About Our Breeds
Our F1 Irish Goldendoodle puppies, F1B Irish Goldendoodle puppies, Bernese Irish Goldendoodles (Bernedoodles) and Moyen Poodles are from lines carefully selected for their superior health and temperament. We have raised precious, snuggly, and beautiful Goldendoodle puppies since the days when almost no one knew what a Goldendoodle was! As experienced breeders, we know what genetic lines and physical characteristics to look for in raising smart, well-balanced puppies. After 20+ years’ experience in raising the sweet-natured Goldendoodle, our puppies have developed a distinctive “Sunshine Acres” style.
Our Goldendoodle puppies have a purebred poodle for their sire, and their dame is either a purebred Golden Retriever or a hybrid Golden Retriever/Irish Setter. A hybrid puppy from tested, purebred parents is the healthiest cross possible due to “hybrid vigor.” We are committed to continually improving our breeding lines by carefully selecting each parent for the characteristics that result in puppies with the most desirable pet and therapy dog traits. Each of our puppies’ parents has been OFA tested for their hips, elbows, heart and eyes and are DNA screened before they are accepted into our program to have a litter of puppies. Superior health and longevity, along with a friendly personality, are our top priorities for our puppies. We stand behind each of our puppies with a 3-year health warranty.
What Makes a Goldendoodle the Perfect Dog
What is the perfect dog? For our family, the perfect dog is a Goldendoodle — smart, snuggly, loyal, friendly and more. It’s no wonder Goldendoodles are one of the most loved and popular pet breeds.
Low to Non-Shedding Coats
Fur all over the couch, clothes and carpet? Not with Goldendoodles! The Sunshine Acres doodle has the wildly popular wavy coat or the desirable wavy to curly coat. Either way, they are beautiful dogs.
Perfectly Precious
Our Goldendoodle puppies are bred to have a “Doodley” appearance. With their distinctive Sunshine Acres style, there is a reason so many of them get famous on Instagram. Best of all, precious is more than skin deep…it goes to the heart!
Constant Companion
Goldendoodles are well-known for their personalities. These loyal, friendly dogs are well-suited for children and families of all ages. Whether you want to go for a walk in the park or play a game, count your pup in.
Fun for Family
Goldendoodles are a versatile dog that adores people. They are sporting, hunting, water loving animals that are smart, loyal, enjoy exercise, attention, socialization and family interaction
Colorful Coats
We specialize in the difficult-to-find red Goldendoodle, but pick your color, pick your size, pick your puppy! Our puppies come in shades from golden to black and white. Check them out.
Super Smart
From potty training to basic obedience, Goldendoodles love to learn and are from breeds that rank highest in trainability. Our puppies are from lines with AKC Field and Conformation Champions in their pedigrees.
Sunshine Acres is Customer Recommended
Since 2002, our customers have described us as professional and responsible, open and transparent. We welcome families to come and visit our puppies and their parents. Since we are NOT an online puppy wholesaling company, each of our Goldendoodles for sale and their parents are available for visits here at our home in northwestern Indiana. Unlike the commercial puppy marketing websites that have never raised a puppy or laid eyes on the dogs they are advertising, we are not reselling puppies from ANY other breeders. Each of our puppies was born here, grew from babyhood here, and will go directly home to their forever family. Feel free to call or email us. You’ll be reaching a family who wants to make the puppy-picking process memorable for your family, not a puppy marketer. We are available to help match you with the right puppy at the right time.
Having families come back to Sunshine Acres as repeat customers to purchase another of our Goldendoodle puppies for sale is very rewarding to us, as we consider this the ultimate compliment. As the years go by, a larger percentage of our puppies find their new homes through referrals from our customers to their friends, family, co-workers and neighbors. What fun it is to see our dogs enjoying their role as “Best Friend” to their new families.
What Our Customers Say
Our family had a wonderful experience with Sunshine Acres from the very beginning. Michael was so wonderful answering all of our questions and educating us on the litter we were selecting from. From selecting our new best friend (a day so memorable and a process made so special for our family) to pickup and beyond, the team at Sunshine was so very supportive. We can’t imagine our world without our boy!!

Erica and Michael were awesome in answering all of my questions and eased all my anxiety as a new puppy parent. You can tell that they love their dogs and the early stimulation and environment results in such an intelligent and happy puppy. We would recommend Sunshine Acres to anyone looking for a reputable breeder who loves their dogs!
Kathleen G.
Erica and Michael have been fantastic in communicating with us throughout the process of choosing, purchasing, and preparing for both of our puppies, and we are so impressed by the excellent care they give to their puppies and parents. Additionally, the extent of genetic and health testing completed with Sunshine Acres’ dog parents has made the cost investment in both of our furry friends more than worth it!

Michael and Erica Wagenbach
From our first conversation I knew I had made the right decision to get my puppy from Sunshine Acres. It was obvious how much they cared for their dogs. Then when my little guy, Teddy, arrived, I was once again certain of my decision.Teddy is amazing, beautiful and smart. At six months old, he already has a huge vocabulary. My vet and groomer both said his breeder, Sunshine Acres, must have really worked with him and desensitized him, as they were able to do anything to him without his objecting. They were amazed as he was only three months old at the time.And, did I say he was beautiful?! Look at these pictures. I’m telling you, you can’t go wrong with Sunshine Acres. I mean that sincerely.
We LOVE our Irish golden doodle, Ellie! She is so sweet and playful. The perfect addition to our family. Erica was very responsive and answered all of our questions. She shared vet/vaccine records and gave us a healthy pup! Couldn’t be happier.
We purchased a Sunshine Acres Irish golden doodle puppy back in October 2024. His name is Leo and he is a puppy from Lucky and Hanks August 28, 2024 litter. From our first inquiry Ericka has been friendly, resourceful, informative, and responsive. We appreciated Sunshine Acres testing and genetics on their dog parents and the easy access to review this information.Once we placed a deposit on a puppy picking spot Erika kept us updated with pictures and emails and texts while we waited for the puppies to be born. We did a long facetime call for puppy picking time and chose our puppy. The process went better than we expected knowing we could only view on FaceTime since we live in a different state. We had our puppy flown out to us which also went really well.Since having Leo home with us Ericka has continued to support us with questions and concerns. Leo is doing well with training and is a handsome energetic puppy. He is really good with our three year old too. A great family dog ! We highly recommend sunshine acres!
I’m a huge fan of Sunshine Acres.Erica understood what I was looking for in a puppy and helped me select one that’s turned out to be the perfect fit. It was clear my puppy had been set up for success, and that the Wagenbach family had cared for him well and been thoughtful about how they could prepare him for some of the training he’d be receiving later from me. My pup is super social and smart, was easy to crate train and potty train quickly, and is highly trainable and great with kids and other dogs.I’d absolutely recommend getting your next puppy at Sunshine Acres.
Our 6 month old Moyen poodle is the smartest and cutest dog we've ever known. Sunshine Acres really does breed carefully for temperament, intelligence, playful, and a loving disposition. We are extremely pleased with her and the interactions with Sunshine Acres!2nd update, Feb 2025. One Moyen poodle just wasn't enough, so we contacted Erica again to get another one! She was able to video conference with us to show the temperment of each. We selected a male, and he is all boy. We think he has springs in his legs as he can leap forever. He's the perfect pet for our 2 year old Moyen and a wonderful family member. Don't go anywhere else!
Best breeder for Red Moyen Poodles in the US and the nicest people. they actually made arrangements to bring our puppy to us from Indianna to Albany, NY on their way to a family trip in Maine. Our 5 year-old Louie is a magnificent pedigree poodle; peole stop in their cars to ask me about him. Very healthy so far and of course, classic Moyen personality: happy, playful, sweet, loving, very athletic. We were so lucky to get him and can't thank these folks enough.
I have been in communication with Erica for the last few weeks. I have visited her home, and their setup is absolutely top notch! Erica is very knowledgeable and responsive, and I truly believe that she cares about her dogs and the families they will become part of. We placed a deposit yesterday. As soon as our hearts are healed from the loss of our last dog, we will welcome a Sunshine Acres Irish Goldendoodle into our family!Update:We brought our boy, Franklin, home in mid December. He is a confident and highly intelligent canine. He has quickly become an essential member of our family. We had him participate in a 4-week board and train program. Our training team commented on his quick ability to learn, pleasant demeanor, and drive to please. Franklin has impressed everyone he has met, and he is especially good with children!Bottom line - I would highly endorse Sunshine Acres, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a great BFF!
I got my Irish Goldendoodle, Brinkley, from Sunshine Acres, and he is the most adorable, happy dog that has completed my family. From start to finish, the entire process was incredibly smooth and professional. The team at Sunshine Acres stayed in constant communication, providing all the necessary paperwork, directions, and even organizing the flight. They truly couldn’t have made the experience easier. Brinkley arrived healthy, happy, and perfect in every way. We absolutely love him, and I highly recommend Sunshine Acres for anyone looking to bring home a wonderful Goldendoodle!
Sunshine Acres is the best! We brought home our girl Irish golden doodle from Hank and Annie’s litter. She is so sweet and so smart at only 16 weeks old. She was also very healthy and our vet was very impressed with the breeder. Would definitely consider getting another Irish golden doodle from sunshine acres!
7 1/2 years ago, we adopted our Irish golden doodle, Ruby, from Sunshine Acres. It is a decision we will never regret! She is the best dog, so beautiful and friendly and healthy and well-behaved. Our vet is delighted with her health and perfect weight. We love her to pieces and she has been the best family dog and great big sister to her, brother, who is an English cream golden doodle. Honestly, she helped train him right alongside us! Ruby has been a best friend to all of our grandkids and we highly recommend purchasing a forever family member from Michael and Erica at Sunshine Acres.
This is our 3rd puppy from Sunshine Acres! All three were very good experiences. We purchased our beloved golden doodle, Sabrina in 2010. Two years later, we get our beloved Chloe. She was a red Moyan poodle. Both girls were very sweet and really smart! We had many wonderful years with them. After we lost both girls, we contacted Sunshine Acres and our little Emmi was there waiting for us. She is our cute little Irish goldendoodle! We couldn’t be happier! Erica and Michael do such a great job raising happy healthy puppies! Thank you Erica and Michael!
We were very, very lucky to find Sunshine Acres through two recent Sunshine Acres Doodle owners. Our Irish Goldendoodle is now 8 months old and is a terrific, smart, easy-going puppy. We have had many dogs over the years, but this Irish Doodle is special. She is exceptional in terms of her ability to learn pretty much anything we teach her very quickly, has a fantastic temperament and is calm and quiet in the house. We found Erica and Michael great to deal with, very helpful and supportive. They were also very accurate in terms of their description of what our puppy's temperament might be like as well as accurate size and weight estimates (which according to our vet, does not always happen with Doodles). They take the health and future well-being of their puppies very seriously which is great for all potential owners. It is taking all I've got, discipline wise, to not get another!!
Our family had a wonderful experience with Sunshine Acres from the very beginning. Michael was so wonderful answering all of our questions and educating us on the litter we were selecting from (our guy is from the Daisy/Rudy goldendoodle bunch Jun ‘19). From selecting our new best friend (a day so memorable and a process made so special for our family) to pickup and beyond, the team at Sunshine was so very supportive. We can’t imagine our world without our boy!!
