TYPES OF GOLDENDOODLES
A Goldendoodle is a
cross between a Standard Poodle and a Golden Retriever, regardless which breed
is the mother, known as F1. A
Goldendoodle Backcross (F1B) is 75% - 25% is a F1 Goldendoodle bred back to either a
Standard Poodle or Golden Retriever usually the poodle. A F2B Goldendoodle is a doodle to doodle
breeding. In our case it is Ludwig’s
Doodles F1B girls bred with Murphy a F1 Goldendoodle. Their pups are 62.5% Standard Poodle x 37.5%
Golden Retriever. True doodle look and
build with a predictable coat.

ABOUT GOLDENDOODLES Goldendoodles tend
to be allergy friendly but is not guaranteed.
Most are light to non-shedding.
The Standard Poodle is classified as hypo allergenic and non-shedding
but some people even have allergic reactions with them. If the allergy is to saliva then all dogs
will affect you but the non shedding low dander dogs will affect you
less. All our F1B puppies oldest being
over 3 years old, are all non-shedding and hypoallergenic. They did not go through the shedding phase
at any stage of their lives. Their
coat is a soft texture with a curly, kinky/wavy look. Our F2B puppies oldest being over 22 months
are all non-shedding and allergy friendly. Our Goldendoodles
make wonderful companion dogs. They
are exceptionally friendly, affectionate, tolerant, adoring of children, very
intelligent, easy to train, loyal and have many other great qualities. They love attention and the more they are
included in your family life the greater companion they become. They need to be mentally and physically
challenged. They require grooming if you want to keep the hair long. Brushing, clipping and trimming are all
part of owning a Goldendoodle. For information on hybrid vigor I will simply attach
links to other places that have described it quite well. Here I will be more specific on personality
traits, importance of breeding for temperament and health. I strongly believe that hybrid vigor is only
as good as the breeding stock used from the Purebred dogs. If they have health issues or temperament
issues it can be passed to their offspring.
It is important to realize that a great family pet has to have good
health and good temperament. One without
the other can be a heart break or major frustration. Whenever possible meet the parents and in
the very least meet the mother. If
she is hyper and bouncing around do not believe that she is just happy to see
you. Dogs need to keep their feet on
the ground. THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A PUPPY Personality Traits
– F1, F1B, Standard
Poodle, Golden Retriever Our F1
Goldendoodle Bear is extremely friendly.
He is happy to be with humans and is good when left with the other
dogs. He is smart and loyal. He wants to be with the family as much as
possible. Our F1 Goldendoodle is
extremely affectionate with children and accepts and enjoys the
attention. He is vocal and will talk
to you but he is not yappy. It is
important to train your dog. Our
Goldendoodle is very sweet with a calm disposition. He has energy to play and enjoys running
with his dog family or beside the bicycle.
He does not like to watch from the sidelines. Our F1
Backcross is an extremely affectionate,
quiet, loving, intelligent, eager to please, adaptable dog. She is somewhat more independent than her
dad due to the increased amount of Standard Poodle in her. She too enjoys being included in the family
but will not bark if left out. She has
taken on more of her Standard Poodle mothers’ independence with the
affectionate nature and mannerism of the Goldendoodle. They are calm and extremely easy to
train. Easiest to train with the
intelligence of the Standard Poodle but the desire of the Goldendoodle. She is the most interested in our children
and will happily be cuddled. You can
see her at times climbing onto my husbands lap and actually sitting on him
like one of the children. The Standard Poodle is an extremely intelligent, quite, loving,
independent and loyal dog. They are so
intelligent you think it is a person.
So calm you don’t know they are there.
Loving and independent which makes them a great pet and easy to live
with. They require exercise but less
than an F1 or F1B. Do not tend to be
hyper or yappy. Love the attention but
don’t need it all the time. They are
very good with children. Our F2B
Goldendoodle puppies have proven to be very good pets. I surveyed our puppy owners to see what
they think of their pup. The results
are in this link. I feel that you can read about them best
through the people that live with them.
They were born January 21st 2005 the first litter. Since that litter we have had pups on
September 24th 2005, 2006 litters include March 17th,
April 26th, October 25th and November 8th. They all have incredible temperament and
are totally tolerant of everything.
Great with children and other animals.
Non shedding.
The temperament of
the breeding pair does matter. You
need to know that the dogs that were bred have excellent temperament, are socialized
and have minimal or no fears. As with
humans we have the nature vs. nurture issue.
Don’t accept a puppy whose parents have never been socialized with
humans other than for feedings or kennel cleaning. Find out if the parents are good with strangers. Do they get over excited, scared or just
happy to meet new people? If the
mother is hyper or yappy that is what the puppies get used to while in the
womb. Depending on the answer you can
guess what your puppy will be similar to.
What has the puppy been exposed to during it’s first 8 weeks of life. HEALTH TESTING As breeders we try
and breed only the healthiest dogs available to us. We have genetic tested
our breeding dogs for various diseases.
Some of the testing is for von Willebrand’s
Disease - DNA (vWD), CERF eye test as well
as OVC
tested for hips and elbows dysplasia, Congenital
Cardiac Diseases, Thyroid and SA.
Dharma has OFA
numbers for all the tests. Our dogs
have all vaccines up to date and are extremely healthy, fit animals. Go to the health
results page to see who has been tested for what. Go to health
testing page to view updated test results.
Our adult dogs are
socialized with people and other dogs.
They do not fight with other dogs despite Photos of Puppies
being socialized How do you know if
your dog sheds? If you are wearing black
or white pants and there is a lot of fur left behind, then your dog
sheds. Light-shedding dogs will leave
some hairs, especially after brushing or bathing. Non-shedding dogs do not leave hair behind
when they are dry. When your non-shedding dog is bathed you may have clumps
of hair in the tub. To determine how
much your goldendoodle sheds, put on those same black or white pants, play
with your dood then look at your pants. A few hairs – non-shedding, several hairs-
light shedder, covered with hair - shedding.
Also when you brush your dog’s hair the brush may get full of
hair. This is normal and does not mean
you have a shedding dog. You are
removing the loose hair that would fall out naturally like human hair. The
dog brush could be full even if the dood does not
shed, but will definitely be full if it does shed. Our dogs and our pups have not shed at any point of their lives. We don’t have the shedding of a puppy coat. When the coat is changing you feel it get much thicker, a little coarser and it tends to mat near the back end, behind ears and belly. Our Goldendoodle F1, Standard Poodle and Goldendoodle F1 Backcross are non-shedding and never had a change in amount of hair left behind, even when puppy hair was changing to adult coat. |
that
Bear is unaltered.Goldendoodles require
brushing and clipping. Their hair grows
like human hair. It does not stop
growing at a defined length like a Golden Retriever. If you intend on keeping the coat long,
daily/weekly brushing will be required.
A good pin brush and a de-matting rake are excellent tools. The soft slicker brush can be used but it is
not as gentle as the pin brush. If you
hold the hair in one hand and brush the hair down out of your hand with the
brush, it does not pull the hair. You
should keep the hair out of the dog’s eyes.
This can cause excessive tearing.
Always check the eyes to see if they are red, if so remove the source of
irritation. Trim hair around the
eyes. Nails should be clipped
regularly. Just a tiny bit off the end
keeps them at a healthy length. Do not
bathe your dog often. This will cause
skin dryness, especially in the winter.
If you are going to clip your dog yourself, a great clipper is the Oster Golden A5 clipper.
The higher the number of the blade the closer the clip will be, # 10 is
a very close shave. #4 or #7 is a good
length for a summer clip.
