Melissa’s experience

  • About Melissa

    We are a family of five with 2 grown daughters and 1 son. Our son was diagnosed with high functioning autism at 3 1/2. Seeing the benefits of having our son involved in the care of animals and upon meeting our first Goldendoodle, we knew this was the perfect fit for us. Who could resist the fun loving, comical, "I want to please my human!" that the Goldendoodle is? This began our journey into breeding Goldendoodles. It is common to see our dogs/puppies become therapy dog certified.

  • What makes Melissa’s program special

    We are located in the Northeastern Ohio area. Our goal is to produce healthy, happy puppies with exceptional temperaments. We do this by adhering to high standards that include health certified parents, Early Neurological Stimulations, top quality food and probiotics, litter box training starting at three weeks of age and more. Our Trainers, Paramount Dog Training, comes into our twice a week to work with each puppy individually. This will help set your puppy up for future training and transition into your home!

Getting a puppy from Melissa

Melissa has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies. You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion. Together, you'll choose the puppy that's right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.

Price

Puppy prices range from $2,800 - $4,500 and include a non-refundable deposit of $500.

“Your puppy will go home with his/her goody bag, up to date on vaccine/wormer, microchipped, started potty and free pet insurance for 30 days! The reservation fee of 500.00 is non-refundable. You are placing a reservation with us as the Breeder you want to work with first and foremost. We will do our best to provide the best information we can on timing but until a mom is actually bred and has whelped it will only be considered estimates. It is rare, but if a mom does not produce a litter or enough puppies, you must be willing to wait for next available or different litter, same parents.”

Contract and health guarantee

Melissa may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Melissa offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Melissa directly.
