Meet Aspen and Copper’s Irish Goldendoodles
Nine gold-to-red Irish Goldendoodle puppies arrived on September 28: five boys and four girls. They’ll be ready for their new homes on November 25, just in time to be part of your family’s Thanksgiving.
Meet the parents
Aspen, the mom, is an Irish Golden Retriever with an outgoing, social personality. Copper, the dad, is a red Moyen Poodle known for his intelligence and friendly, engaging nature. We own both parents, and usually the 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
Aspen is sister to Winnie, and Copper is dad to both litters. That makes Winnie’s Irish Goldendoodle litter the closest preview you’ll find of how these puppies will look at eight weeks.
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 saves you a spot on our waiting list. It’s fully refundable, and transferable between litters and breeds, until the day you choose your puppy. Families who are on our waiting list choose their puppy on Puppy Picking Day in the order their deposits arrive, with separate picking orders for boys and girls.
Puppy Picking Days for this litter are November 5 and 6. 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. If your perfect match isn’t in this litter, you can forward your deposit to a future one.
Non-shedding, by design
Our F1 Irish Goldendoodles are non-shedding. Copper 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 November 25. If that date doesn’t work for your family, we can usually hold your puppy about a week longer. Families who’d like a head start on training can choose optional 1-, 2- or 4-week board-and-train with Happy Pup Manor in Chicago, who can pick your puppy up straight from us. Too far to drive? We deliver by flight nanny or airline pet carrier.
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.
