We Are Nichole & Dave We started Good as Gold Doodles because we believe good as gold isn't just a name — it's a standard. A standard for how our dogs are health tested, how our puppies are raised, and how every family is matched. Our intentionally small program is based in the suburbs of Baltimore, Maryland, and every dog we raise lives inside our home as part of our family. Both Nichole and Dave are hands-on from day one — from Early Neurological Stimulation at day three through the full Puppy Culture curriculum — because we believe how a goldendoodle puppy is raised shapes everything about who they become. We're not a kennel. We're not a volume operation. We're two people who care deeply about getting this right. Ingrid, our foundation dam, comes from Woodview Doodles — a program led by a GANA board member and one of the most respected goldendoodle lines in the country.
Our breeding dogs are selected for health, temperament, and the ability to pass their very best to the next generation. Every dog in our program meets full GANA health testing requirements — OFA physical clearances and a complete genetic panel — before any breeding takes place. Every puppy leaves with a 2-year genetic health guarantee.
