I'm the breeder behind Shoreside Doodles located in Morehead City, NC. We are a small in home hobby breeder that focuses on quality Goldendoodles. We've had Goldendoodles since 2008. They have been wonderful dogs in every way and that is what we strive for in our puppies. It has always been our dream to share our sweet Doodles with others.
About Michele
We are an active family whose love for Goldendoodles started in 2008. Our first Goldendoodle, Duncan, is named after where my husband and I were married. He is a go with the flow, up for anything, smart, and loving boy. Sometimes we joke that he can actually understand what we are saying beyond his learned commands. Duncan is an old man now, but he is a big reason for Shoreside Doodles.
What makes Michele’s program special
Shoreside Doodle puppies are raised in our home. The puppies are from health tested and clear parents, and raised around children and as a part of our family. We do early neurological stimulation, begin potty training, and start on crate training. We think Goldendoodles are the best dogs ever and are confident your Shoreside puppy will be too.

Why Michele started breeding
After Duncan we added some kids to the fam who soon wanted a puppy. What else would we get but another Goldendoodle just a little smaller this time. So, Piver, our small apricot Goldendoodle gal came along in an Easter basket surprise. Our kids were thrilled with their adorable bundle. Again we had an amazing Goldendoodle. Surely this wasn’t just chance and Goldendoodles were the best dogs ever.
