The Mommas
When only the best will do, look no further than our dams and sires. We meticulously research pedigrees, temperaments and health histories before considering an addition to our program. Even then, not everyone makes the cut. Are we picky? You better believe it.
COOKIE
She’s the sweetest Cookie of them all! Cookie is a purebred Australian Shepherd, and a future momma to GVD Aussiedoodles. This girl cracks us up with her wigglebottom. The minute she sees you, she wags from her ribs to her hiney, and does this wiggly dance thing .... you’d have to see it to understand. Cookie is pure joy, loves her people madly, and every dog she meets is a new BFF. We love that she adores small children. Her affection for the kiddos tells us her babies will be spectacular family companions. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!
CRYBABY
Crybaby is an F1 red merle Aussiedoodle. She is smart, she is sweet, she is silly - and we adore her. Crybaby is an F1 Aussiedoodle from our own breeding (Rosalie and Cowboy, both retired). She passes on her stocky solid build and loving disposition to each of her pups. Such a variety of colors, and some even have her sweet spotted nose.

DAPHNE AND DARLA
Another pair of sisters, and momma hopefuls. Daphne and Darla are purebred standard poodles; Daphne is a “silver” and will be totally silvered out by the time she is two or three years old. Sister Darla is a “blue” and will mature to a deep, rich charcoal color. Aren’t poodle genetics interesting? One day, they will mother sheepadoodles, who will silver out as adults.
DELTAJOY
When we brought these girls home as puppies, we couldn’t believe how quickly and easily they integrated into our pack. Without a second thought, we named the sisters Happy and Joy. As puppies, they were just so content with whatever came their way. Not much has changed. Delta Joy’s first litter arrived late summer 2021, and we expect to see puppies from her sister Happy in early 2022.
DUCHESS
Grinning girl! Duchess has a huge grin, and shows those pearly whites on the daily. She smiles so big, she makes herself sneeze, silly thing. Duchess is sister to Dumplin’ (below), and they are two peas in a pod. She is stout, with a beautiful thick build. Take it literally when we say “got it from her momma” …. She did, and sister Dumplin’ did too. Those Reba genes are strong!
DUMPLIN'
She doesn’t smile at me like her sissy does, but they definitely have the same build. Affectionately known as “D”, Dumplin’ has that same round rump and boxy build. D is the definition of a water lover. Playing with the hose, in the pool, in her water bowl … doesn’t matter, she just loves to make a splash. She makes a big splash indeed with her adorable puppies, and we are looking forward to more.
ELLIEMAE
Daughter to Lo (now retired) and Wags is our wild child Ellie. I exaggerate - she’s not wild - but she is incredibly lively, bouncy, energetic, shall I continue? Ellie is very well behaved, she just has tons of energy. We are strict with our Four on the Floor rule (no jumping!), but we give exception to Ellie. To be clear, she isn’t really “jumping”, she just stands on her hind legs to hug. We’ll take all the Ellie hugs she’s willing to give!
FANCY PANTS
Fancy is sister to Fergie, both sporting that beautiful merle pattern. Like me and my sister, these two are as different as night and day. Fancy is the cuddle bug. She is the velcro. She is the lover. From day one, Fancy Pants has preferred human company to the dogs. She would much rather hang out with me doing boring office work than romp through the pasture with the others. No argument from me, she makes an excellent foot warmer!
FERGIE
Fergilicious! Sister to Fancy’s and quite her opposite. They look alike, yes, but that’s where the similarities end. Ferg is one. busy. lady. She has no interest in being my footstool like sister Fancy. Fergie is all about the play, let me tell you. She is currently expecting her first litter, and once they’re raised, she will be ready for a guardian home. If you have a lonely doggie in need of an active friend, this just might be a fit. (You can read more about GVD’s guardianship program here.)

HAPPY
Happy Girl, sister to Delta Joy, and future momma. We hope to see puppies from Happy and Wags in early 2022.
HOMEGIRL
Homie - gimme some space already! Homegirl is an in-your-face kinda gal .... no concept of personal space. She is nosy as can be and always curious to see what we're up to. True to the Old English Sheepdog distinction, Homie is the class clown. She's brilliant, but also a big 'ol goofball who keeps us laughing. Love this hot mess! Her pups are the biggest of the big here at GVD. They'll mature to 70-95 lbs.
JEWELL
Our favorite picture-taking-lady has dubbed Jewell "One Quick Girl", and she's right on the money. Jewell is a busy bee. Her situational awareness is off the charts - always in tune to what's happening around her. Jewell is daughter to a pair of our retired parents, Louise and Gip. She was so perfect, we just had to keep her for ourselves. She and Wags’ pups are nothing short of magic. We should see some blue eyes in their little family.
LILY
Lively Lily - and that's no exaggeration. Lily is full of life with lots and lots of energy. She adores a good romp, and will wear her playmates out. They want to rest and she's not finished running laps. In her down time, Lily's favorite activity is squirrel watching. She will stand in the window sill and stare .... one day she might catch one of those rascals. She certainly has the energy for it. Lily will be a first time momma in 2020.
LUCY LOO
She always looks so surprised lol. Lucy and Ellie are sisters from our own breeding, parents Lo (now retired) and Wags. Don’t they favor their handsome daddy? Lucy always greets us with the biggest grin. Her big smile and her wide open eyes keeps us giggling. She is so sweet and tender, but playful as all get out. When she’s with her guardian home, her two toddler boys keep her plenty busy, and when she’s here she loves running with the pack. Love this pretty lady.
PENNY LANE
This blue eyed girl hit the Guardian Home jackpot. She lives with the most handsome pair of twins I know, and loves every second of it. She is beautiful yes, but it’s her nurturing tendency that makes us love her so. Direct from her guardian momma: PL’s awareness of things going on in our family and how she guards and protects {the boys} beats anything I’ve ever seen in a dog. Ever.

PIPER
Daughter to Frankie and Raphael, sweet Piper. True to form, she has that angelic temperament and perfect disposition - those are her grandma Gypsy’s genes shining through. Piper is blonde and curly with the prettiest little baby doll head. She is quiet and reserved, but not shy. Piper is fast friends with everyone she meets, humans and dogs alike. When she’s at the farm, her favorite place to be is at my feet. Actually ON my feet would be a more accurate statement. No mind, I kinda love it.
POSEY
Meet Franklin’s Pocketful of Posey. We are totally in love with her deep rich color, and can’t wait to see her puppies. Posey was courted by Raphael late summer, and we hope to see some autumn puppies from these two. Their goldendoodles will be varying shades of white, cream, blonde and red. A variety pack, coming right up.
RED
"Once in his life, every man is entitled to fall madly in love with a gorgeous redhead." And if it's this redhead, be prepared to be scorned. She might be part cat! Red is quite dramatic. She loves affection (on her terms), she gets her way (and pouts if she doesn't), and is just a little bit of a snob. We get so tickled with her attitude of superiority. And even though she pouts when she doesn't get her way, she cannot resist the lure of a good belly rub. I make her sound like a little brat - she isn't. She just likes to do things her way. Red will be paired with Raphael when the time comes, and will have Goldendoodles with her rich coloring late 2020.
STAR
Introducing Franklin’s Stars and Stripes Forever … she was born on the 4th of July, so of course she had to have a patriotic name! Star is GVD’s first merle poodle, and oh how we have looked forward to having her. She will be a big girl - probably 60ish pounds - and if all goes as planned, will be courted by Sir Wags. But for now, we will just enjoy watching her sassy self grow up. Welcome, my pretty!
