What is a doodledawg?

Doodledawgs come in several varieties. We are raising Goldendoodles.

Goldendoodles - cross between purebred Golden Retriever and purebred Standard Poodle

Airedoodles - cross between purebred Airedale Terrier and purebred Standard Poodle

Labradoodles - cross between purebred Labrador Retriever and purebred Standard Poodle

Schnoodles - cross between purebred Schnauzer and purebred Standard Poodle

Whoodles - cross between purebred Wheaten Terrier and purebred Standard Poodle

     The crosses listed above are known as F1 or "first generation" crosses. An F1B is a crossback of an F1 Doodle with a poodle making a 3/4 poodle, 1/4 of the other breed. The purpose in this is to create a dawg less likely to shed. It is unnecessary with the Airedoodles since they are already non-shedders. There are also breeders specializing in smaller size Goldendoodles and Labradoodles, by using miniature poodles in the cross. We have decided to breed only Standard Goldendoodles and Airedoodles because we like the temperament of the Standard Poodle over that of the Miniature or Toy Poodle. We are breeding for a laid-back, gentle family dog.

      An F2 cross is a cross between  an F1 and another F1. With this cross there is a 25% possibility of some offspring being like Poodle grandparent, 25% chance of being like the Retriever grandparent and a 50% chance of being like the Doodle parents. It gets better as it goes down to F3 and F4, with the offspring being more true to the Doodle type being sought. This has been accomplished quite nicely in the Australian multi-generation Labradoodles.  We are starting with the Standard  Goldendoodles and Airedoodles. We will be breeding F1 first generation crosses and later on will breed some F1Bs.

    All varieties of doodledawgs have something in common. They are hybrid dawgs with an outstanding combination of hybrid vigor, good health, intelligence and lovableness. Much thought has gone into the choice of breeds to create these dawgs and many years of happy successes testify to the satisfaction you will have with your own doodledawg.  Doodledawgs are excellent family dawgs, therapy dawgs, hunting dawgs, companion dawgs, just about anything you can think of needing from a dawg. All are loyal and devoted to their families when given some easy training which will be outlined on this website.

     When searching for your perfect doodledawg companion, be careful to check the status of the parents of the puppies. They should have OFA hip certification and veterinary examinations showing them to be healthy and fit parents for your future companion. Many are also concerned with the environment the puppies will be born into since early development depends on exposures to many different stimuli which can't necessarily be provided with caged or kenneled dogs where their entire exposure is to wire and concrete. Our puppy program implements the best known early training methods as well as optimal exposure to a variety of textures, sounds, people and other animals. Please see our "About Us" page.

     We have been carefully selecting several parent dawgs who meet our high standards. We are doing everything possible to assure the highest quality of puppies in temperament, intelligence and good health. We will also offer early puppy training for any who want it, which will assure your puppy of the best possible start in life. Puppy training can begin as early as five weeks and will include basic crate training and leash familiarity. If you wish to leave your puppy for an extra month, we can also include basic sit, stay, down and leash training as well as familiarizing the puppy with the name you choose to call your puppy. Please see our contract page for further details.
