We prioritize the health of our parent dogs and feel it is important for them to live active, happy, and spoiled lives. They accompany us on hikes, camping trips, car rides, and sit at our feet while we work and relax. They are well-trained, with our hope to obtain the Canine Good Citizen Certification. They are also health tested with genetic testing, as well as OFA hip, elbow, patella scans, & cardiac exams.
What are you looking for in a dog? A family companion? Someone to keep you active for walks or hikes? An emotional support animal? A service dog? These are all great reasons. We can help you find the right puppy that fits perfectly into your life. We temperament test each of our puppies on a series of personality traits such as motivation to learn, human focus, confidence, energy level, touch tolerance, and tender heartedness so we can assist you to find the right match.

We prioritize the health of our parent dogs; raise empowered puppies through curriculum work and temperament testing; and we honour our puppy families with constant communication and assistance in finding the best match.

Goldendoodle Breeder Ontario Review
What some of our clients say....
To Jillian at Boreal Puppies,
Kathy and I want to thank you for being who you are and what you do. There are lots of breeding kennels out there, but what you have created in your home is something special and we understood that right away. We were impressed with your attention to detail and concern about every aspect of us becoming parents to little puppy Taz (Avalanche). A big thing is that they are clearly loved and brought into a family straight away. And the time you take to introduce them to touch, smell, texture, sound really shows, as we have only had him a few days - already he's become relaxed and attentive to his new home. We have had dogs in our life forever, and missed their companionship and love. You've given us that through Copper and we deeply appreciate that, perhaps more than you might know.
Big thanks....Kathy and Tim Dyer"

Jillian was such a delight to work with! She does an amazing job making sure the pups are well taken care of, socialized and introduced to various things early on! She takes pride in making sure you get the right fit for you with temperament testing, video chats, in-person visits, etc! She sent us on our way prepped for our new adventure with an information package, food, treats, poop bags, a collar, a great puzzle for metal stimulation and more! Thank you so much Jillian! - Hunter, Jeremy, and Zeus!"

Tell Me More About Goldendoodles!
Goldendoodles are an incredibly popular breed, and for good reason. They are known for their gentle temperaments, intelligence, and low-shedding coats, making them the perfect companion for families, individuals, or even those in need of a therapy or service dog. At Boreal Puppies, we strive to produce well-tempered, socialized, and confident puppies that will adjust easily to their new homes and bring joy to their new families.
Whether you’re looking for a playful puppy to join your active household or a calm companion to relax with at the end of a long day, Boreal Puppies is here to help you find the perfect match. As one of the top Goldendoodle breeders in Ontario, we are committed to ethical breeding practices, focusing on health, temperament, and socialization to ensure our puppies are of the highest quality.
What is a Goldendoodle?
A Goldendoodle is a crossbreed between a Golden Retriever and a Poodle, bringing together the best qualities of both breeds. This designer dog has been winning hearts across Canada and beyond due to its friendly, loving nature and its often hypoallergenic coat. But what exactly makes Goldendoodles so special?
-
Golden Retriever Traits: Golden Retrievers are known for their friendly, gentle, and loyal nature. They are great with children, other pets, and strangers, making them the ultimate family dog. Their love for play and outdoor activities makes them a fantastic fit for active households.
-
-
Poodle Traits: Poodles, particularly Standard Poodles, are highly intelligent and easy to train. Their coats are low-shedding, which is a significant reason why Goldendoodles are considered hypoallergenic. Poodles also bring a certain elegance and energy to the mix, making Goldendoodles a unique blend of playfulness and grace.
Together, these traits make Goldendoodles an ideal breed for families, singles, and individuals looking for a loyal, smart, and affectionate companion.
At Boreal Puppies, we aim to bring out the best in every puppy, ensuring they are well-rounded, healthy, and ready to be a part of your family.
Do Goldendoodle Puppies Shed?
One of the most appealing aspects of Goldendoodles is their low-shedding coats, which make them an excellent choice for people with allergies or those who prefer less cleaning up after their pets. However, the amount of shedding can vary depending on the type of coat your Goldendoodle inherits.
Goldendoodles can have three main types of coats:
-
Curly Coat: This is the most Poodle-like coat and sheds the least. It’s ideal for families who want a hypoallergenic pet. However, curly coats do require regular grooming to keep them free of tangles and mats.
-
Wavy Coat: This is the most common coat type for Goldendoodles, offering a perfect balance between the Golden Retriever’s softness and the Poodle’s curls. Wavy coats tend to shed minimally but may require brushing several times a week to reduce shedding.
-
Straight Coat: This coat type resembles the Golden Retriever’s coat more closely and will shed more than the curly or wavy varieties. However, straight-coated Goldendoodles still shed much less than a purebred Golden Retriever.
At Boreal Puppies, we are always here to guide you in managing your puppy’s coat, whether it’s curly, wavy, or straight. We offer tips on grooming, brushing, and the best ways to keep your home as fur-free as possible!
How Long Can Goldendoodles Live?
Goldendoodles are generally a healthy breed, and with proper care, they can live long and happy lives. The average lifespan of a Goldendoodle is between 10 to 15 years, though some have been known to live even longer with the right nutrition, exercise, and veterinary care.
Several factors can influence your Goldendoodle’s lifespan, including:
-
Genetics: At Boreal Puppies, we take great care to ensure our parent dogs come from healthy lines. All our breeding dogs are genetically tested through Embark, and we also perform orthopedic and other health tests to ensure your puppy has the best start in life.
-
Diet: Feeding your Goldendoodle a balanced and nutritious diet is essential for their long-term health. We’ll provide you with detailed feeding guidelines for your puppy to ensure they grow strong and stay healthy.
-
Exercise: Goldendoodles are an active breed, and regular exercise is crucial for maintaining their physical and mental health. Daily walks, playtime, and interactive games will help keep your puppy fit and happy throughout their life.
At Boreal Puppies, we’ll support you throughout your puppy’s life, providing advice on healthcare, nutrition, and exercise to ensure your Goldendoodle lives a long, healthy life filled with love and adventure.
How to Trim a Goldendoodle
Grooming is an essential part of owning a Goldendoodle. Their coats, whether curly, wavy, or straight, require regular care to keep them looking their best and feeling comfortable. While Goldendoodles are known for their hypoallergenic qualities, their coats can still become matted or tangled if not properly maintained.
Here are some grooming tips to keep your Goldendoodle looking sharp:
-
Brushing: Regular brushing is key to preventing mats and tangles. Curly-coated Goldendoodles may need daily brushing, while wavy and straight-coated dogs can usually get by with a few brushings a week.
-
Bathing: Goldendoodles should be bathed every 4-6 weeks to keep their coats clean and healthy. Use a dog-friendly shampoo and make sure to rinse thoroughly to avoid any residue that could irritate their skin.
-
Trimming: Goldendoodles benefit from professional grooming every 6-8 weeks. This includes trimming their coat, especially around the face, paws, and tail. Many owners also opt for a full-body trim to keep their dog cool and comfortable.
-
Ear Care: Goldendoodles are prone to ear infections, so regular ear cleaning is a must, especially after baths or swimming.
At Boreal Puppies, we provide all new puppy owners with detailed grooming instructions and tips. We also recommend trusted local groomers to ensure your Goldendoodle stays in top condition.
How Much are Goldendoodles?
The price of a Goldendoodle can vary depending on factors such as the breeder's location, the puppy’s lineage, and the size or coat type. At Boreal Puppies, we offer competitive pricing for our high-quality, well-bred Goldendoodle puppies.
On average, Goldendoodles can range from $2,500 to $4,000, depending on their size (Standard, Miniature, or Toy) and their coat type. Our pricing reflects the care, attention, and health testing that goes into raising each of our puppies.
When you choose a Boreal Puppy, you’re not just paying for a dog—you’re investing in a companion that has been raised with love and care, thoroughly socialized, and vetted to ensure they are healthy and happy. We also include health guarantees, vaccinations, and early training support to give your puppy the best start in life.
When do Goldendoodle Puppies Stop Growing?
Goldendoodle puppies grow quickly during their first year of life, but they usually reach their full height by around 12 months. After that, they will continue to fill out and gain muscle mass until they are about 18 months old.
Here’s a breakdown of typical Goldendoodle growth stages:
-
0-6 Months: This is the period of rapid growth. Your puppy will likely double or even triple in size during these first few months.
-
6-12 Months: Growth begins to slow down, but your Goldendoodle will continue to gain height and weight.
-
12-18 Months: By 18 months, your Goldendoodle will have reached their full size, although some dogs may continue to fill out a bit more after their first birthday.
At Boreal Puppies, we will provide guidance on how to support your puppy’s growth and development through proper nutrition and exercise, ensuring they grow into strong, healthy adults.
