Goldendoodle Breeder in Alabama

The World’s First English Goldendoodle Breeder — Raised in Sweet Home Alabama

If you’re looking for a goldendoodle breeder in Alabama, come see where it all began. Our family has been developing our English Golden Retriever and Poodle lines since 1993 — work that led to the world’s first litter of English Goldendoodles — and we’ve been raising teddy bear doodles on our farm in Robertsdale, Alabama ever since.

It started, like most good things, with family: a beloved Golden Retriever named Murphy, a child’s allergies, and a Standard Poodle named Georgette — the pairing that made history. Today our 550-acre farm in Baldwin County is home to our purpose-built nursery, our client welcome office, and the happiest pack of English Goldendoodles, Schnoodles, and Twoodles you’ll ever meet. This isn’t a kennel operation — it’s our family’s home and life’s work, founded by Sherri Smeraglia and grown with our children and a team who love these dogs the way we do.

Visit the Farm — and Make Gotcha Day a Memory

There’s nothing like meeting your puppy for the first time. Families who choose farm pickup get the full Gotcha Day experience — a warm welcome from our team, time to love on your new puppy in person, go-home guidance from the people who raised them, and photos you’ll treasure forever. Fair warning: happy tears are standard.

Proudly Serving the Gulf Coast

Robertsdale sits in the heart of Baldwin County, which makes us an easy drive for families across the Gulf Coast — Mobile and the Eastern Shore, Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, Pensacola and the Florida Panhandle, and a manageable day trip from New Orleans. Plenty of our families turn Gotcha Day into a beach weekend, and honestly, we recommend it.

Flying in? We regularly arrange airport meetups at Pensacola (PNS) and Mobile (MOB), and New Orleans (MSY) as well — details on our pickup & delivery page.

Not Near Alabama? We Deliver Nationwide

Most Smeraglia families live far beyond Alabama — our doodles are in loving homes across the country. Our Doodle Uber ground delivery brings your puppy to your door in the care of a trusted driver, Doodle Dash serves families in and around New York City, and our Au Pair Air option flies your puppy in-cabin with a chaperone. We’ll help you choose the safest, most comfortable option for your puppy’s age and your location.

Live farther afield? We have delivery details for families in New York, Tennessee, Texas, and California.

Why Families Drive (and Fly) to a Small Town in Alabama

Because trust matters more than convenience when you’re adding a family member. Every Smeraglia puppy comes from health- and DNA-tested parents, receives Early Neurological Stimulation from birth, and goes through our 7-week temperament testing so we can match the right puppy to the right family — not simply the fastest application. Every adoption includes our 2-year health guarantee and lifetime rehome support: if life ever changes, your doodle always has a place with us.

Want your puppy to come home already crate-trained and working on manners? Our on-site Doodle Prep School offers 1–16 week programs, including therapy and service-dog tracks.
