Provide a nurturing guardian home for pick of the litter Golden Retriever and Doodle Dogs & puppies. Learn how to co-parent with the best dog breeder located in Hawaii.
A Guardian Home is a permanent home for one of our breeding males or females.
These are trained adult dogs, or sometimes we decide to keep a special puppy back from
our litters to continue our lines and program. Becoming a Guardian Home gives you the
opportunity to have one of our top-quality AKC Golden Retrievers as a loving family pet (or
service dog, or ESA) while he or she remains in our breeding program.
Who Benefits?
Each Dog
We believe that puppies or dogs are best served integrated into a loving family. Dogs are social animals that adore their families and want to be with them. Dogs want to be involved in their family’s daily life and participate as beloved family members. By placing them in a home environment, we are doing our best to ensure their happiness and stability, while continuing to grow our program and improve the health, training, and breeding lines.
Our Guardian Families
Guardian homes get an AKC registered Golden Retriever OR a top-quality Golden Doodle. You invest time, love, and cooperation. Additionally, our homes have the opportunity to receive compensation while working with your four legged family member. As a thank you for your love and care, along with getting the guardian dog for free (Value of: 10k Goldendoodle, 15k Golden Retriever), we will pay you a Mahalo fee for each litter (dependent upon litter size), we ask that this money be put towards spay/neuter at the end of time in the breeding program.
We frequently have get togethers and playdates with our guardian home families- we are a Hawaii Goldens Ohana!
The Golden Retriever and Golden Doodle Breeds
This program allows us an opportunity to train, test, title, and retest to ensure that the very best dogs will continue in this breed, improving the quality and health of Golden lines here in Hawaii.

The Breeding/Whelping Process
The dog will be bred after proper health clearances have been completed.Once the dog is in heat, she will come to our stud for breeding (approx 45min-1hr for 2-3 “dates”, or we can bring our stud to your home.
One week before whelping (for females), we will bring the dog back to our home to make sure everything is going according to plan and whelp the puppies. The dog’s health and safety are our number one priorities. No expense will be spared for her. Once she whelps, we will have her stay with her puppies in our family room, until the weaning process as decided by the Mom dog is complete (approx 4-6 weeks). At that point she will rejoin her guardian family. While she is with us she will be treated the way you do, with so much love and tenderness, and usually sleeping in the bed with us or the children, and getting pup cups at Starbucks….
A male dog in the guardian program must be made available for stud services exclusive to the breeder Hawaii Goldens.
-all breeding related expenses are paid for by the breeder.
