Goldendoodle Acres: The Choice for Goldendoodle Lovers

Nestled in the charming community of Neenah, Wisconsin, Goldendoodle Acres is a family-run breeder where purpose-driven care and puppy love come together. Under the loving guidance of Janece and her family, this exceptional breeding program specializes in fleece-coated, fully furnished, non-shedding Goldendoodles and Mini Bernedoodles in a range of sizes—from micro-mini (10–15 lbs) to standard (up to 70 lbs), as well as Mini Bernedoodles (25–45 lbs).

Each puppy is raised with hands-on affection in a nurturing home environment, never kennels, ensuring strong early development and emotional security. Renowned for their advanced health testing and early socialization methods, Goldendoodle Acres produces puppies that are calm, adaptable, and perfectly suited for life as cherished family companions.

Janece’s love for pups shows in each of their litters. She gives her pups the family in-home experience by keeping them in her home with her husband and children.

The Puppy Adoption Process

The journey with Goldendoodle Acres begins with a thoughtful and personal connection. After a phone conversation—an important step they do to ensure each pup is placed in a loving home—a $400 non-refundable deposit secures your spot on the General Waitlist. This deposit is applied toward the total purchase price.

There are three distinct waitlists based on your desired breed and size:

• List 1: Micro Mini, Petite Mini, and Mini Goldendoodles (10–35 lbs)

• List 2: Medium Goldendoodles (35–55 lbs)

• List 3: Mini Bernedoodles (25–50 lbs)

Families may choose to be on one, two, or all three lists, depending on their preferences.

Once a litter in a desired category arrives, they will send an email with photos of the two-week-old pups, details on the parents, and an expected pickup date. Take note that puppy selections based on individual puppies do not begin until six weeks of age, though gender preferences are determined earlier. If no response is received within 24 hours of the litter announcement, your place will be passed over for that round—but not lost. You’ll maintain your position on the list. However, if more than a year passes without response, your name will be removed.

When you commit to a specific litter, your name moves from the General Waitlist to that litter’s list. From that point on, you’ll receive photo updates at 2, 4, and 6 weeks. Should you back out after committing to a litter, you’ll be moved to the bottom of the General Waitlist. A second time will result in removal and forfeiture of your deposit.

At six weeks, each puppy undergoes a thorough veterinary exam, receives vaccinations, is microchipped, temperament tested, and weighed. Final selections are then made, and you’ll be contacted in order of your original deposit to choose your puppy. Goldendoodle Acres does not allow visitors to interact with puppies for safety and health reasons. However, families receive detailed photo updates at 2, 4, and 6 weeks, with puppies identifiable by unique ribbon colors. 

Puppy Pricing & Policies

Goldendoodle Acres offers a thoughtfully tiered pricing structure based on the anticipated adult size of each puppy:

Goldendoodle Micro Mini (10–15 lbs): $3,800

Goldendoodle Petite Minis (15–25 lbs): $3,200

Goldendoodle / Bernedoodle Minis (25–35 lbs): $3,000

Goldendoodle / Bernedoodle Mediums (35–50 lbs): $2,800

Estimating puppy size is part science, part art—there are many genetic factors at play. To keep things consistent, Goldendoodle Acres calculates the expected adult size by averaging the weights of both parents. That number determines the puppy’s size category, which then guides pricing. While most puppies stay within the predicted range, occasional surprises can happen. Pricing may also vary slightly depending on litter demand.

Training & Socialization Foundations

Goldendoodle Acres introduces Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) from the very first days of life, fostering early brain development and resilience. By 10 days old, puppies begin short car rides to improve adaptability and comfort with travel. At 3 weeks, litter box training begins using wood stove pellets to encourage cleanliness and prepare for outdoor potty routines.

Each day, the puppies are exposed to a soundtrack of common household and outdoor noises to build confidence and desensitization to everyday sounds. They are also introduced to a variety of new surfaces and locations to broaden their comfort zone. Around 5 weeks, crate training begins, and by 6 weeks, outdoor group play sessions occur twice daily to support socialization, exploration, and potty training.

Key Highlights:

• Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) protocol

• Short car rides starting at 10 days old

• Litter box training introduced at 3 weeks

• Daily sound desensitization with common noises

• Exposure to varied surfaces and settings

• Crate training begins at 5 weeks

• Outdoor group outings twice daily by 6 weeks

Why We Love Them at Happy Pup Manor

We absolutely adore working with Goldendoodle Acres pups. These dogs are intelligent, affectionate, and already have a head start in manners and socialization when they arrive at our manor. Their early exposure to structured routines, gentle handling, and careful breeding translates beautifully into our luxury board-and-train programs.

Because of their temperament and upbringing, Goldendoodle Acres puppies thrive in both family settings and specialized environments such as therapy or emotional support roles. They are responsive, adaptable, and eager to please—traits we value highly in training and long-term companionship. It’s clear these puppies come from a place of intention, care, and ethical breeding, which is why we are proud to recommend Goldendoodle Acres to families seeking the best start possible for their future furry companion.

“We at Happy Pup have been honored to work with some of the pups that have come from their program. The dogs are well-bred with great temperaments.” – Gabby
