GOLDENDOODLE BREEDER — OAKLAND, CA
Goldendoodle Puppies for Oakland & the East Bay
Oakland has a creative, independent character that sets it apart from the rest of the Bay Area — the Rockridge neighborhood, the Lake Merritt morning crowd, the Montclair hills trails, and a genuine sense of community that SF and SJ often struggle to match at the neighborhood level. It's a city where a well-socialized, confident goldendoodle fits naturally into daily life.
High Desert Family Doodles is based in Madras, Oregon. We are the only goldendoodle breeder on the West Coast with both a GANA Gold Level and a Good Dog certification, raising every puppy in our home on the Puppy Culture and BadAss Breeder curriculum. We fly goldendoodle puppies into Oakland International (OAK) or SFO. We also place bernedoodles in Oakland — see our upcoming Oakland bernedoodle page if you're weighing both breeds. View our available litters.
Health tested parents, home raised puppies
All of our goldendoodle parents pass OFA hip, elbow, patella, cardiac, and eye clearances plus full genetic panels to the standards of GANA and Good Dog. Read about our parent dogs and health testing here. We offer a two-year written health guarantee on every puppy. Mini, medium, and standard goldendoodles available.
How We Raise Our Puppies for Oakland
Our puppies are born inside our family home in Madras and raised there through eight weeks. Early Neurological Stimulation begins in the first days of life, and we follow the Puppy Culture and BadAss Breeder curriculum throughout — building the confidence and social ease that serves a dog well in Oakland's diverse, urban-meets-outdoor environment.
Getting your puppy home to Oakland
