Looking for a mentor who has bred Mini Goldendoodles — brand new and want to do this right
Body:
Hi everyone,
I have a 2-year-old Mini Goldendoodle female. She’s had one heat. I’m considering breeding her for one litter, but I’m brand new and honestly overwhelmed. Before I do anything, I want to learn from someone who has actually done this responsibly.
I’m not asking for a stud right now. I’m looking for a mentor or experienced breeder who would be willing to talk me through the basics:
· What health testing she needs first
· How to time a breeding
· What whelping actually involves
· How to screen homes and write a contract
· Costs and risks I’m probably not thinking about
· Whether it’s even a good idea for my dog
If you’ve bred Mini Goldendoodles, Poodles, or Goldens and are willing to share advice, I’d be really grateful. I’m happy to pay a consult fee or compensate you for your time. I’m in [ Naples , Florida ] but happy to talk online.
I’m not trying to cut corners or be a backyard breeder. I’m trying to learn before making a mistake. If your advice is “don’t do it,” I’m open to hearing that too.
Please comment or DM me. Thank you.

Try r/MiniGoldDoodles, r/Goldendoodles, r/DogBreeding, and local Facebook doodle/breeder groups. Check each group’s rules first — some ban breeding posts.
Important:
Don’t mention selling the litter in the post. Just ask for a mentor. Once you have someone experienced helping you, they can guide you on the rest.
