The Ironstone Philosophy.
The Vision At Ironstone Goldendoodles, our journey began with a simple but profound belief: that a dog is more than just a pet—they are a heartbeat at your feet and a lifelong member of the family. Based in the rolling hills of Southwest Wisconsin, we set out to create a breeding program that prioritizes the "Gold Standard" of the breed. For us, that means a perfect harmony of health, intelligence, and that signature gentle temperament that makes a Goldendoodle so incomparable.
The Foundation Our commitment to excellence is personified in our founding stud. At ten months old, he has already become the blueprint for everything we hope to produce: a coat like silk, an intuitive mind, and a joyful spirit that lights up our home . By raising him in the center of our daily lives rather than a kennel, we’ve seen firsthand how a nurturing environment creates a confident, well-adjusted dog. He isn't just our "model"—he is the heart of Ironstone.
The Promise We understand that choosing a breeder is an act of trust. That is why we are dedicated to transparency and rigorous standards, from genetic health testing to early socialization. When you bring an Ironstone Goldendoodle into your home, you aren’t just getting a puppy; you are gaining a companion that has been bred with intention, raised with love, and prepared for a lifetime of adventure. We don’t just breed dogs; we build the bridge between our home and yours.
The Ironstone Standard
Genetic Excellence: We prioritize rigorous health screening and genetic testing to ensure every Ironstone puppy has a healthy legacy.
Raised Underfoot: Our dogs are members of our family first. They are raised in our home, experiencing the daily sights and sounds of family life.
The Gentle Soul: We breed for the signature Goldendoodle temperament—intelligent, intuitive, and deeply affectionate companions.
