Hello
Thank you for your interest in Auri Goldendoodles! We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to introduce ourselves and share what makes our breeding program truly special.
My name is Jana, and together with my dear friend Anri, we founded this breeding partnership in 2020. Based in Pretoria and Vanderbijlpark, we are deeply passionate about raising happy, healthy, and well-socialized Goldendoodles who bring joy to their forever families.
Our setup
At Auri Goldendoodles, our breeding dogs are much more than part of a program—they are our beloved pets and cherished family members. They live in our homes, share our lives, and even join us on holidays. Our special Rylee is lovingly cares for by Anri, while I’m managing our Golden Retriever females in the guardian programme.

Our litters
Our females typically have one to two litters each per year. While we aim to space the litters throughout the year, Mother Nature often sets her own timeline. Once pregnant, our moms carry for approximately 63 days, and the puppies remain with us for nine weeks before they’re ready to meet their new families.
Our puppies are raised in our lively, loving homes, surrounded by children, other pets, and everyday household sounds. This environment helps them adapt to different situations, such as children’s playful energy, the company of other animals like cats and dogs, and the typical hustle and bustle of family life.
Growing up
When fully grown, Goldendoodles have a wide weight range influenced by their parents. Our Poodle male typically weighs 18-23 kg, while our Golden Retriver females weigh 20-30 kg. As adults, our Goldendoodles generally fall within the 20-30 kg range, making them the perfect blend of size and charm

Finding a home
When it comes to finding the perfect match for our puppies, we prioritize compatibility over a traditional waiting list approach. While we often have many interested families, we dedicate time to ensure that each puppy is placed in the best possible home. Our process includes a short, informal interview where we discuss your home environment, family dynamics, and preferences, such as timing, coat type, and gender.
The cost
Our Goldendoodles are R25 000.00.
This price reflects the extra care, premium genetics, and dedication we invest in breeding healthy, well-socialized Goldendoodles with stunning coats. We believe in providing not just a pet, but a loyal family member for years to come.
To Conclude
We believe it’s essential for families to understand the Goldendoodle breed—their unique needs, traits, and personalities. These intelligent, affectionate, and playful dogs thrive in environments where they are given love, attention, and the right kind of care. By taking the time to make thoughtful matches, we set both our puppies and their new families up for a lifetime of happiness together.
