About Our Program:
At Cali Pals, we specialize in breeding Goldendoodles and offer Service Dog training, led by our Certified Service Dog Trainer. Our mission is to ensure our puppies can assist as many individuals as possible, whether that is being an amazing pet dog or an amazing Service Dog. Our pups are known for being calm, affectionate, and intelligent companions who thrive on love and attention. Our puppies are raised in a nurturing environment alongside children, people of all ages, other dogs, cats, and occasionally livestock. They experience both indoor and outdoor living, which aids in their potty training. Starting at six weeks, we begin crate training to facilitate an easier transition for families. We conduct temperament testing at six weeks to help families select the right puppy for Service, Therapy, or as a Pet Dog, providing valuable feedback to ease their decision-making process. Our breeding dogs live with Guardian Families or as our personal cherished pets, ensuring they enjoy a loving home environment rather than being confined to kennels. At Cali Pals, our goal is to raise puppies from birth with positive training techniques, fostering their development into intelligent, well-socialized, and loving companions. Please note that while we strive for hypoallergenic puppies, we cannot guarantee this, as some may inherit traits from the Golden parent rather than the Poodle, leading to variations in coat types and shedding.

Our
Story
Cali Pals is a mother-daughter business with over 15 years of experience. Our breeding program aims to produce Service Dog quality puppies for individuals with disabilities. We focus on empowering families to train their own Service Dogs or providing them with well-bred, easily trainable family pets. Our puppies excel as Service Dogs, Therapy Dogs, Emotional Support Dogs, and Facility Dogs. We maintain high standards in our breeding process and carefully select dogs to ensure they pass on desirable traits. Our Goldendoodles are affectionate companions that truly make a difference in people's lives, and we love hearing the incredible stories from our clients! Currently, we breed Multigenerational Goldendoodles, known for their calm demeanor, trainability, and family-friendly nature. Some generations may be low-shedding and hypoallergenic, allowing those with mild allergies to consider one of our puppies. (Please note, we cannot guarantee hypoallergenic qualities, so inform us of any allergies before making a decision.)
If you are interested in a Service Dog, please be aware that you must qualify with a disability and provide a doctor's note indicating that you would benefit from having a Service Dog.
Located in Hollister, CA, our 5-acre ranch has been operating since 2010, successfully training and placing Service Dogs, trained pet dogs, and puppies. We hope you enjoyed learning about our program, and we look forward to helping you find your ideal companion!
