Macie
Macie has been a bundle of golden joy since the day we brought her home. She is super social & friendly – so loving & playful especially with other dogs and children. She greets everyone and loves belly rubs, playing tug of war and squeaky toys. Macie’s favorite game is hide and seek…she has lots of spunk that never seizes to amaze us. She loves to play with her sister Penny who lives down the street. She is a delight to our family. We are so thankful for her! -Alan and Julie, MN
Teddy
I had the most amazing breeder experience with Golden River Puppies! Karrie is the most customer centric breeder I have ever worked with; her attention to detail and exceptional customer service was nothing but superior! I was looking for a very particular mini goldendoodle (certain weight/color/hair texture/temperament)- and Karrie answered all of my questions with grace and detail! I also have a 4 year old bubbly Shihpoo- so it was very important that I found a puppy that was very sociable and outgoing. Teddy- is more than I could ever ask for! He not only is the "life of the pawty," but is energetic, fun, bubbly, and loving! We adore and love Teddy so much; he is the center of all attention and brings our family & his "pup-brother," Wallie, so much happiness! We couldn't imagine our lives without our Teddy Bear!

Millie
Millie is the most lovable and friendly dog our family has every owned ( and she had big “paws" to fill). She has stolen the hearts of John, Will, and myself. She LOVES BIG! She loves playing with her toys, other dogs or with her people. She loves car rides, visits to stores, and going on travel adventures. She loves the attention she gets from those that see her (EVERYONE always wants to pet her and say how cute she is). She loves snuggles at night to “wind down” before bed. One reason that I think she gets so much attention is that she does not walk….. Millie prances! Her eyes and personality light up a room.
Millie is super smart. She was so easy to housebreak (rang bells on back door). Millie went through training and is so proud of how she heels and places when asked.
We highly recommend GoldenRiver Puppies. The Lanz family kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the entire process of our pet adoption. Their time and dedication as breeders is so evident. I have recommended them several times and know of at least one family waiting on their GoldenRiver puppy!
Thank you GoldenRiver Puppies for our Millie— our family is complete! We cannot imagine our lives without her!

Pono
The Lanz family throughout the process was very informative and kept updating on when the mom conceived and when they were all born! Pictures and videos came when we requested them which is a huge plus since we decided to take a chance, in hopes of not getting scammed, which during pandemic, scamming was huge! All authentic and 100% legit breeders. Cannot thank you guys enough for giving us an opportunity to raise one of your puppies!

Schnoochum
Golden River Puppies is a first class breeder! We couldn’t be more pleased with our precious Schnoochum. The puppy’s are raised in a friendly family atmosphere with excellent socializing with children. We would recommend traveling cross country if necessary for one of their puppies.

Luna
Luna is almost one year old now and we are so happy we got her from Karrie and Josh at Golden River Puppies. They had great communication with us during the whole process and would send us pictures of Luna as she grew before we could come pick her up. At first it took a little adjusting having a dog of our own, but we love her. We would describe her personality as sassy but extremely loving. She always loves to cuddle with us and was easy to train. It is so fun watching her grow and mature. She also absolutely loves little kids which we contribute to Luna being raised initially by Karrie, Josh, and their three children. We have had many people comment on how cute she is, and some have even asked where we got her. We are so happy we got Luna through Golden River Puppies and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a miniature goldendoodle! -Daniel and Karla, MN
Zed
Zed has the sweetest personality, sleeps by my desk all day, loves walks around the neighborhood, every kids on the block wants to pet him, and he loves the grandkids. Jon and Del Garlock, IL
Bijou
Bijou is doing very well, we love to have her! She is a joy for us, she is easy going, smart, playful, the best cuddler and has the sweetest eyes! We all love to spend time with her and she makes our life more fun!
Bijou was easy to train, knows to ring the bell on the back door to go outside, has her place in the yard where she goes and we clean each time. The kids teach her commands and she is attentive and learns fast. She has a mellow, sweet and caring temperament. She is about 25-30lbs. The vet always tells us that she is a perfect, smart lady dog!
Penny
Penny is the most perfect little dog for me. She is absolutely the sweetest thing ever and so beautiful. I am not exaggerating when I say she stops traffic. Everywhere I go people want to look at her and talk to her. And she is so smart. Thank you for bringing this wonderful gift in my life. -Cathy, GA
Rylee
This is Rylee, our 9 month old. He loves people, is a dynamo of energy, and a delightful addition to our home. We can't stop feeling how lucky our family is to have found Golden River Puppies and our wonderful doodle, Rylee. Thank you Karrie and Josh for making this possible! Bob and Kathy, MI
Charlie
We picked up our Mini Golden Doodle from Golden River Puppies September 7th 2019. He is a wonderful companion. He loves to be snuggled, play fetch and go for walks. He loves to run and play with all his dog toys. He has the funnest personality and shows his love for the whole family. There isn’t one of us he doesn’t greet at the door when we arrive. He is very smart and potty trained within about 8 weeks. He gets along great with other dogs and loves to run and okay with them. He weighs 22lbs and is perfect match for our family. We love him to the moon and back. 100% satisfied with our little bundle of love. I highly recommend Golden River Puppies! Great communication and very sweet to deal with. Thank you GRP- Lloyd, MI
Lola
We got Lola from Golden River Puppies in Sept 2019 and is 10 months old! Lola has the sweetest personality. She is always excited to see us when we get home and welcomes us with lots of energy and absolutely loves to be loved on! Lola loves people, and enjoys playing with us, our boys and our other dog. She was potty-trained and crate-trained within a few weeks of bringing her home. Lola definitely completes our family!
Karrie and Josh were AMAZING to work with! They took the time to get to know us, allowed us to visit Lola and would send pictures, videos and updates! When we visited, you could tell that the moms and puppies were so well taken care of! We are so thankful we got Lola from Josh and Karrie!

Riggins
We adopted our male mini Goldendoodle, “Riggins,” 9 months ago. He is absolutely beautiful, and charming! In fact, when we take him out to parks or outside eateries it’s not uncommon for people to inquire about him. They are drawn by his gorgeous coloring, soft hair, small size (he is 25 lbs), engaging personality, and that he is well behaved. Riggins has also trained well too and is working towards earning his certificate to be an emotional support dog.
When we were going through the adoption process, Karrie was wonderful to work with. We live in Arizona and we’re not able to meet our puppy in advance, so Karrie sent us pictures and a video and would tell us stories about him. We had Riggins flown to Arizona and Karrie had everything organized and ensured that our pup was comfortable and even had a blanket that had the scent from his litter, and a chew toy.
We feel so lucky to have this little guy in our lives!
If we adopt again, I will definitely go through Karrie! -Colleen L., AZ
Penny
We love our Penny so much! When we were shopping for puppies, we were hoping for a sweet, friendly, brave dog who would be a good companion for our active kids. Penny loves being around people and thinks everyone wants to be her best friend. She loves to play and cuddle and is very smart and sassy. No one in our house can walk by her without stopping to pet her, and she loves every minute. We really can not imagine life without her. Amanda R., MN
Golden
Golden is almost a year old, she is just at 20lbs. She is an active companion that helps with all the chores on the property. She is a very smart and trainable lady. She is becoming proactive with her chores and anticipating our commands. Very friendly and loving with family of all ages. Cautious with stranger and not aggressive. Golden is a wonderful addition to our family! Here she is sporting her covid hair style. -The Carpenter's, IN
Beau
We are so pleased with our mini golden doodle we purchased in November from Josh & Karrie. As first time pet owners we had a lot of questions before we even picked up our puppy. They answered all of our questions, had great suggestions and even started calling our puppy by his new name, Beau. Karrie even checked in a few times after we brought Beau home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Beau is now a healthy, very playful, social, 7 month old and weighs about 24 lbs. Beau is also very smart and has learned many commands easily. We would happily recommend getting a puppy from Josh & Karrie.

Winnie
Winnie is truly the most amazing puppy - I don't even know how I got so lucky. She's about 15lbs, and our vet doesn't think she'll grow much more. She's so eager to please, and people-centric which has made training a breeze. She's so smart, she learns everything so quickly, just the other day she learned how to shake in the span of an hour! She was fully potty trained about two weeks after we got her home, and even when we moved from my parents house into a house of our own, she didn't regress. She's also such a cuddly girl, she loves to lay on top of me and sleep and just wants all the love and affection she can get.- Erin, MN
Copper
We were nervous selecting a puppy from a photo, especially half way across the United States. Thank you so much for making this a great experience and our family has gained so much. Copper is 9 months old. He loves to play and run. He's great with our son. We really haven't had a bad experience with him. I wanna get a brother or sister out of Autumn's future litter, but my wife's shut me down on that. Still working on that.- Chancey E., AZ
Bailey
Bailey, our mini Goldendoodle is precious. At 18 pounds she is lean and muscular with a wooly coat that does not shed! The staff @ Petsmart Doggie Daycare call her "a fuzzy ball of energy" ! Always ready to play, she is a lot of company...a constant companion. And of course, Bailey loves everyone. There's never been any growling ever. She is quick to learn commands but does them " in her own time". All things considered, Bailey is a great dog to have! Lynn W., IL
Brady
Brady is so sweet & funny! He is house-broken (we use the bell system), he sits, & knows how to shake. He loves having his tummy rubbed & is always so excited to see us when we get home from school & work! He loves stealing socks & dish towels every chance he gets & has a crazy fetish with chewing on the edges of our sleeves. He enjoys playing with his sister, Bella, 8 yr old Dachshund...when she’s in the mood. Sometimes he pretends she is a hurdle & leaps over her. He’s been to the groomer twice & getting used to being brushed. My aunt was in town last week from AZ. She has always had Golden Retrievers but when she saw Brady she threatened numerous times that she was going to take him home with her to AZ!
We really love him so much & can’t imagine not having him in our life! -Natalie, NE
Leo
Leo is such an awesome little dog. He has a fabulous personality and loves everyone. He is super smart and is learning a lot. He just finished an obedience class and will continue his training so we both learn together. -Jennifer M,OK
Archie
Archie is doing great. Such a sweet puppy! We love him so much. -Logen W, AZ
Bruno
Bruno has been such a blessing to our family. We got Bruno when our beloved Charlie got hit by a car. Oddly enough, Bruno was born on the day Charlie died and we felt that it was a sign that we needed to have him in our life. He has been such a joy to have. He is so full of love and wants to be around us all the time. He is so cuddly and loves his belly rubbed. He listens really well and knows when he does something wrong. Currently we have an obsession to the plastic ends on shoelaces so we have to make sure to put our shoes away or he will make sure those are taken off! He loves to be outside and running around. His buddy Kirby (8 year old Morkie) are buddies but sometimes Bruno thinks he is his play toy and sometimes drags Kirby around by his collar. Kirby lets him know right away. They love to play and chase each other. He has definitely filled the void we had when we lost Charlie. Sometimes we think it's Charlie in Bruno's body as sometimes Charlies personality comes through. Especially his jealousy when we give attention to Kirby, Charlie hated that and always butted in and Bruno does that all the time. Thank you Golden River Puppies for this amazing addition to our family. We love him so much! -Tracey, MN
Bear
I am so thankful I found Golden River Puppies. They made everything so seamless when working to get our puppy. We lived out of state, and they made it so easy for us to ship him. They were very helpful and answered any questions I had. They even made themselves available to face time with our desired puppy since we did live out of state. They provided all medical history and any pertinent information needed about our puppy. If we ever decide to get our puppy a friend, we will definitely use Golden River Puppies again. I highly recommend them! - Amy T, OK
