Standard Goldendoodle Puppies for Sale

Looking for a Standard Goldendoodle? Our Large TeddyBear Goldendoodles (about 55–85+ lb) are closest. They carry the same temperament-tested, allergy-friendly line as every dog we place, from the family that bred the world’s first English Goldendoodles in 1999.

Our story

Where the teddy bear began

Sherri spent the ’90s raising English Golden Retrievers, until her son turned out to be allergic to them. She bred them with the Poodle and, in 1999, created the world’s first English Goldendoodles. Today our Large TeddyBear Goldendoodles are the size many families still picture when they hear “Standard Goldendoodle,” raised on our farm in Robertsdale, Alabama.

How big is a Large Goldendoodle?

“Standard” means different things at different breeders, so here is exactly how we size ours. Large is the closest to what most people call a Standard Goldendoodle.

Questions families ask

Our Large TeddyBear Goldendoodles, the size closest to what most people call a Standard, grow to about 55–85+ pounds. Girls typically stand 19–23 inches at the shoulder and boys 20–25 inches. Sherri’s size guide explains every size, and why height matters too.

Our Large Goldendoodles are gentle, snuggly and devoted, ideal for active families with room to roam. Because every puppy is temperament-tested at seven weeks, we also match energy: a laid-back cuddler for the family that wants a movie-night buddy, a curious, confident explorer for the family dreaming of hiking trails and ball games.

Gentleness with people is one of the traits we specifically breed and test for. Because every puppy is temperament-tested at seven weeks, we can match your family with a puppy whose energy suits your household, whether that includes toddlers, teenagers, or a bossy older cat.

Their low-to-non-shedding coats are among the most allergy-friendly you’ll find, one of the biggest reasons allergy-sensitive families choose them. Every dog and every allergy is unique, so we’ll never make medical promises — our T-shirt allergy test lets your family check at home before you adopt.

Large puppies can be picked up or start Doodle Prep School at 9 weeks old. Doodle Prep School programs run from 1 to 16 weeks before your puppy goes home.

Your application comes with a $295 deposit ($305.33 when paid by card), which is non-refundable and applied to the total purchase price of your puppy. We then talk by phone about your family and your wish list, and once temperament testing is complete at seven weeks, we match you with your puppy. If the right puppy isn’t here yet, you’re placed on our waiting list until the expected litter is born.

Yes. A licensed veterinarian examines every puppy before it leaves us, and each one comes with our 2-year health guarantee. It covers hip and elbow dysplasia and congenital heart defects up to two years of age, and any untreatable condition your own vet finds at the check-up we ask you to schedule within three business days of your puppy’s arrival. To make a claim, send us your vet’s written diagnosis, or a PennHIP evaluation for dysplasia, within three to five business days; the exact deadline for each is in the Contract & Health Warranty in your application. For a heart defect or a condition found at that first check-up, once your puppy comes back to us, we provide a replacement puppy. The guarantee asks you to keep your puppy at a healthy weight, have them spayed or neutered by seven months, and come to us first if you ever need to rehome: your doodle always has a place with us.

Matched to your family — not first come, first served

We don’t line puppies up and let the fastest application pick first.

  1. From their first days

    Early Neurological Stimulation

    To help every puppy grow into a calm, adaptable dog.

  2. At seven weeks

    Temperament testing

    We evaluate confidence, energy, sociability, and how each puppy responds to new people, new sounds and gentle handling.

  3. The part we love most

    The match

    A laid-back cuddler goes to the family who wants a movie-night buddy; a curious, confident explorer goes to the family dreaming of hiking trails and ball games.

Our families so often tell us their doodle feels made for them — because in a very real way, they were matched on purpose.

Allergy-friendly coats — and a way to know before you commit

Goldendoodles are famous for their soft, low-to-non-shedding, allergy-friendly coats — one of the biggest reasons allergy-sensitive families choose them.

Every dog and every allergy is unique, so we’ll never make medical promises. What we can do is help your family find out for yourselves.

A Smeraglia favorite

The T-shirt allergy test

We send your family a shirt that has been snuggled by one of our doodles, so the allergy-sensitive member of your household can check their reaction at home — before Gotcha Day is ever on the calendar.
