What is an English Goldendoodles?

It is a cross between an English Golden Retriever and a Poodle. They are very intelligent, playful, fun, and loving, but with a more "Boxy" head and heavier boned than the American Goldendoodles. It gives them that adorable "Teddy Bear" look. The English Golden Retriever is said to be healthier and has a lower cancer rate than the American Golden Retriever.

An Australian Goldendoodles ( not to be confused with an Aussiedoodle) is a cross between an Australian Labradoodle and an English Goldendoodle.

How big will they get?

Puppies should mature somewhere between the mother's and father’s size. That being said, I have seen some dogs mature smaller and larger than either parent. We can give you an idea of the size they will mature at, but we cannot guarantee it.

How much will they shed?

F1b English Goldendoodles (F1 English Goldendoodle X Poodle) coats will be a very low shed to no shed.

Are Goldendoodles Hypoallergenic?

F1 Goldendoodles are good for families with mild to moderate allergies. F1b's (Goldendoodle X Poodle) are better for families that have a more moderate - severe allergic reaction to dog dander.

Does my puppy have to be spayed or neutered?

Yes, we require all puppies to be spayed or neutered between 8-12 months of age. If we do not receive confirmation of the spayed/neuter by 13 months, you will have your health guarantee voided and an additional fee will apply.

Are your puppies microchipped?

We microchip all of our puppies before they go home. Microchips will be transferred into the new owner's name once proof of spay/neuter is received.

I'm going on a holiday, can my puppy stay longer?

We have put in a lot of time and many sleepless nights with our puppies, and are in need of a well-deserved break when our puppies are ready to go to their new homes. We prefer all puppies to be picked up on their scheduled take-home day. For those who need a few extra days, there will be a charge of $25 per day to be paid at 7 weeks, along with their final puppy payment. Sorry, no exceptions.
