Breeder of Extraordinary Goldador Doodle Puppies
There is a difference between bringing home a puppy and welcoming the right dog into your life. Most families are not just looking for a dog, they are hoping for something that feels steady, connected, and easy to live with. That kind of experience does not happen by chance.
Here at Ridge Valley Doradoodles® that begins with the proven temperament of the Cottage Garden Goldador lines, developed over time for consistency, resilience, and a natural connection to people. From there, we intentionally developed the Doradoodle® by introducing the Poodle to enhance coat quality, reduce shedding, and bring greater balance, all the while preserving that core genetics and temperament of the Goldador. Each puppy in our program is then guided through early development with a balance of the Puppy Culture and The Empowered Badass Breeder Curriculum, ENS, ESI and raised within our structured Advanced Service Dog puppy curriculum. Through this process, every placement is thoughtfully guided by temperament, so when your dog comes home, it does not feel like a guess ~ it feels like it was meant to be.

The Perfect Goldador Doodle Dog!
The idea of the Doradoodle® originated through my close working relationship as a trainer for Cottage Garden Goldadors and a love for the Goldador breed. Goldadors are fun loving and great companions. Over the years, many families have voiced the desire for a Goldador with hypo-allergenic qualities…. you asked and we were listening!
Our standard is for the highest quality puppies possible. So, we embarked on a 3-year journey of research and careful selection of the best puppies from our Goldador line as well as our apricot Moyen Poodle culminating in our 2021 introduction of the Doradoodle®!
Lower Energy. Low-Shedding. Thoughtfully Developed.
Not all Doodles are created the same and for many families, that difference matters more than they realize.
The Doradoodle® is the only retriever-based Doodle intentionally developed from Cottage Garden Goldador lines, bringing together the laid-back steadiness of the English Golden, the intuitive intelligence of the American Field Labrador, and the human-focused connection of the Poodle. With the intentional introduction of the Poodle, we are able to improve coat consistency, significantly reduce shedding, and move toward a more allergy-friendly companion without compromising the temperament families value most.
The result is a dog that feels more balanced, more responsive, and easier to live with day to day both in how they behave and how they fit into your home environment.
If you’ve been searching for a dog that is calm without being dull, intelligent without being overwhelming, and connected without being demanding. This is where that understanding begins.

“We had a wonderful experience with adopting our puppy Ruby (formerly “Sparkles”) from Doradoodles. We had just lost our 12 year old schnauzer goldendoodle, Riley, and our anxious 2 year old cockapoo was lost and grief stricken without his best friend. Amy did a an amazing job listening to our needs as far as personality traits and qualities for our new puppy.” – Josche Family
“Amy at Doradoodles is very professional and helpful. She made me feel very confident in my selection of a wonderful, loveable puppy companion. I am very lucky to have one from the very first litter! The breed is extremely smart, learning very quickly. The vet told me she will get to about 50 pounds. Her coat has gotten slightly more apricot color as she grows. ” – Marshall Family
“The whole process of getting our puppy went smoothly. Amy is always very professional and is available to answer questions. Our puppy is adorable and is learning quickly. Our experience with Ridge Valley Doradoodles was very positive!” – Jutze Family

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Doradoodle?
A Doradoodle® is a mix between a Cottage Garden Goldador (English Cream Golden Retriever and an American Hunt Labrador Retriever) and a Moyen Poodle (Small Standard Poodle.)
Do Doradoodles shed?
The reality is all Doodles shed, even Poodles blow their coats. Doradoodles are very low shedding. Depending on the coat straight vs. wavy, you may not see any shedding. You will see the most shedding when they lose their puppy coat and grow in their adult coat. This typically happens between 8-12 months and is dependent on your climate.
How do I reserve a puppy?
First you will will out an application. Upon approval you will receive a welcome email and a phone call will be scheduled.
How much grooming is required?
It is recommended that you brush your Doradoodle® a minimum of 2-3 times a week. Wavy coats require more grooming, however, this is dependent on how you want your dog to look. Straight coats only require regular brushing and facial trimming when necessary.
