About Us

When we say our puppies are highly socialized we mean it. We expose your puppy to various sounds, smells, textures, tastes, sights and challenges. What is exceptionally unique is that all our pups- both adults and puppies- are handled and played with every day by us, our dogs, our kids, and our friends. Your puppy has been raised by a human centered mama dog in a human centered environment, which is something that must be truly authentic to achieve the temperaments we produce in our pups.

Our Grace is a purebred English Cream Retriever imported from Europe. Every dog we have ever produced comes from Grace’s impeccable genetics. We lost our Grace in 2024 but her genetics are still very much alive and in our lines today. English Cream retrievers are a beautiful icy white color, but also have blockier heads and a more laid back personality compared to their American Retriever cousins. We love this effect in a Goldendoodle, the outcome is a gorgeous dog that favors the look of a Golden Retriever more so than the poodle. By using the English Cream Golden Retriever as our matriarch, we can ensure a dog with a “calmer” temperament as compared to some of the other popular doodle breeds. That’s not to say the Goldendoodles cannot be working dogs, we have several pups in our program that have grown to be service, therapy and even diabetic alert dogs. Contrary to popular belief, Goldendoodles can come in any variety of colors and patterns including red, white, apricot, chocolate, sable, phantom, merle and parti.

Grace had 2 litters, one purebred English Cream Retriever litter and one F1 Goldendoodle litter. Blue was a boy we kept back from her Golden Retriever litter that we hoped to stud. Blue has a giant blocky head, excellent structure and comes from Champion lines…however he was missing one crucial feature of a stud- fertility. Blue was never able to pass along his genetics, but he shares his spirit with us every day! He’s our big baby and attention hog, for sure!!! To know our boy Blue is to love him!

Grace welcomed her second litter on December 30^th, 2017- a beautiful litter of F1 English Cream Goldendoodles with Beaux, a white standard poodle. Grace had 7 beautiful puppies and we kept Tessa Mae, the “purple collar puppy” as our own with hopes to breed her one day and carry on Grace’s lineage. Tessa Mae has been an incredible mama in our program, she has welcomed 3 beautiful litters- “Tessa’s 12 Pack with Prince”, “Tessa’s Irish 10 with Bandit”, and “Tessa’s Reinadoodles with Sir Benjamin Buttons”. Tessa was retired and spayed after her final litter in early 2022. We have kept several boys and girls from Tessa and Grace’s lines in Guardian homes and continue to carry on their heritage.

Here at Southern Skies doodles, we are pleased to offer 6 amazing studs. In addition to siring our own litters, our goldendoodle studs are also available for outside service to approved programs. We offer live coverage here in Cumming GA or we ship nationwide using our reproductive vet, Dr. Ana Adams at Westside Village Animal Hospital. Dr. Adams is one of the busiest repro vets in the Southeast and always has a teaser for a great collection. In fact, Dr. Adams uses our studs to breed her own girls- many who she purchased through our program. In addition to Dr. Adams as a valuable resource, Amanda can also perform artificial insemination, guaranteeing services if you use one of our boys.

Arthur formally “Guinness” from Tessa x Bandit’s Irish 10. Guinness will always have an extra special place in our heart.

He grew to be big and strong and his foot completely resolved on its own.
