Our Professional Experience gives you Expert Service
Our Mission
Our goal is to promote the positive, healthy qualities of the Goldendoodle breed and temperament while providing the best family pets.
We start with full health testing of the parents. We then use our professional background in puppy development to ensure our puppies receive all aspects of needed upbringing and care.
We match our puppies to their forever homes based upon personality and temperament - not just their looks.
Our Story
We are a husband and wife team who own and operate our own dog training business in central Indiana (Purpose Driven K9). Having trained numerous Goldendoodles, we have grown especially fond of them. We currently own two Goldendoodles of our own.
We want to help provide other families with outstanding representatives of the Goldendoodle breed. With all the research we've done over the years, we're using our experience and knowledge to provide your family with the best the breed has to offer.
At Gertie's Goldendoodles, we want you to be well educated so you feel confident in raising a new puppy, and we strive to provide you with as much information as we can about preparing, caring, raising, and training your puppy now, and into their future!
