Lynn and Jim Fleck get an A+ for the attention and care which they provide to their Mamas and Papas as well as their pups. They are good to them and good to the adopters, like us. read more

I am surprised that I haven't already written a review for Wine Country Goldendoodles. Our wonderful dog Sadie is almost five and continues to give us so much pleasure. She is loving, smart, somewhat obedient (our fault) and just about the best dog we've ever had. Lynn and Jim use science to breed healthy, predictable F-1 puppies but it's the love that makes the difference. Their warmth and love for the puppies starts their lives so positively that I have never heard of one of their puppies growing up to be anything but and extraordinary dog. read more

If I can give 1000000 stars I would! My perfect pup just turned 7 months and she's given me the best 7 months of life! Jim Lynn are two of the sweetest people ever and a huge reason why I went with Wine Country Goldendoodles. I know I'm biased but I literally have the cutest dog I've ever seen :). Great family breeder who made me feel so comfortable with such a big decision of bringing a puppy home. They truly care about who they choose to take one of their pups home and have been such a support from the days I was preparing and waiting to take my baby home to now even 7 months later. This has become a great community for me and my dog and I can't recommend them enough!!! read more

My dog Truman just turned 14 last week. He has been the best dog! We love him so much. He is the best family dog, the sweetest temperament and the most handsome boy. Everywhere we go, we get stopped by people who want to say Hi and meet him because always seems to be smiling. My sister and my oldest friend have gotten dogs that have been great members of the family, from Lynn. Subsequently, there are at least three to four other families, that have gotten dogs from her too. Everyone says the same thing! The Flecks, stay in touch too. We get a birthday greeting every year from them. I recently saw a friend go through a terrible experience of bringing a puppy back to a bad doodle breeder. Beware of breeders with no waitlist. I have a new appreciation for WCMGD! read more

Our infatuation with Henry continues. He is smart, sweet, and mellow. He appreciates the simple pleasures - sniffing butts and chasing tail at his twice weekly puppy socials. He recently graduated summa cum laude from Puppy 101. Quite simply, he is the perfect dog. Lynn and Jim gave us a new best friend (and likely bought me 24-36 months before my wife demands children). Money well spent if you ask me. A word of caution for those looking at other breeders: If they have puppies available now for your immediate pick up, this is a huge red flag. There is a reason Lynn and Jim have a waiting list. Every puppy born has a home before he is even conceived. You will be a part of his life from day 1 with Lynn's frequent email updates, and at 7 weeks, you will pick up what will be the best dog you have ever had. Thank you Lynn and Jim, we couldn't be happier with our pup. read more

I am thrilled with my one-year old male pup named "Casey" from Wine Country Goldendoodles. I feel that I didn't just pay for the puppy, but for the hours upon hours the breeders spent before, during and after the puppy left the litter. The breeders take their work very seriously, and do it with a great deal of love and sense of service. This is my experience with Wine Country Goldendoodles: I was looking for a dog who was not huge, shed very little or not at all, was easy to train and was gentle and kind to people of all ages. I was also looking for a dog for a specific purpose: to be a facilitated service dog for my brother, who lives with a brain injury, and/or a therapy dog for my community service. I didn't go out in search of a goldendoodle. I was open to going to shelters and to AKC breeders. I had had two dogs before, but decided to hire a professional trainer. I chose a trainer who said she'd had 30 years of experience to assist me in finding the "right" dog, so that I could decrease the chance of finding myself bonded to a dog that had no aptitude for the work I wanted to do. At Wine Country Goldendoodles, the trainer met the family who bred Casey. She emailed them that she was impressed by the care they took in breeding and socializing the puppies, and readying them for their new homes. On our first visit the trainer temperament tested the litter. She declared that there wasn't one puppy in Casey's litter who wouldn't make a wonderful companion, but she chose Casey because of his balanced temperament and his potential to become a service dog. I thought, Canine Companions for Independence breeds Labradors and Golden Retrievers to create a mix for the needs of their disabled population, and man has been interbreeding animals for specific purposes as long as recorded history, Why should I not purchase a dog from dedicated breeders who are creating the type of dog I need? The trainer encouraged me to stop my search because, in her experience, goldendoodles were easy to train and had wonderful dispositions. She assured me that we had indeed met our match. The breeders ask for references so they know the puppies go to a good home. They give you beautifully prepared information on potty training and positive training in the puppy's first months. They ask that you sign a contract so that you return the puppy to them should it not work out. They check in by email to stay in touch. They are serious about wanting you to have a happy, healthy and well-adjusted dog. In the following months I have found that everything the trainer said has come true -- and more. Wine Country Goldendoodle's Casey never ceases to amaze me: Last week, two days before his first birthday, he became certified for canine-assisted therapy in hospitals, or working with me to help kids improve reading skills in local elementary schools. During his first year he passed four Humane Society trainings, which he just loved, because Casey loves to learn. It takes him about 3-4 tries to learn just about anything. In the past few weeks he has learned to "retrieve" the newspaper from the mailbox 4/10 of a mile away - and drops it at my 85 year-old mother's feet. He loves agility jumps and tunnels and loves to play fetch. Casey is fun, sensitive, interested in the world and kind to children, other dogs, and is friendly to everyone he meets. His Benji -looking face attracts people everywhere we go. People stop me to ask what type of dog he is and some ask where they might find one like him. That's not to say that anyone should run to Wine Country Goldendoodles and purchase a puppy. Casey has reminded me that all dogs are a huge responsibility and owning one takes an enormous commitment of time. A goldendoodle like Casey has taken more time than other dogs I have owned because he is high energy, intelligent and mischievous. As the trainer warned, he needs two high-energy, burn-out sessions a day, then he happily curls up at your feet. On allergies: Yesterday on our walk a man stopped to say that he was caring for Jayber, a half-brother of Casey. He was doing this because his wife was testing out whether she might be allergic to the breed. He said she was "allergic to everything, but had no allergies to this Wine Country goldendoodle." My experience (as a person who is very allergic) is that certain dogs can be hypo-allergenic, but breeders need to know allergies remain case specific: any dog can cause allergies in anyone, some cause fewer allergies than others. A goldendoodle falls into this category. In sum, It didn't surprise me at all when I noticed that the trainer had redesigned her cards to put a goldendoodle on its face saying,"these cards speak the most about me and the work that I do." I'd like to put a photo of Casey on my business card too, because day-by-day Casey and I are growing to become very much a human-canine service team. read more

I have an almost two year old Goldendoodle female pup named Charlotte from Wine Country Golden Doodles. Charlotte has almost as many fans as Calvin's Hobbs. Yesterday my husband and I picked out our second puppy. She will be Lucy. It was like picking a puppy in dog heaven. The older dogs were out playing in a meadow. The mom and dad were beautiful, and the mom is such a good mother. The pups are adorable and healthy and smell like Twinkies. They are used to being held and loved. They began crate training at 4 weeks! Somebody in the family gets up at 4 in the morning to take them out. This is a huge help for house-breaking. I encourage any one interested in getting a mini Goldendoodle pup to check out this breeder. This is a loving family that raises only one litter at a time, retires their mother dogs at a young age, and provides the puppies with hands-on loving care. You will also find that they are well able to answer any questions you have regarding genetics etc.. I have recommended this breeder to family and friends, and to many strangers who watch Charlotte and say, "Where did you get that wonderful dog?" Couldn't resist getting another one. Upddate: Lucy is 3 months old, smart and loving. Soft mouth, comes when called (almost all the time) and is snuggle cute. read more

We are proud parents of two Mini Goldendoodles from Wine Country Goldendoodles. Our first, Abbie is turning 5 this month and she is an absolute doll! She is smaller than most and very sturdy. She is incredibly smart and learned over 20 tricks very early on with just a couple of tries. She loves everyone and her tail wags constantly! Our second doodle is just turning 1 this month, Mocha. She has a completely different personality from Abbie, but a joy just the same. We call her our ball girl, she loves tennis balls and will chase them all day long as long as you're willing to throw them! Our experience with Lynn and Jim has been awesome! They really care about their moms and the pups! They work with each prospective family to make sure they are matching the personality of the puppy to the home. Additionally, they really help new family's understand the best way to bring a new puppy into the family environment. We highly recommend Wine Country Goldendoodles and encourage everyone interested in a Mini doodle to talk to them. We're sure you will love them and their puppies. We have referred several families and all are extremely happy with their new family members! read more

Lynn snd Jim do an incredible job in breeding their mini goldendoodles. They work very hard and are dedicated to making the best puppies they can. They go the extra step to make sure these puppies are gently cared for and get all the socialization these beautiful little puppies. I stopped by one day, unexpected, snd found Jim sitting on the ground with three little girl puppies that he brought out of the okay area because he wanted to remove the smaller girls from the larger boys who were being to rough. It was so sweet to see him caring so much about the care of these sweet little puppies. My guy is 4 now and he is the perfect mini goldendoodle. He turned out to be about 5 lbs larger than we expected but we could care less about a few pounds. He was a puffy little fur ball that we did not expect would be so curly but he changed at about 1 year has beautiful curly hair and a long gorgeous tail. You never know what you will get with an F1 goldendoodle but Jim and Lynn have been doing this long enough that they have the knowledge to breed the best dogs. You won't be sorry about getting your pup from them. I doubt you will find a better breeder. I have the dog from Wine country Goldendoodle that everyone I meet wishes they had this sweet, smart gentle little boy with the perfect coat and gentle soul. read more

I purchased a Goldendoodle with Wine Country Goldendoodles and I am very happy. His name is Terkel and he is a loving happy puppy. They really took good care of him for the first 8 weeks and now it is our turn to take good care of him. If you are local in the San Francisco Bay Area I highly recommend using Wine Country. Lynn was very quick to call me back and return phone calls for all of my questions. We are so happy now! read more

My sweet "Sunshine" is now 6 months old -- and I couldn't be happier. If I had hand-picked/created a dog with traits that I wanted in a puppy -- it would be exactly what I have in Sunshine! She's super smart -- lots of energy -- loves everyone she meets (people and dogs!- and oh yes, they love her too!) and a great cuddly companion who always makes me laugh! Lynn and Jim care so much about the pups they breed -- raise them the first two months in a loving happy home -- they go out to their forever homes in love with the world! I don't know that they 'specifically' potty-train -- but my Sunshine has never once gone potty in the house! And -- from the first day -- she sleeps until I wake up! Yay! Though I don't usually make recommendations for anything -- as what works for me won't necessarily be what works for someone else -- I would recommend Wine Country Goldendoodles to ANYONE looking for a GREAT companion from a GREAT family/breeder. I couldn't be happier and am forever grateful - not just for the sweet puppy Lynn and Jim sent my way -- but for having two such wonderful people come into my life!! read more

We could not be more satisfied with our now 6 month old goldendoodle, Sadie! She is the perfect dog! Just as important, is the fact that Wine Country Goldendoodles is a great organization.

Micky will be a year old in a week. Can I say, "Greatest dog EVER!" My two girls, 9 and 12, just love our Goldendoodle. He's super intelligent, doesn't shed and has the greatest personality. Lynn and Jim take so much pride in their dogs. read more

We purchased a mini goldendoodle from Lynn and Jim 5 years ago. We were initially interested in the breed because we had owned golden retrievers in the past, and wanted a smaller breed that didn't shed. We fell in love with the look of the breed, but had no idea what an amazing the personality they had. Our dog, Finn, is an absolute joy. He is a lover of life. He has a great combination of being extremely playful and very loving. He adjusts very well to new situations. We moved cross county when he was a few years old and he took no time at all to adjust. We travel to Florida each winter and he sits in the backseat with a smile on his face the whole time. We really haven't trained him to do anything beyond the basic commands, but he could clearly learn a lot more. He is very tuned into anything we do and anticipates much of our behavior by watching our unintended cues. I have had dogs my entire life and would never consider getting a dog anywhere else. Wine Country Goldendoodles are the best. Worth every cent! They usually have a waiting list for a good reason. read more

If you're looking for the perfect dog, look no further than Wine Country Goldendoodle's. We absolutely adore our sweet boy, Jax, who is not only adorable, but has the most wonderful personality. Our little guy is like a celebrity in town! So many people want to stop and meet him because he's so friendly and loving. Jim and Lynn were great to work with and did a wonderful job socializing him. I am very picky and researched several breeders when we first considered getting a dog, but ultimately decided to work with Jim and Lynn because we felt confident we would get a very healthy and well-rounded pup. We have been thrilled with our decision! Highly recommend! read more

I'm a positive reinforcement dog trainer who has had the pleasure of working with some new puppy parents who adopted their pups from Wine Country Goldendoodles. I am so very impressed with the proactive approach this breeder takes to early puppy socialization and positive reinforcement training. This breeder urges her clients to meet with a positive reinforcement trainer BEFORE getting the puppy. I can't tell you how much of a difference that makes when it comes to raising a behaviorally well dog. I get so many calls from folks who received poor or no advice from breeders, whose puppies missed out on early puppy socialization and as a result have developed behavioral problems. Bravo Wine Country Goldendoodles! read more

You are lucky if you get a dog from Wine Country Goldendoodles. They are just the sweetest, most family friendly dogs you can imagine. My husbands father was a vet and they had many dogs while he was growing up. My husbands says this is the best dog he has ever owned. read more

We have had our doodle for a little over a year and he has been an amazing addition to our family. When you are looking for a dog like a doodle you really have to be cautious about breeders out to make money regardless of quality. But Lynn and Jim are really family breeders. The dogs are handled and socialized tons while at their house. Their facilities are clean and homey. And best of all the dogs they breed have wonderful temperaments. Well-bred doodles are so much fun. Consider getting yours from these folks. We love our pup! read more
