About Us
Here at Galena Goldendoodles we have been raising quality dogs for over 25 years (formerly Rosemeadow Retrievers). We began breeding with English Labrador Retrievers and also ran a family boarding business.
In 2009 we aquired Riley. Our hearts have been captured by Doodles; they are very intelligent yet gentle and affectionate. Doodles are easy to have around and are quickly trained. A big plus is that they are little-to-none shedders and non-allergenic.
Through the years, our dogs have been used for confirmation, agility, obedience, therapy, and of course pets. We strive for excellent temperments and healthy dogs. We are breeding mainly F2B, F3B, & Multi-Generational Doodles to minimize shedding and be as non-allergenic as possible. These puppies are raised and loved in our home, well-socialized and accustomed to everyday activites.
Every year we have pups that are purchased for special jobs. These include being a support dog for people with anxiety, autism, PSTD, and other disabilitys. Some pups have become service dogs for diabetes and seizures, some have worked in therapist offices, some have been purchased by school principles to be used with the students, and some have gotten their canine good citizen certification and comfort people in hospitals and nursing homes. We even have a pup that works in a funeral home. We take extra time knowing, nurturing, socializing our pups, and are intentional about knowing our buyers and pups well so we can make great matchups.
When we choose our parent dogs we are evaluating many things before they are cleared to have puppies. We do DNA coat testing (for the colors we want and to get the softest, and minimal to non-shed coats; some genetics can even produce a non conforming coat so by testing we stay away from that,) and disease testing (for diseases that don't show up the 1st year or 2) As they grow we are looking for healthy bone structure. We strive to pick easy going, mild to medium temperaments. We have the hips and elbows exrayed, patellas and heart checked and a canine opthmologist checks their eyes for a sheet full of possible disorders. The dogs that pass the health testing, have good temperaments and structure are the dogs that become the parent dogs for the puppy you pick !
These are great litters for people who need a non-shedding, non-allergenic dog. The dogs love to retrieve and play, and enjoy relaxing and hanging out with their familys.
