I believe golden retrievers and doodles should be a part of a family! They are such loving breeds! Willow, Maple, Hazel, and Oakley are our family pets here On Papa's Farm. We homeschool, so they spend each day inside next to the kids while they do school work and go outside to play when the kids need a break from lessons. I have decided to use Guardian/Co-Owner homes for additional dogs that I add to my breeding program so that all the mama's get ample individual attention and spend their lives being a cherished part of a family.
About the sires - I have considered purchasing a male to use in my program, but I have been warned by multiple breeders that it is unwise to keep an unneutered male in the house with unsprayed females. The males will spray. So while I'd love to own my own male, I also want any dog I own to be able to live in a home with a family. Until I find a guardian home (that does not have any unsprayed females) willing to own a male, I do pay for stud service when I breed. I have been using Louie, a 50 lb AKC Registered Standard Apricot Poodle.
