I had the heartbreaking task of giving him up last week for his final phase of training. My family knew going into that this was temporary but nothing could have prepared us to say goodbye.  It is for this reason that I am contacting you. We are interested in purchasing a "teddybear" doodle from your organization. I have also spoken with another raiser who has Orion's brother Orbit. We are both interested in getting another one from you.

Just wanted to take this time to tell you THANK YOU! Molly is a wonderful addition to our family. She is so smart! Just as you assured me she is loving her kennel and has had 2 solid weeks of no crying or barking when she goes in at the end of the day. It is great! Her housetraining is going well. She knows which door to go to and she does it most of the time on her own. Molly’s personality is so laid back. We are amazed that she is so quiet. She loves to have her tummy rubbed-

So many people have commented on her looks and personality. We feel blessed to have found your kennel-

We picked up our standard goldendoodle puppy, Mulligan, from Rosewood Kennels last year at this time. We drove (all day!) to their home to pick him up. I found the facility to be clean, spacious and appropriate in every way. The kennel building is about 10 steps from their home, and many of the breeding dogs were in the fenced area playing. It was very clear to me that these dogs are part of their life, not simply a business. We stayed at their home for over an hour. There was a newer litter of minis actually in their kitchen for close watching. There was a new European Golden puppy in the house, I know she is now a breeding dog, too. Their pet Goldendoodles were in the house, and appear to be members of the family. I had no concerns whatsoever, and was pleased to know our puppy had a great start. He showed little fear, and quickly bonded to us.

We had a golden retriever for 14 years, she just passed away of lymphoma. I knew I wanted to get a puppy before she died. I researched  breeds extensively, and decided on a goldendoodle. I feel very fortunate that I found Jana. Mulligan is a wonderful dog, a joy to our family. He was a very healthy puppy, our veterinarian has been impressed by him since day one. I also brought the contract to the vet to review, and he said it was one of the best puppy contracts he had seen. Mulligan house trained very easily and rings bells to go outside, which is perfect for us. He rings the bells, we stop whatever we are doing to put him out. He like to chew, so we keep lots of rawhide chips on hand (hide your good shoes!). We have a fenced back yard which he enjoys. However, he is a total housedog.

Mulligan at 1 year old weighs 72#. He had not had an "accident" in the house since he was about 4 months old. He is a beautiful golden color, does not shed a bit, and has personality plus. (Much to his dismay, the ruler of the house is still the 6# Yorkshire Terrier). When we take him for walks, we are invariably stopped and asked what breed he is and if they can pet him. Everyone loves Mulligan. If he were a child, I believe that he might be the class clown...the curly hair on his head, his big feet and size, and his love of making people smile.

When Jana & Jim were vacationing in Duluth this fall, they looked me up and called to ask if they could visit to see Mulligan. They came over and obviously cared about how he was, and were so happy to find a spoiled goldendoodle. That's when I told her to use me as a reference!

I am confident you will be as happy as we were.

Jana was great to work with.  On the pickup day, she hugged each puppy with tears in her eye before giving them to their new owners.  This told us a lot about the genuine love she has for her dogs.  Our vet was also impressed with the care our goldendoodle had received from Rosewood Kennels.

 As for the goldendoodle breed, Remi, our 4 mo old teddy bear black goldendoodle has been one of those true joys of life.  Even my wife, who previously had nothing to do with our labs, has allowed Remi the run of the house.  Absolutely no shedding, and easy to train due to her innate intelligence.  Jana had her 80% potty trained at 7 weeks and also trained to use a doggy door. 

 I have highly recommended Rosewood Kennel to friends as their first question after meeting Remi is usually “where did you get such a beautiful dog?”

We are so happy to have gotten our Goldendoodle, Molly, from Rosewood Kennel.  Jim and Jana are committed to breeding and raising happy, healthy, friendly dogs.  They care about each of their puppies (Jana had tears in her eyes when she handed us our Molly) and they are extraordinarily caring and helpful even after the pups are placed.  They hand-raise their puppies and are masterful at choosing your puppy to match the traits you are seeking.  We wanted a moderately active, affectionate dog for a first-time dog-owning family, and our lovely Molly is the perfect dog for us. She is a fluffy ray of golden sunshine, smart, affectionate, playful and beautiful. She is well-adjusted, learns quickly and was very easy to train.  And she doesn’t shed!  We thank our lucky stars that we discovered Rosewood Kennel and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking this extraordinary breed of dog.

As first time dog owners, we are very pleased with our new golden doodle, Riley, which we got from Jana and Jim Moeding, of the Rosewood Kennels.  Jana was wonderful to work with; she answered all of our questions when we were trying to decide if this was the right breed for us and helped us through the process all along the way.  Waiting for the babies to be born brought back memories of being an expectant mother and Jana kept us informed all along the way…. And then the birth came and we got pictures within the first few days and updates at least weekly so we could see the puppies grow.  The dogs were “assigned” to their owners on the basis of their preferences and we couldn’t have been given a better puppy for our family and lifestyle.  Our new puppy is now four months old and is very well mannered and a wonderful dog for our family of three active boys.  He is definitely a “cutie” and also very much a lover….  We couldn’t be more pleased!!

Thank you again for everything.

Molly is now eight months old and has been a great dog.  She is just what we were looking for.  A low shed, medium sized goldendoodle with a friendly temperament who is good with kids of all ages. Our experience with Rosewood was nothing but positive.  Thanks for going the extra mile in getting her to us (no pun intended).  I know you had to make several trips to the airport before the weather cooperated enough for her to fly.  We appreciate the extra effort.

We love Bentley so much. He is all trained using the bell. He will sit/stay on command and sleeps through the night with no problem. No fuss when we leave him in his crate during the day. He carries his leash when we walk and never goes in front of me.

The best dog I have ever had. My husband says the best part of his day is opening the door to Bentleys crate in the morning and having him rush into his arms.

We are looking forward to starting puppy kindergarten with her this coming week.  We are thrilled with our experience from Rosewood Kennels and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone seeking a golden doodle puppy!

Dear Jana,

 Just wanted to let you know that Sir Elliot is doing great.  At four months, everyone is amazed at how smart he is and makes note of his exceptionally calm temperament.  He just recently graduated from Puppy Kindergarten with flying colors.   Now that he has learned tricks and is fully potty trained, he is working on training us to do what he would like.  Little sharpie! Our parents lovingly refer to him as their first grand-doodle.  

He has brought so much joy to our lives and we eagerly await his new half brother’s arrival!

UPDATE: Price Hairry has arrived and has settled into his new family. He already has won their hearts! Lucky boy!

This is Marley. He continues to be the best dog!  A definite family dog! 

We went to the vet yesterday , everyone in the vets office loves him!

Attached is a picture of Kramer.  He is almost 5 months and doing wonderful.  He’s currently in puppy kindergarten and is one of the best dogs in his class; he will graduate a week from today.  For the most part he is very mild mannered.  He gets the “zooms” a couple times a day….we just let him run and watch in delight.  Our seven year old son loves him as does our entire family.  We get many compliments on how well behaved he is.  We took him swimming a few weeks ago and he loved it.  He also likes his bath; sometimes we find him in his empty bathtub.  He loves other animals and people.  Sometimes he loves people too much, he gets so excited with they come to the door we have to hold him back.  We are currently working on greeting people calmly, but sometimes he just can’t help himself.   He also rings the bell when he has to go out to potty.   We will keep in touch and share pictures of Kramer as he gets older. 

You were a delight to work with, thank you!!!
