About Golden Beauties . . . Driven to Doodles, LLC
No Guardian HOMES!!!!!
- Guardian homes are used by breeders often where their breeding dogs are housed, cared for and paid for (mostly) by an independent family, not connected to the breeder besides by a contract, a piece of meat that generates revenue.
- The breeder removes the breeding female to be bred during heat (every appx 6 months), it is removed from it's guardian home (her loving home where she feels safe) and is bred with a stud dog or inseminates her. Then the breeder returns the dog and hopes she got pregnant from the breeding/inseminations.
- The breeder then removes the dog again 8-9 weeks later for her to deliver her litter, rips her from her home and tosses her into a whelping box where she pops out puppies around people that are basically strangers to her...
- The breeding dog then gets ripped away from her litter anywhere from 5-8 weeks and sent back to her guardian home. While the breeder cashes out on the profits of the brood, and the dog is not even with the breeder to see her puppies be taken away...
WE DO NOT CONDONE/APPROVE OF OR USE GUARDIAN HOMES! If you are buying a dog from a breeder rather than adopting from a rescue be sure the breeder isnt just about money... About the money is what would seem the likely story about guardian home breeders.....
*Note the photo to the side is OUR GALS, in OUR house!!!!!!! They are Together, they are cared for, treated right and loved by US, never are they transferred to different people or houses or shifted around like a sack of potatoes, they are OURS!!!!! We pay for everything for them we care for their grooming, their feeding, health care and even pick up their poops ourselves... WE CARE FOR THEM AT HOME WITH OUR FAMILY... Because THEY ARE OUR FAMILY!!!!!
We Breed Therapy Dogs!
The majority of our dogs have been homed with families as Emotional Support dogs (EMS), Service dogs, and Therapy dogs for Autism and physical disabilities. Golden retrievers and goldendoodles have been shown to be a very loyal and obedient which is why they do well in homes requiring a helper dog. Both Poodles and Golden Retrievers have been successfully utilized in the past as service therapy and emotional support dogs.

We Microchip & Vaccinate
FULLY CHIPPED AND VACCINATED
We administer a Microchip in the withers area when your puppy is between 2-4 weeks of age . This is proof of ownership and an excellent way to reunite you with your dog if s/he is ever lost! *This is not a GPS chip. As of 2019 We have upgraded our microchipping system to the 15 digit chip that allows you to travel anywhere with your dog! Microchip registration is INCLUDED in the price of your dog, you just send in your contact information along with the microchip number of the chip!
In our dog breeding program A Full DNA profile is done on our golden retriever and goldendoodle litters to help us to determine coat style, furnishings, size, color, health and much much more! This not only helps us select your puppy but it allows you to see the COI as well as heritage of your breed and much more.
All puppies come with either AKC or CKC registration, Goldendoodles have limited registration with pedigree access through the CKC and Golden Retrievers have limited AKC registration with pedigree access.
6 Year Health Guarantee
We offer a 6 year health guarantee, most breeders offer the state minimums, we at Golden beauties Driven to Doodles offer a lengthy guarantee because we have the utmost faith in our breeding stock. We have not had to utilize our amazing health guarantee because the health of all of our dogs genetically has been extremely sound. #goodlepups6yearguarantee
NYS Licensed & Inspected
We have been State Licensed & Inspected since 2007 when we started breeding, we asked to be licensed well before we bred enough litters to be required to be licensed. That says a lot....We abide by the rules and ask permission before asking for forgiveness. #dotherightthing PD#638
How we Achieved Excellence
How Did we Get into Breeding Golden Retrievers & Goldendoodles?
Stacy began working as a dog trainer when she moved back to Rochester NY (Oct 2002) from being an OTR Truck Driver & Furniture Mover. She chose dog training because it aligned with her education in the healthcare field, she was aspiring to return to college for an education in veterinary science and to eventually become a DVM. Stacy took ABCDT's dog trainer course in 2002-2003, in 2003 attended the APDT's conference in Orlando Florida for the entire 5 days of sessions.
Stacy quickly progressed as the top trainer in Rochester NY between 2003-2004 and then the top behavior consultant in Rochester NY in the mid 2000's, with extensive education and experience in training dogs with severe behavior problems and utilizing behavior change programming to modify canine behavior. This work was taxing, seeing so many families disrupted because of their dogs poor breeding or prior abuse, very sad, and not to mention the confusion, and dismay in these poorly treated or bred dogs!
" I chose to start breeding a few years after putting down my rescue dog, at the time I was a canine behavior consultant working towards veterinary school admission but I chose to change my goal to psychology because I found that it fit better in the behavioral model that I preached to my clients.
Before even choosing the breed of the Golden Retriever I underwent several courses in veterinary science and canine breeding to educate myself before setting foot into something so novel to me." Stacy 2020
In 2007 Stacy was working towards a degree in Psychology as well as beginning her 4 year coursework with Companion Science Animal Institute in Canada under James O'Heare, completing with a Diploma in Canine Behavioral Science and Technology in 2011, a few years after completing a BS in Psychology, thereafter sitting for the CCPDT's certificate for behavior consultants (CBCC-KA) and successfully passing it in 2012 (*renewed in 2017 through CEU's and is current!). In 2012 Stacy also completed her Masters degree in Psychology.
"In 2005 I started obtaining my first Goldens for breeding, Ginger and Bolt and then in 2007 Geddy and then they just grew in numbers! "
"In the beginning breeding was more so for me to just collect my own dogs because you really cant have just one, or two, or three... Anyway after that I started working with the autistic population which brought me to breeding doodles for service work and since then it has been my primary position to breed and train my own dogs that eventually become service and emotional support dogs, they gain the service dog training on their own with their family while bonding with them, I do the preliminary manners." Stacy 2020
Health testing has always been of extreme importance but temperament is extremely important as well and it is imperative that each and every dog here is capable of producing therapy or emotional support dogs so each dog is fully examined physically and mentally to ensure the proper traits are to be passed on.
***We achieved EXCELLENCE from Many years of trial learning, Many bumps in the road but Success has been achieved and we are here to provide Perfection to each and every customer. By selecting golden retrievers and goldendoodles we choose the absolute best match for each family because of the time and effort that we put into the pups we are the most capable and educated in the selection process so that we can choose your Perfect puppy! *** You are in the best possible hands here!
