by dog allergies, a breed that can have a low-shedding coat mattered to us too (here’s what “hypoallergenic” does and doesn’t mean).

There are enough dog breeders in the world already, so we didn’t want to do this just to do it — only if we had something genuinely different to offer. That’s what led us to breed holistically: promoting natural, holistic pet care alongside the breeding itself. We also believed strongly that a Goldendoodle should never end up in a rescue shelter or pet store, and we put real weight on early socialization and habituation so every puppy leaving our home was genuinely prepared for its new life.

Our Goldendoodle

We love Goldendoodles. There’s something about coming in the door and having one there to meet you — the gentle way she settles at your feet in the evening, how the kids curl up next to her, how much she loves them right back. We had a lot of fun over the years with all the different ways you can groom a Goldendoodle, too. We loved being Goldendoodle breeders, and this site is our way of still being part of that world.
