Taos Dood Ranch

   Rio, our golden doodle stud, gets his size from his poodle sire, Rusty, from Tropico Kennels, but he is not just large.  He is smart, obedient, gentle and always willing to please.  He is also an excellent sire to his large families of F2 puppies.  He is attentive and playful with the pups, and dotes on Aspen, their mother.                                            

His American Platinum Retriever dam, Kiki, from Southern Cal Kennels (previously Tropico Kennels,) gave his wonderful towhead undercoat and gorgeous plumed tail.  His handsome outercoat curls come from his sire Rusty, named for his vibrant red coat.  

We are proud to announce that Rio has successfully passed his OFA testing proving that he is genetically sound to pass on his blood lines.                       

Aspen, is an excellent breeder and mother.  She is very attentive to her pups and they thrive on her rich milk.  When she is not tending a new litter she loves to play in the water, swimming and fetching flotsam in our stream.  She is a keen tracker and water retriever just like her retriever dam, Meadow, out of  Southern Cal Kennels (previously Tropico Kennels,)  

Aspen is also smart, hypoallergenic and non-shedding like her poodle sire, Cream Soda, also from Tropico Kennel.

Aspen, our new mother, gave birth to 8 perfect, beautiful, and healthy F2 Goldendoodle pups on July 14, 2007. For more info click, here
