WHERE FAMILY, CARE, AND CAVAPOOS COME TOGETHER
At Golden Valley Puppies, we believe that raising a Cavapoo is not just about breeding—it’s about nurturing, loving, and preparing a new family member for a lifetime of joy.
Meet Our Family
Hi, I’m Lindsy!
As the heart and voice of Golden Valley Puppies, I handle everything from your first inquiry to the final farewell. A stay-at-home mom to four spirited children, I grew up surrounded by dogs and learned early on the joy of raising healthy, happy puppies.
Kevin: The Other Half of Golden Valley Puppies
My husband Kevin is a true jack-of-all-trades—farming, agronomy, and always up for a DIY project. He’s also my steadfast partner during late nights on puppy watch and the cleanup crew when puppies make a mess.
Our Kiddos
Our kids, ages 16 to 9, are hands-on in every aspect of puppy care. From baths and walks to styling with bows and bow ties, they ensure each pup is loved and socialized. Our children's involvement is more than just a cute interaction - it contributes meaningfully to each puppy's development and future success in their new forever homes. They are an active and powerful influence in shaping happy, healthy, family - ready cavapoo puppies.
Our Very Own Cavapoo: Meet Maime
Maime, our own Cavapoo, is more than a pet; she’s a surrogate mom to every litter. Her gentle nature and nurturing instincts help teach our puppies the warmth and affection they’ll bring to your home.
What You’re Getting With Your
golden valley cavaopoo puppy
We raise our puppies with intention, structure, and lots of love. Each one is given the time and training they need to thrive physically, emotionally, and behaviorally.
Early Training & Development
At Golden Valley Puppies, our preparation begins early and is thoughtfully tailored to each puppy's unique temperament:
Behavior training suited to individual personalities.
Basic potty training skills to establish early habits.
Crate training that creates a secure, comforting space for rest and sleep.
Desensitization to household noises, helping each puppy grow into a calm and adaptable adult.
Socialization with children, adults, and other animals to foster confidence and friendliness.
Weekly bathing, eye trims, and nail filing, ensuring your puppy is well-accustomed to grooming.
Sit training using positive reinforcement—yes, our puppies know how to sit before they come home!
We keep our puppies until they are 10 weeks old—two extra weeks beyond the industry standard. These final weeks allow us to focus deeply on independence, refinement of training, and polishing behaviors so your puppy is ready to transition confidently and calmly into your family.

Why Cavapoos?
what sets cavapoos apart
The Ideal Companion for Every Family
The Cavapoo, a cross between the affectionate Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the intelligent Miniature Poodle, is a breed that offers the perfect blend of warmth, intelligence, and adaptability. At Golden Valley Puppies, we have chosen to focus exclusively on Cavapoos because they are truly exceptional family companions.
