Meet the Goldendoodle
The perfect family companion.
A cross between a Golden Retriever and a Poodle, the Goldendoodle blends the best of both worlds—the affectionate, easygoing nature of a Golden Retriever with the intelligence and low-shedding coat of a Poodle.
Temperament: friendly, gentle, and deeply devoted. Goldendoodles thrive on companionship and are known for getting along wonderfully with children, other pets, and new people. They're eager to please, highly trainable, and love being part of the family.
Coat: straight, wavy to curly, low-to-non shedding. Many Goldendoodles are an excellent choice for families with allergies. Available in Petite, Mini, Medium, and Standard sizes, there's a Goldendoodle to fit almost every lifestyle.
Why families love them: They're intelligent, adaptable, and truly made for family life. Whether you're looking for a snuggle partner, an adventure buddy, or a service-dog prospect, a Goldendoodle is ready to rise to the occasion.
At Little Fur Friends, every puppy comes from fully health-tested parents and is family raised with purposeful socialization to help them grow into confident, well-adjusted companions. Our goal is to give each puppy the very best start in life, so they transition seamlessly into their forever family.

In Loving Memory
Keeper
4/30/15 – 3/26/26
Although Keeper wasn’t a Goldendoodle, she will always hold a special place in the story of Little Fur Friends. As one of our very first doodles, she truly lived up to her name—wherever we were, that’s where she wanted to be. She was our faithful shadow, constant companion, and the unofficial greeter of our program. Every family who came through our gates to visit or bring home a puppy was welcomed by Keeper’s wagging tail, smiling face, and gentle heart.
Her love for people was unmatched, and she left an impression on everyone who had the privilege of meeting her. Though she is no longer with us, her legacy lives on in the countless memories she helped create and in the heart of Little Fur Friends.
Forever loved. Forever remembered. ❤️

"Little Fur Friends is top notch! From start to finish, they were very responsive and even FaceTimed me with our sweet Bonnie (formerly Queenie). We were updated weekly with current pictures and videos and met half way for delivery. We couldn't be more happy with our sweet girl."

"Working with Little Fur Friends was an amazing experience from start to finish. They were so patient with our questions and kept us updated with photos and videos from the day the litter was born. Their knowledge of the of all animals is incredible, and they helped us pick the perfect puppy that fits our family's energy level. We are so grateful for the care they put into their breeding program and highly recommend them!"

"We got our Goldendoodle, Piper, recently from Little Fur Friends and truly could not be happier with the experience. They are incredibly communicative, professional, and clearly take breeding seriously. From genetic testing to paperwork, everything was organized and transparent — which gave us a lot of confidence we were working with legitimate, responsible breeders. You can tell how much care they put into their puppies. Piper came to us well-socialized, healthy, and clearly loved. They even checked in after we brought her home just to make sure she was adjusting well, which speaks volumes about the kind of people they are. They made the entire process smooth and stress-free, and it's obvious they care deeply about both their animals and the families they place them with. I would absolutely recommend Little Fur Friends to anyone looking for a Goldendoodle."

"Valerie and Tracy are the best breeders we have ever gotten a dog from. I felt very safe and confident getting a dog from them given they also run a grooming business, and share a wealth of knowledge on how to raise puppies/goldendoodles. We are absolutely in love with our puppy (Winston), and beyond impressed with the skills he has already learned by 9 weeks old thanks to the work Valerie and Tracy put in. He is 90% potty trained, went right into his crate and slept starting night 1, not scared of loud noises or other dogs barking, and absolutely loves affection. You don't get breeders who put in that kind of work often! Couldn't recommend them more"

"I cannot say enough great things about Valerie and Tracy of Little Fur Friends! We researched different Goldendoodle breeders and knew we wanted to go with one certified through GANA. From the very beginning stages of communicating with Valerie, to 'picking' our puppy, and finally bringing him home – we couldn't have asked for a better experience. As for our new family member – wow! He's something special. It was obvious he was so loved and well cared for the first 8 weeks of his life. Thank you, Valerie and Tracy!"
