Cedar Lake, renowned for its picturesque fishing charm, is also home to the beloved Cedar Lake Doodles. Situated in Slinger, Wisconsin, this breeder has earned widespread recognition for producing a diverse array of doodle puppies known for their affectionate nature and unique qualities. At the heart of this program is Amy, whose reputation for excellence extends across Wisconsin and the greater Midwest.

Cedar Lake Doodles offers a wide range of sizes to meet every family’s lifestyle, including Standard Goldendoodles (50 lbs and up), Medium Goldendoodles (35–50 lbs), and Mini Goldendoodles (25–35 lbs). For those seeking a smaller companion, Petite Goldendoodles (15–25 lbs) are available as well. The program also includes Double Doodles, Mini and Medium Bernedoodles, and both Mini and Medium Golden Bernedoodles—also referred to as Golden Mountain Doodles.

Puppies are adorned in curly or fleece coats and come in a stunning palette of colors such as English cream, apricot, red, chocolate, black, and combinations like black and white, chocolate and white, sable, merle, and phantom. These coats are artfully patterned in styles like solid, tuxedo, tri-colored, and parti-color, making each Cedar Lake Doodle truly one of a kind.

The Puppy Adoption Process

A $200 nonrefundable deposit secures your place on the General Waitlist for Cedar Lake Doodles, rather than reserving a spot in a specific litter. When puppies arrive, Amy contacts families via email or phone to discuss breed, color, and gender preferences, and to confirm the anticipated ‘gotcha’ date. If the timing doesn’t align with your schedule, you’re welcome to roll over to the next available litter. Puppy selections occur at around 5–6 weeks of age, supported by photos or FaceTime sessions to help you choose. 

If you decide to pass on selecting a puppy at this point, your place will move to the end of the waitlist to allow other families their turn. Prompt communication is appreciated to ensure a smooth process for all. After one year on the waitlist, a renewed deposit is requested to keep your place active. Every puppy is sent home fully vaccinated, microchipped, and examined by a licensed veterinarian to ensure a healthy start.

Adoption Process Highlights:

• $200 non-refundable deposit to join general waitlist
• Puppy preferences (breed, gender, color) confirmed at birth
• Puppy selections at 5–6 weeks via photos or FaceTime
• Rollover options for timing flexibility
• Renewed deposit required after 1 year on the list

Health Testing, Guarantees & Veterinary Care

At Cedar Lake Doodles, Amy’s commitment to health and wellness is at the core of her breeding philosophy. Every parent dog undergoes thorough DNA screening to rule out hereditary conditions, alongside orthopedic evaluations conducted by OFA-certified veterinarians. These assessments cover hips, elbows, patellas, heart, and eyes to ensure long-term soundness and structural integrity. By maintaining these strict health standards, Amy ensures that every Cedar Lake Doodle puppy has the best possible start to life—robust, healthy, and prepared for a happy future.

Health & Veterinary Highlights:

• DNA and OFA testing (hips, elbows, patellas, heart, and eyes)
• Puppies are vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped
• Licensed vet exam prior to going home
• 2-year health guarantee covering tested conditions

Training & Socialization Foundations

Each Cedar Lake Doodle begins life with structure and stimulation through a well-rounded series of training initiatives. Amy incorporates the Super Dog Bio Sensor (ENS) protocol during the first 16 days to enhance stress resilience, cardiovascular health, and overall wellness. Puppies begin indoor potty training at three weeks of age, followed by outdoor potty training at five weeks.

During this time, they are also introduced to sit and recall exercises—important building blocks for future obedience. Throughout their development, they are exposed to a variety of surfaces, environments, and sounds, all within a clean and organized home that reinforces consistent habits. These efforts ensure the puppies grow into emotionally balanced, socially confident, and highly trainable companions.

Key Training Highlights:

• Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS)
• Indoor potty training begins at 3 weeks
• Outdoor potty training starts at 5 weeks
• Sit and recall training is introduced early
• Exposure to various surfaces, sounds, and environments

Preparing for Your Puppy

Amy provides families with essential guidance on what to bring on pickup day, including food recommendations and crate setup. Puppies are sent home on a high-quality diet with instructions for feeding schedules, sleep routines, and crate transition. Cedar Lake Doodles’ attention to routine ensures a smoother adjustment for both pup and family.

Life After Adoption: Support & Expectations

Families are welcomed into a lifelong circle of support. Amy is highly engaged on social media and is readily available to answer post-adoption questions. Expect support with early adjustment, feeding tips, vet scheduling, and continued health care. Updates and new puppy announcements are often shared via Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, allowing families to stay connected.

Why We Love Them at Happy Pup Manor

We’ve had the joy of welcoming many Cedar Lake Doodles into our training programs—and it shows. These puppies come to us curious, confident, and ready to learn. Amy and Desiree’s love and consistency shine through in their litters, and we often say, “The dog doesn’t lie.” Watching the puppies light up when their breeders walk into the room speaks volumes. Their nurturing approach creates puppies with strong social foundations and unwavering trust.

Amy and Desiree, the dynamic mother-daughter-in-law team behind Cedar Lake Doodles, are truly the heart and soul of the operation. Their home is immaculately clean and thoughtfully organized, which supports early potty training and healthy routine development. On multiple visits, we’ve witnessed firsthand how excited the puppies get when Amy and Desiree are near—a clear sign of the love and connection they’ve fostered.

Cedar Lake Doodles is also one of the few breeders offering the North American Retriever, more commonly known as the Double Doodle—a cross between a Goldendoodle and a Labradoodle. This breed was originally coined by Helene Roussi in 2006, with a goal of blending the drive and resilience of a Labrador, the gentle temperament of a Golden Retriever, and the intelligence and hypoallergenic coat of a Poodle. The result is a smart, loving, and low-shedding companion ideal for both service roles and family life.
