Meet Tori and Teddy’s Irish Goldendoodles
Eleven dark red Irish Goldendoodle puppies arrived on October 26: five boys and six girls. This is our classic dark red Irish Goldendoodle litter, and our family is enjoying every minute with them. These Christmas Goldendoodle puppies will be ready for their new homes on December 22, just in time for Christmas, and they’ll mature at about 35–50 lbs. We don’t have puppies in December every year, so we look forward to being a part of helping make Christmas extra special for the families who take home the puppies from Tori’s sweet new litter.
Meet the parents
Tori, the mom, is a dark red Irish Golden Retriever. She’s athletic and outgoing, a social butterfly who loves any chance to be with her people. Teddy, the dad, is a red Moyen Poodle who is cheerful, fun loving and social. You can see Tori’s photos and health testing on Tori’s page. We own both parents and their grandparents too, so we can tell you exactly where your puppy comes from and how they were raised.
See what they’ll look like at going-home age
Wondering how these puppies will look on going-home day? Here’s a past litter of Tori’s, to give you a preview.

How to choose your puppy
Start with our free application, and we’ll be in touch within 24 hours. A $500 deposit by Venmo or Zelle places you on our waiting list, in the order deposits arrive. As each litter nears picking age, we ask the families on our list whether they’d like to choose from that litter, and whether they’d prefer a boy or a girl. Families who opt in choose on Puppy Picking Day in deposit order, with separate picking orders for boys and girls.
Your deposit is fully refundable and transferable between litters and breeds until you choose your puppy, and there’s no obligation to choose from this litter. If you pass, you can join another litter’s picking order behind the families already planning to choose from it, or keep your place on our list for future litters. Once you choose your puppy, your deposit becomes a non-refundable earnest deposit held for that puppy.
Puppy Picking Day for this litter is Tuesday, December 1. A couple of days before, we’ll post updated photos of each puppy. On the morning of picking day, we’ll share videos of the puppies in action, so you can see them at their most current. At your scheduled time, we’ll walk you through each puppy by FaceTime or Zoom, or by phone if you’d rather just talk. You can also visit in person and meet them through our window. At this age, our veterinarian advises that the puppies not be handled by visitors, to protect them from accidental exposure to outside germs.
Can’t make picking day? You can choose a day or two early, still in your deposit order. We’re glad to recommend which puppies might suit your family, but the final choice is always yours.
Non-shedding, by design
Our F1 Irish Goldendoodles are non-shedding. Teddy is DNA tested and carries the furnishings genes behind the Poodle coat. We’ve worked with these same lines for 25 years, and the testing confirmed what our families have seen all along.
Raised with our family, on a protocol that hasn’t changed
Our children, elementary age to teens, handle every litter daily, starting the week the puppies are born. Each puppy has Early Neurological Stimulation in the first weeks, then socialization following Jan Fennell’s Amichien Bonding method. Both parents are tested through OFA hip, elbow and heart screening, CAER eye certification, and DNA panels.
Going home
Puppies are ready on December 22, just in time for Christmas. If you’d like a later homecoming, just let us know and we’ll work out the details with you. We’re about 1½ hours from Chicago and Indianapolis, and many of our families drive in from Illinois, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin. Too far to drive? We offer air delivery or flight nanny.
The balance is due at pickup and can be paid by Venmo, Zelle, cash or personal check. If you’re paying by Venmo or Zelle, check your account’s daily limit ahead of time, since some accounts cap daily payments.

“Erica understood what I was looking for in a puppy and helped me select one that’s turned out to be the perfect fit… 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.”— Paige B., Irish Goldendoodle family · Google review
