Preparing for the Realities of Goldendoodle Puppy Ownership - Education is Key! You can see our available red Goldendoodle puppies on our website at  red Goldendoodle Puppies for Sale . Irish Goldendoodle Puppy from Sunshine Acres  Over the last several years, we as Americans, Canadians, etc, have been blessed with a thing called "Immediate Gratification".  Although this has been great, it has also made us impatient at times. To raise a puppy, patience is one of the first ingredients we need.  Unlike many items we may buy at the local super store, puppies do not come out of the box, install batteries, and they are ready to go. Goldendoodle puppies do, however, love to eat disgusting things, roll in smelly things, chew on everything, get sick, and need moderate exercise.  Not much different than most puppies.

Sunshine Acre's Irish Goldendoodle Puppies  Microchipping- Why is it vital for Goldendoodle puppies to have a microchip? One in three pets will go missing at some point during its life.  While an ID tag can help reunite a dog with its family, if the tag falls off or become unreadable, it is useless.  A microchip is a permanent ID that can never be removed or become impossible to read.  The microchip is implanted over the dogs shoulder blades and is about 1/8 inch wide.  Shaped like a grain of rice, this secure microchip is guaranteed for the life of your Goldendoodle .

Sunshine Acre's Beginning Although Michael grew up on a family farm in Iowa, and was involved in Agriculture, his first experience with genetics was in his undergraduate research at Iowa State University with Dr. Walt Fehr.  Genetics quickly became an interest to Michael in this work.   In 2000 he located on a rural acreage at our present location near Wolcott , Indiana.  It was then the Doodle dream was conceived and began to materialize.   At this time, there were very few hybrid breeds of dogs available, as the majority of breeders focused only on purebred breeds.  Michael’s interest in genetics led to him deciding to raise a family pet and therapy dog from lines that had been strictly selected for good health, outstanding temperament and trainability that was not a purebred, but a hybrid.   Interestingly, at this time, there were very few Goldendoodle breeders in the U.S, especially in the mid-west.  Few people had even heard of a “Doodle”.  Michael beg
