High Desert Family Doodles
raising the joy of mini goldendoodle puppies
At High Desert Family Doodles, we raise joy.
We have the tremendous opportunity to raise these little mini goldendoodle nuggets of joy for Sacramento, California. These mini goldendoodles have the deep wiring to find joy in almost anything.
Familiar person; joy. New person; joy. New toy; joy. Sunny day; great. Rainy day; awesome chance to play in the mud. They have been intentionally bred to make beautiful companions for families, so that they can flourish and enjoy great health in Sacramento.
We also know that these joyful mini Goldendoodle puppies - and adults - raise the joy of the people who meet them. Their attitudes are contagious, and they lighten any situation with their frivolity and whimsy, whether you’re roaming through Sacramento’s Mid Town Farmers Market, or enjoy Old Sacramento Historic Park.
These beautiful mini Goldendoodles end up becoming a dear part of the family unit, and get their own particular piece of our hearts. We do not take this lightly.
That’s why we are the only mini Goldendoodle Breeder on the West Coast that is both a member of GANA and Good Dog, along with using both Avidog, Puppy Culture and the BAB puppy enrichment programs in our Puppy Curriculums.
As a breeder, all of these different clubs, groups, and programs are aimed at raising as much joy as possible in our mini Goldendoodles for Sacramento .
Happy and Healthy Sacramento Mini Goldendoodles
We know that there is much more to breeding healthy, confident, flourishing mini Goldendoodles than just getting a dam and sire together at the right time.
That is why we first health-test all of our mini Goldendoodle parents to make sure they pass the health-testing standards set up by both GANA (Goldendoodle Association of North America) and Good Dog. A lot of mini Goldendoodle breeders have “health-tested” their mini Goldendoodles, but don’t disclose what standards they are using to determine whether their doodle passes or fails.
These organizations serve as a source of accountability for us, in order to help us breed for mini-goldendoodle puppies with the puppies health in mind. So our mini goldendoodle parents must pass hip, elbow, patella, cardiac, eye, and genetic screening in order to be a part of High Desert Family Doodles.
Our mini Goldendoodle parents - Brownie and Rosie - have passed their health-testing and are ready for a litter of puppies in the next couple months. These puppies will be in the 20-25 pound range, and we will have a variety of coat colors and textures in the litter.
High Desert Family Doodles is north of Sacramento, California in central Oregon. Your mini Goldendoodle puppy would be a day trip away, if you wanted to drive up to pick them up.
You could also fly into Redmond, Oregon from California through Sacramento International Airport. We can meet you at the airport with your mini goldendoodle puppy so that you can just enjoy the brief flight north to Oregon.
We look forward to our joyful mini Goldendoodle puppies joining you in Sacramento, California.
Please reach out if you have any questions and thoughts; we’d love to hear from you!
Warmly,
Erin and Jay
After the puppies are born, we begin our enrichment program in the first few days with Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and Early Scent Introduction (ESI) to help with their young brain’s development.
From that point, we begin to integrate different exercises and exposures that help the mini goldendoodle puppies with overcoming fear responses to become both brave and confident.
We give them practical problems to solve - such as navigating obstacles in order to get to their meals - in order to nurture problem solving and trouble-shooting. Mini Goldendoodles come from the hybridization of two intelligent breeds- poodles and golden retrievers - which tends to lead to a highly intelligent puppy. Our hope and desire is to encourage this intelligence as much as possible, and to to teach the mini Goldendoodle puppies that the world - especially Sacramento California - is a trust-worthy place that is safe.
In the final weeks we have these mini Goldendoodle puppies, we begin to work with crate exposure, and potty training. We help them begin to understand that their crates are safe places for them as well. They begin to quickly pick up on potty training.
The mini Goldendoodle puppies also get a large amount of early socialization with different people in order to help them trust the wide array of humans. Hat: yep. Beards; oh yeah. Tall people; indeed. Kids; all the way. We do all this stuff so that these mini Goldendoodle puppies can handle all the Sacramento California has to offer.
Our mini Goldendoodle puppies go home when they are 8 weeks old. The next month is an important window for you to continue to work on exposure with new situations and people to help them continue to grow confident and brave in Sacramento, California.
