a top mini Goldendoodle Breeder for Salem and Keizer Oregon

If you’re in Salem and Keizer, Oregon and looking for a mini Goldendoodle, then look no further!

High Desert Family Doodles is a top mini Goldendoodle and mini Bernedoodle breeder for the Salem, Oregon area.

With so many goldendoodle breeders around, the potential options can be dizzying. Plus, while there may be a “mini goldendoodle puppy” just down the street from you in Salem, many people care about whether the mini Goldendoodle parents have been health-tested, and if the mini Goldendoodle puppies will receive any early training and enrichment before they go home, in order to help them flourish in their forever homes.

We are the only mini Goldendoodle Breeder in the state of Oregon that is both a member of GANA (Goldendoodle Association of North America) and Gooddog.com, along with practicing both Puppy Culture and Empowered Breeder puppy enrichment programs as we raise our mini Goldendoodles.

We’ve know the pure joy of having a mini Goldendoodle as a member of the family, and we also know the pain and heartache that comes with a dog that struggles with chronic health issues.

Because of this, it’s our responsibility to breeder responsibly and with the benefit of the mini Goldendoodles in mind. It’s important for us to do as much as we can to help our puppies to be the best they can for their future homes, be it in Bend, Salem, Portland, or wherever they journey to!

Our mini Goldendoodle parents here in Oregon go through some extensive health-screening in order to be cleared to be part of our program. First, they have a genetic panel done to see if they are at risk of passing on any inheritable diseases or negative traits.

If they clear this, then we screen their hips, elbows, patellas, hearts, and eyes. This is because these traits are highly inheritable, so we want to make sure our mini Goldendoodle parents are healthy and strong, so that their mini Goldendoodle puppies have the best chance of being healthy and beautiful.

Both GANA and Gooddog have particular standards that mini Goldendoodles need to pass in order to be considered for breeding, and this is an important standard to uphold.

There are also countless other traits that can be passed on, even things such as separation anxiety or other behavioral traits. While the list might be approaching infinite, we believe it’s also important to continually focus on socialization and training with our mini Goldendoodle parents so that they can enjoy the urban, suburban, and rural sides of Salem equally as well.

When our mini Goldendoodle puppies are born, we start them with Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and Early Scent Introduction as early as day three to begin their exposure training. Early exposure - to a certain extent - helps our mini Goldendoodles become more familiar with the world around them, which will help them cope with fear responses.

As Goldendoodle breeders, we take our jobs very seriously, because we know that we do more than just having puppies. We are stewarding a being in it’s earliest parts of it’s life, and this period has far-reaching impacts on the rest of our mini Goldendoodle puppies’ life.

We yearn for our mini Goldendoodles to flourish and thrive in Salem, Oregon, so we strive to be the best mini Goldendoodle breeder at making that happen.

You’re mini Goldendoodle isn’t too far away either!
