We don’t breed dogs — we make friends worth a lifetime.

Family-raised Golden Retrievers and Goldendoodles from Stardust Acres in Peyton, Colorado.

We are

Stardust Acres.

We are Lori and Karl, home crafters, specializing in laser engraving, traditional crafts, and more—based in Colorado, who fell in love with the intelligence and companionship of some truly amazing dog breeds. Each year, we raise a couple select litters of intelligent, trainable Goldendoodles and Golden Retrievers to be beloved family companions with the potential to excel in therapy, service, and everyday family life.

Breeding isn’t our main profession, but it’s a passion we love sharing with others who appreciate these wonderful dogs as much as we do. Before our dogs become parents, they are our dogs. We live with our dogs, know their personalities, celebrate their quirks, worry when they’re sick and love them long after their breeding years are over. We believe that the responsibility of bringing puppies into the world includes giving the best care to the dogs who make these puppies possible.
