We Foster out both Golden Retrievers and Standard Poodles


     The purpose of our Fostering program is to provide our breeding females a                            wonderful, devoted, loving family right from day one.

We do not believe in keeping a large number of dogs in our home for breeding.   Only an amount that we can properly care for and give the attention they deserve.  Both Golden Retriever and Standard Poodles are devote and Social dogs and require and thrive on human contact. This is why we have begun the Fostering Program.

How the Foster Program Would Work


We Prefer to place males as it is easier. The males only have to spend about a week for each breeding.  It's a shorter time than 8 weeks away from the family if it's a female.  However we still will consider fostering a female to the right family.

The puppy we place will only be in our breeding program if we feel she is deemed of breeding quality.  We pay for any genetic testing required to deem the dog breeding quality.( ie hips testing)  We also pay for all puppy shots, routine check ups and routine annual vaccinations.

If the puppy isn't breeding quality you still have the opportunity to own the dog under the condition that you have the dog neutered. 

If the puppy is of  breeding quality than we have the right to breed the dog to a wonderful male/female of our choice.  As mention above this does mean that your family member/dog would have to leave you for a little while.  Again it is not a problem to come and visit the dog.

After we have finished using the dog in our breeding program we transfer full ownership of the dog into the Foster Family's name. For females( we only ask for three litters a possible  fourth if she doesn't produce 18 puppies combined in her three litters.)  We feel this is very fair as some programs require the dog until they are 5 years old. 

For males we ask that we use the male for 5 years after which if we choose to use the male we would pay $100 a breeding towards a stud fee.

The advantages:

The advantages to the dog is that when she is no longer in the breeding program there is no disruption she goes back to the loving home that she has always known.

We are very selective when choosing a Foster Family.  The Foster Family must agree to all conditions listed in our contract to be able to be considered.  We feel that these conditions benefit all parties, the dog, the Foster Family and us. The most important goal is that the dog is placed in a loving, caring and knowledgeable home where they will be part of a family. 

The Foster Families Responsibilities are outlined in our Breeding Program Contract which can be accessed by clicking on the link at the top of the page.


Please note that if chosen to be part of  our Foster Program you will have 24/7 support.  You can call us anytime with questions or concerns

  Fostering is not a match for everyone but if you are interested please read          over our Foster Breeding Contract and then give us a call.


                          All Foster Families must live within 2hours of our home.

Pheobe is a 3yr old F1 Standard GoldenDoodle Female.  She is a big girl.  She is house trained, knows how to sit, shake a paw and walk on the leash.

Her coat is non- shedding and great for those with allergies.  Pheobe is a spunky affectionate girl.  She can be a bit shy at first in new surrounds but warms up quickly.  Her hips are tested and cleared!

Phoebe would do best in a home with older children.  She gets along fine with my grandchildred (3 and 6 yrs) but is a little nervous around children.

                  Pheobe loves to Play ball!
