Mini Goldendoodles
Springview Mini Goldendoodles is a small breeder of top quality second and multi- generation Mini Goldendoodles, as well as the highly sought after English Mini “Teddy Bear“ Goldendoodle. We are located in beautiful Central Florida, where our dogs can run and play all year round in their over-sized fenced in backyard. We produce Mini Goldendoodle puppies, which are smaller than the standard breed. Our Minis average from about 25 to 40 lbs whereas standard Goldendoodles normally range from 50 to 90 lbs. Occasionally we will have a litter of Petite Goldendoodles which will be less than 20 pounds. We not only offer cream and apricot Mini Goldendoodles which are the more common colors, but we specialize in the hard to find colors like an amazing dark red, black and soon we will offer full Parti Goldendoodles! We have Mini Goldendoodle puppies for sale, please visit our Available Puppies page for puppy availability and our Discussion Forum for more current updates and pictures. Please check our Upcoming Litters Page to see what breedings we have planned in our future for our Minis.
Please note that we are not affiliated nor do we sell to any Goldendoodle or Puppy Brokers in Florida or anywhere else. It is well known that puppies purchased from puppy broker sites are almost always from puppy mills. Their puppy mill operations can be very well disguised through these sites and even sites of their own. A quality, reputable breeder does not have trouble selling their own puppies and will never use a broker. Because we cannot always allow visitors due to having puppies, please visit our discussion forum and read from many families who have our puppies and have visited our home to pick up their puppies and have met us and our dogs. We encourage you to use this forum as a place to ask our families any questions about us that you may have.
We have Puppies arriving this winter. Please visit our Upcoming Litters Page for details.
Goldendoodles are a mix of Golden Retriever and Poodle, two of the most highly intelligent breeds to be found. Goldendoodles are not to be confused with the Labradoodle, which is a mix of Labrador Retriever and Poodle. Goldendoodles are very social, loving dogs that thanks to their high intellect are very easy to train. They make the perfect family pet or companion to anyone with disabilities. Our goal is to produce sweet, healthy, well adjusted puppies that will be a loving companion for many, many years.
Temperament, conformation and especially health, are the cornerstones of our breeding program and one of the reasons our puppies are in such high demand. Breeding is not a hobby for me, it is my passion and I feel my calling in life; I take breeding very seriously. Our parents all have wonderful, gentle, very loving temperaments. If we are not happy with the temperament of a pup (or adult) intended for breeding, we spay or neuter this dog and never breed them. We have purchased dogs before that did not meet our expectations, and after paying top dollar for them and going through full testing with them, we were not happy with the way their personality was turning out or were not happy with the testing results, these dogs were spayed and neutered and placed into a loving home. This is a business and passing on animals that could otherwise be bred is very expensive and not many breeders would do this, but we are very very picky about the quality of the puppies we produce and will not compromise our standards. Read our discussion forum for countless notes from our families telling how incredibly smart, well tempered and healthy our puppies are!
We pride ourselves on being one of THE most responsible breeders of Mini Goldendoodles to be found. All of our dogs must pass not one, but many rigorous health tests before we even think of breeding them. We are proud of our dogs and post openly for everyone to see, all of the testing results for each and every parent we have. We are not to be compared to some “backyard breeders” that breed and sell their dogs without doing the recommended testing for our breed. Many breeders say that their dogs are health tested, but I know for a fact that there are Mini Goldendoodle breeders that do not do all of the recommended testing on their dogs. I know of one that didn’t even know that there was a CERF vet in the area. Please do your research and purchase the healthiest dog you can, if not from us then from a breeder who can prove testing results. All of our parents are tested for eye diseases with a special DNA test for PRA prcd which is a hereditary disease which renders affected dogs totally blind. This disease is not detectable in young dogs but starts to show up in adulthood. It may be several years before you notice a problem with your dogs eye site, but in the end 100% of dogs affected by this disease go blind. and many by the age of 5 years old. This can not be detected prior to onset in any other way other than DNA testing and we test every single dog that is not proven clear by parentage meaning the parents have been tested and found to be clear. Because we make sure our dogs are tested, we offer a 100% refund for a full 5 years on this eye disorder. This is an expensive test and not many breeders go to the expense of this test, but if you breed two dogs that carry the gene for this disease, an average of 50% of the puppies will be affected by the disease and go blind. Our dogs also get annual CERF exams by a special canine ophthalmologist to look for hidden eye diseases that can be passed down to offspring like cataracts. All of our dogs get certified to have clear and healthy hearts with a cardiac exam. All of our parents have their hips x-rayed by a certified OFA Vet and the x-rays are sent to OFA for independent expert evaluation. They are graded as either Excellent, Good, Fair or will be notated to have conditions noted that would make breeding them unwise. We will never breed a dog that does not pass testing with at least a Fair rating and most of our dogs are certified Good or Excellent by OFA. There is no “Clear” certification for hips, they are graded on their quality. Most of our parents are also checked for conformation of elbows and Patellas. We no longer are testing for vWd as it is noted that only 1% of Poodles are found to be affected by this disease. The following information on Von Willebrand disease is from the VetGen website, the testing service for this disease:
VetGen has been asked by the respective breed clubs to post, from time to time, the statistical results of the vWD tests by breed. The table below contains the results as of January 26, 2005
vWD Genotype
| Clear | Carrier | Affected | |
| Bernese Mountain Dog | 83% | 16% | 1% |
| Doberman | 25% | 49% | 26% |
| Manchester Terrier | 59% | 37% | 4% |
| Pembroke Welsh Corgi | 57% | 37% | 6% |
| Poodle | 90% | 9% | 1% |
We are very proud of the structure and coats we have been able to achieve with our Mini Goldendoodles! As I’m sure you have seen, many Goldendoodles can have wiry, straggly, or rough coats and pointy noses, many look just like Poodles. Not at Springview!! We have been able to consistently achieve very blocky builds with amazing plush soft coats. Our coats can vary from wavy to curly, but our curly Minis are not Poodly looking at all. Our pups have wonderful strong bone structure, a testament to the wonderful genetics of our parents.
We stand behind our exceptional dogs and offer a full two year Health Warranty on all of our puppies. We only breed dogs with the best temperaments and with excellent Goldendoodle conformation and superb coats. We breed second and third generation Mini Goldendoodles because most of these generations are shown to have coats that are non-shedding and allergy friendly, more so than is found in the first generation breeding.
All of our Goldendoodle and Miniature Poodle parents are raised in loving homes, either here with us, or in the homes of our approved guardian families. If you live in the Central Florida region and are interested in possibly being a guardian home, our Guardian Home Page will tell you more. Our dogs have all the love they can handle and sleep in our rooms and even on our beds. It is shown that temperament can indeed be passed down to puppies from their parents and we firmly believe that home raised dogs that are a valuable part of a loving family are the most well adjusted and tend to have the most mellow temperaments, therefore produce the most stable tempered puppies.
All of our puppies are handled daily from birth and given loads of love, cuddling and positive stimulation. When they are old enough, usually at 4 weeks of age, they spend their days in our kitchen, the hub of our house, in a large play area, adjusting to life with lots of activity and a variety of different noises. Many breeders will say that their puppies are birthed in their home, but what they don’t tell you is that after a few weeks they are moved to a different “kennel” style facility, garage or basement, either for necessity because they breed too many pups for their home or because it is more convenient for them. None of our dogs or puppies are EVER kept in a kennel or barn. We believe home raised dogs have better temperaments than dogs raised in kennels. Our puppies are born and raised in our home until they go home to you. They have a large play area in our expansive kitchen which allows them to learn to be at home “in” the home. During the day, they get outside time to play in our fenced in backyard to run and play with an assortment of toys and climbing things.
We practice Early Neural Stimulation techniques on all of our puppies! This is an essential and very important ingredient in achieving a well balanced, socialized puppy. We will also spay or neuter all of our puppies before they go to their new home. This is a significant savings for our families that most other breeders do not offer and not only does it save you several hundred dollars, but it is much easier on the puppies at this age than it is when they are even 4-6 months old. Our puppies come home about four o’clock from the vet’s office and are playing and wrestling like no surgery ever happened. Their incisions are very tiny and no stitches are usually even necessary, only surgical glue is needed. This tiny incision is mostly if not totally healed in just a few days, usually before puppy pickup day. Learn more about Early Spay and Neuter and why we do it.
All of our dogs and puppies are fed only super premium foods, we feed Acana and Orijen by Champion Pet Foods of Canada. We have done extensive research and feel that this is the very best food you can buy for the health and long life of our dogs and puppies. Please visit them at www.championpetfoods.com and see how wonderful and healthy their foods are. These foods are made from only human grade ingredients delivered fresh from local farms and fisherman and are made into dog food in days, the food is never frozen! These foods are loaded with fish, meats and vegetables, and are all grain and Ethoxyquin free. There are many other foods that we could feed our dogs and puppies that would be much less expensive for us, but we feel that only the very best food possible is what we want to feed our dogs and puppies, because we want to help give them the healthiest life possible. With your puppy, you will get a small bag of this food, a brochure on the food and several detailed reports on the dangers of Ethoxyquin hiding in most dog foods that we have put together for you. You can also order a large bag of this food that we can have ready for you when you come and pick up the puppy! This is just another example of our commitment to the health of all of our dogs and puppies! Our Moms are also given extra special “extras” while nursing to help them produce lots of rich healthy milk for their pups.
Your puppy will be micro chipped before leaving for his/her new home and will come home with the enrollment form. This microchip is easily read by any vet or animal control agency and is an essential part of returning your dog if he or she is ever lost or stolen!
The happiness of our families as well as our puppies is very important to us. See what Springview does to help you before and after your puppy arrives in your home! We do our best to help make sure that each family gets a puppy that fits their families needs, whether it be allergy issues or any temperament concerns. After any allergy or temperament concerns have been addressed, we let our families choose their puppies in the order of how they have reserved a spot with a deposit. Please go to our Procedures and Prices page for more information on our allocation process.
Springview Mini Goldendoodles is always here to offer support and re-home for your pet if ever the unfortunate need arises.
