Born and raised in the heart of our home, every puppy is nurtured underfoot in our living room alongside our five children and our cats. We believe this soulful environment is the only way to raise a truly well-adjusted companion, and we balance that heart with uncompromising scientific integrity.

Anchored by rigorous health standards—including comprehensive OFA clearances and genetic DNA screening—we ensure every puppy begins their journey with a foundation of strength and structural excellence. This commitment to vitality is the heartbeat of our program, and we back it with a written 2-year health guarantee to ensure your "Golden Life" begins with total confidence.

At Windsong, we believe raising a puppy is about more than genetics or training. It is about heart, connection, and giving each puppy the strongest possible start.

Raised inside our loving family home, our puppies receive intentional early development, daily enrichment, real-world experiences, and an early service-based curriculum that helps build confidence, focus, and connection.

All Windsong puppies go on to become beloved companions, and many grow into exceptional therapy dogs and service dogs.

Because bringing home a puppy should feel like bringing home family.

When you choose Windsong, you choose family.

We Believe In Raising Our Pups With:

  • The first thing to know about Windsong is that we are NOT a kennel or a facility. Our puppies are raised INSIDE our home with our 5 children. They receive round-the-clock care from birth until they join their new family at 8 weeks.

    Our puppies are loved on from their first day of life by children, cats, and most of all me! At 4 weeks, they move to our living room, where they can observe and interact more closely with our family. By the time you pick your puppy up at 8 weeks old, he/she is used to the noise and commotion of daily life in a busy family home.

    How to choose the right Goldendoodle breeder in California.

  • We are committed to breeding genetically sound dogs and providing the world with healthy puppies. We raise our pups in a pristine home, favoring a holistic lifestyle, including providing only the best. Our team does not take shortcuts. We go above and beyond to make sure each and every client has the support they need to replicate this at home.

    Before you receive your pup, we can guarantee they have been nourished with a high-quality diet, twice-filtered water, proper supplements for optimum support and growth, and that every parent dog has the necessary genetic testing (which is our key to raising healthy puppies).

    We are passionate about health and are proud to offer a 2-year health guarantee on all our puppies.

    Explore what health testing a responsible Goldendoodle breeder should provide.

  • The happiness and well-being of our moms, dads, and puppies are extremely important to us. All of our breeding dogs live in our home or in loving guardian homes with their forever families.

    Our puppies have so much fun during their first 8 weeks of life with us at Windsong. They offer daily enrichment and a comprehensive curriculum that encourages our pups to be confident, well-socialized, and unfazed by the world outside the confines of our loving home.

    We believe there is a right and wrong way to breed. We are not a kennel; all of our dogs are well-cared-for and cherished family members.

  • "We constantly receive compliments on her manners, coloring, and how well-rounded she is. That truly speaks to Windsong’s quality breeding."

    5.0 ★★★★★

    We heard about Windsong Doodles through a family friend and connected with the owner, Jillian, right away. She took the time to answer all of my questions by email and phone and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. We originally planned on a Goldendoodle but ended up choosing a Sheepadoodle litter, and we couldn’t be happier. We absolutely love our Sheepie girl—she’s everything we hoped for and more. Now at 9 months old, we constantly receive compliments on her manners, coloring, and how well-rounded she is. That truly speaks to Windsong’s quality breeding. We also used their 4-week training program, which was a great experience and incredibly helpful. Because of our amazing experience, we are now returning customers and are getting a second dog. I highly recommend Windsong Doodles, especially their Sheepadoodle litters. You won’t be disappointed!

  • "Jillian and her team at Windsong are AMAZING! "

    5.0 ★★★★★

    Our little pup is now a year old, and we can’t imagine life without her. The owner, Jillian, is incredible. Always willing to answer questions and give recommendations. The basic training that our dog got from when she opened her eyes to when we picked her up was a huge help to us. She was potty-trained and knew a few basic commands that really helped us out. We like to have friends and family over of all ages, and our pup was so well adapted before we got her, which is another wonderful thing that Windsong does! They made sure that our dog was able to interact with people of all ages. She was even very gentle and cautious with my newborn niece. When the time is right, I can’t wait to get another doodle from Windsong. If you want great quality, Windsong is worth every penny and worth the wait!

  • "From the moment I brought my Windsong puppy home, she has exceeded every expectation I had."

    5.0 ★★★★★

    From the moment I brought my Windsong puppy home, she has exceeded every expectation I had. At just 8 weeks old, she was already potty trained with not a single accident, picked up basic commands almost instantly, and began sleeping through the night in her crate without a peep. And she’s not even 9 weeks old yet! It’s clear Jillian puts incredible time, care, and love into her puppies — and it truly shows. The transition into my home has been unbelievably smooth, something I never could have anticipated with such a young puppy. Jillian has been nothing short of amazing throughout the entire process, going above and beyond to prepare her puppies for success and supporting new families every step of the way. I highly recommend Jillian and Windsong Doodles to anyone looking for not just a beautiful puppy, but one who comes home already confident, well-prepared, and loved.

  • "I can’t say enough good things about Windsong! "

    5.0 ★★★★★

    I’m a guardian for two of their mamas, and I’ve seen firsthand how intentional and thoughtful their entire breeding program is. Their puppies have the best temperaments—calm, loving, smart, and so well-rounded. Both of my dogs are incredibly gentle in public and easy to train, which says so much about the foundation Windsong gives their litters from day one. They clearly put so much heart, knowledge, and effort into producing healthy, confident pups. If you’re looking for a doodle that’s not only adorable but truly exceptional in behavior and temperament, Windsong is the place. I recommend them 100%!

  • "He is everything we could have dreamed of in a dog and so much more. "

    5.0 ★★★★★

    Hi! I just wanted to share how much Gus, from the pasta litter, has meant to our family. He is everything we could have dreamed of in a dog and so much more. Everywhere we go, people comment on how handsome he is, how beautiful his coat is, and most of all, what an incredible temperament he has. I know breeding and raising dogs is your business, but the joy your dogs bring to families goes far beyond that. Gus has truly been such a light in our home, and I know so many others feel the same about their dogs because of you. Thank you for the care, dedication, and love you put into raising such wonderful family companions. It really shines through in the dogs you bring into the world. Thank you!! 10/10 recommend!!

  • "Windsong has the most amazing, thoughtful program, down to every detail!"

    5.0 ★★★★★

    Windsong has the most amazing, thoughtful program, down to every detail! They are great at communicating and helping you understand each step! I loved seeing all of the updates in real time along the way and felt confident in the process! I truly appreciate how much work they put into raising healthy, happy, and well-mannered puppies! I would recommend them to anyone! We were really happy to see that they offered additional training at 8 weeks old. We opted for 2 weeks to give our guy a head start at learning his manners before welcoming him home. Veronica is very detailed, answers all of your questions, and even shares videos for you to understand how to interact with your puppy. She spent so much time socializing him safely and making sure he’d be confident and independent, which made us feel so much more confident as new puppy parents! I really appreciated her checking in with us after he was home and offering tips to help us stay successful!

  • "They raise each litter with so much love and care. "

    5.0 ★★★★★

    After thinking months and months about which breeder to go with, we ultimately decided to go with Windsong, and we have no regrets! They raise each litter with so much love and care. They have been so helpful and accommodating, even though during the time I was on a litter, I was in a different country at the time. They still emailed me pictures and videos and kept me updated as the puppies were growing. We got her right before the July 4th fireworks, but because they get them used to loud sounds at such an early age, she was not scared of the fireworks at all. She slept through it all, actually. Our puppy did a 4-week training with Veronica, and I 1000% recommend it. I got many update videos throughout her training period, and she answered all the 10383 questions I had. She came crate trained, potty trained, knows certain commands, and more. She is so, so good at her job. Our dog is not scared of going outside, not scared of loud noises, loves kids, loves her feet and ears touched (will be good for when she goes to the groomers). If I ever get another goldendoodle, I would 100% go with Windsong Doodles again and again!

  • "I’m so thankful we found this breeder!"

    5.0 ★★★★★

    I’m so thankful we found this breeder! The entire process, from before the puppy was born, was seamless and very informative. They always sent us pictures as the puppies were developing, and showed us what kind of environment they were being raised in until we could pick them up.

    Our puppy, Grizzly, was the sweetest boy and has the best manners, which all start from the youngest age. I can only recommend Windsong Doodles to anyone who wants a life companion who is sweet, loved from the beginning, and will surely bring joy to their life!

Frequently Asked Questions

We want you to feel completely confident as you prepare to bring your new best friend home and start your journey into "The Golden Life."

We’ve gathered the answers to the questions we hear most often about how we raise, health-test, and deliver our signature Teddy Bear puppies.

  • We are located in the heart of Southern California, serving families from throughout Southern CA and beyond. But the most important thing to know is that we are a family, not a kennel or a facility. We have five kids and a very busy, loving household. Our puppies are born and raised right inside our home, underfoot and in our arms. By the time they head to your house at 8 weeks, they’re already used to the "beautiful commotion" of daily life—the vacuum, the kids playing, and even our cats. We think that makes them the best kind of well-adjusted family companions.

  • Think of it as a head start for a great life. We don’t just "let them grow"; we follow a specific curriculum that includes ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) and confidence-building exercises. We want our puppies to be brave, smart, and intuitive. This early work is why so many of our dogs go on to be amazing therapy or service dogs, but honestly, it’s just as important for a puppy that’s simply going to be your best friend. It makes them calmer, easier to train, and much more connected to their people from day one.

  • Choosing a breeder is a big decision, and in a state as big as California, you’ll see everything from large facilities to backyard setups. Look for a goldendoodle breeder who is completely transparent about health testing—not just a vet check, but actual OFA clearances for hips, heart, and patellas, along with genetic DNA screening. A reputable breeder should also be able to tell you exactly how the puppies are raised. Are they in a kennel, or are they underfoot in a home? At Windsong, we believe that being a "leader" in this breed means prioritizing both the science of health and the heart of a family-raised environment.

  • Raising puppies in a home environment, rather than a kennel, makes a world of difference in their temperament and transition. Puppies raised "underfoot" are naturally more intuitive and emotionally in tune with people. They arrive at your home already understanding the rhythm of a family—they’ve been snuggled on sofas, watched our kids play, and felt like part of a family from day one. This creates that "velcro-dog" bond and service-dog potential that Windsong Doodles are known for.

  • Socialization starts long before you pick up your puppy. You want a breeder who exposes their litters to the sights and sounds of real life. Our puppies are raised inside our home with our five children and our cats. They are used to the "beautiful commotion" of a busy household—vacuums, doorbells, and lots of hands-on love. This early exposure helps them grow into confident, unfazed adults who are ready for everything from a hiking trail in Colorado to a quiet afternoon on a patio in Scottsdale.

  • Health is everything to us. We’ve all heard the horror stories associated with "backyard breeders," and we go the extra mile to make sure that isn't us. We prioritize scientific integrity, which means every one of our parent dogs must pass their "big three" OFA tests (Hips, Heart, and Patellas) and full genetic DNA checks before they ever have a litter. On top of that, every single puppy we send home comes with a 2-year health guarantee. It’s about giving you that peace of mind that your new best friend is built for a long, vibrant life.

  • A legitimate health guarantee is only as good as the health testing of the parents. To find a breeder you can trust, ask to see their OFA and DNA results for their sires and dams. Because we put so much work into vetting our parent dogs, we are proud to offer a comprehensive 2-year health guarantee on all our puppies. It’s our way of standing behind our lines and giving our families peace of mind that their new best friend is bred for a long, vibrant life.

  • That’s one of the main reasons we love this breed! We specialize in that iconic "Teddy Bear" look—the blocky heads and the plush, wavy coats. Most of our puppies are F1B or Multigen, which are the best options for families who need a low-to-no shedding, hypoallergenic dog. While no dog is 100% allergy-proof, our lines are specifically bred to be very friendly for people who usually sneeze around dogs. You get that soft, "hug-a-cloud" feel and the "velcro-dog" personality without finding hair all over your sofa.

  • We would love that! While we’re based in SoCal, our "Teddy Bear" puppies have found families all over California. We offer a wonderful "white-glove" flight nanny service where your puppy stays right with a real person in the cabin the whole way. Just keep in mind that since this is a personalized service, travel is an additional cost on top of the puppy price. We handle all the logistics so you can just focus on getting the house ready for your new arrival.

  • Yes! We are one of the few boutique breeders in Southern California that offers a structured training curriculum right in our home. Our signature "Puppy Kindergarten" goes way beyond the basics. We use Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and intentional socialization to build confidence and focus.

    Whether you’re in Los Angeles, San Diego, or Orange County, you can choose from our 4-week or 9-week training options to give your puppy a massive head start on potty training, crate training, and manners before they ever leave our arms.
