Frequently Asked Questions
Do Goldendoodles shed?
Most Goldendoodles shed very little or some not at all, which is one of the leading reasons behind why many people choose this breed. While no dog is completely hypoallergenic, many pet parents find that individuals with dog allergies are oftentimes able to go unbothered by this breed. We like to call them “Allergy Friendly”.
How big will my Goldendoodle get?
This hybrid breed is a mix between a Golden Retriever and a Poodle, resulting in four main sizes: Toy, Miniature, Medium, and Standard Goldendoodles. The size of a Goldendoodle is determined by the size of its parent breeds, as well as any gender differences that may come into play. It is impossible to guarantee what size your dog will get because genetics play a big role, however, we try to guess as accurately as possible based on parent size and previous litters.
What colors are common among Goldendoodles?
Just like their namesake, Goldendoodles do come in a golden color. Other common colors include cream, tan, red, brown, gray, and black.
What kind of fur do they have?
Since Doodles receive the curly hair gene from their Poodle parent and the straight hair gene from their Golden Retriever parent, they can have a variety in their coat type. Some coats will appear on the straighter side, others on the curly side, and some appear in the middle as a wavy textured coat.
How do you take care of their fur?
In order to avoid matting, brushing your Goldendoodle 1-2 times per week is a good habit to develop. They will also require regular baths and a trip to the groomers every 4-6 weeks or as needed to trim up their coat.
Will my puppy come with a health guarantee?
All of our puppies come with a one (1) year health guarantee for life threatening health issues. In addition, we use Embark DNA health testing to test our parent dogs for genetic health conditions and these results will be shared with you.
Will my puppy come with any shots?
Yes. All of our puppies will come with their first round of shots and two rounds of deworming. They will need their follow up shots with your veterinarian.
Can you explain the difference between F1, F1B, F2, F2B and Multigen Goldendoodles?
Crossbred dogs and designer dogs are often referred to as F1s, F2s, or F1B. The “F” stands for “filial” and is a dog breed’s generation.
The first number of the “F” stands for the generation, while the second number refers to how many generations back it is from its original purebred ancestor.
The F1 Generation is a:
50% Purebred-Golden Retriever
50% Purebred-Poodle
These dogs are a result of the breeding between two purebred parents.
The F1B Generation is a:
75% Purebred-A
25% Purebred-B
A breeder might use the F1 backcross breeding technique to intensify their desired traits in a new breed.
In simple terms, an F1B (aka. back cross) is a F1 bred with a poodle. They are more poodle than F1 and barely shed.
They are the most suitable choice for high allergy sufferers.
The F2 Generation is a:
F2 dogs are a cross between two F1 hybrids, they are the offsets resulting from the mating of two F1 hybrids.
50% Purebred-A
50% Purebred-B
