TestingThe goldendoodle is a fairly new breed, and we strive to have integrity in our breeding practices to promote top quality. We belong to the Premium Breeder's List. Only breeders with the highest standards regarding testing are allowed to join. To read about this organization log on to www.goldendoodle-goldendoodle.org. Proper testing takes effort and money. Just recently, we spent money on extensive testing and found that a dog did not reach acceptable standards therefore we held that dog back from our breeding program. There are doodles in the newspaper for bottom bargain prices; unfortunately typically these dogs are not tested or screened. All our breeding dogs are tested according to the high standards set by The Premium Breeder's List, which Annie's Doodles is a member of. Our Girls:"Maggie" Hey Dude Roll the Dice is her AKC name, but we think Maggie fits her gentle ,sweet personality a little better. Maggie is a Golden Retriever with a beautiful light gold color coat and deep brown eyes. Maggie is very snuggly and would love to be a lap dog if she was a bit smaller. She is 65 pounds and 24 inches at her shoulders. "Metta" Dashar's Spring Meadow is our wonderful F1 Golden Doodle who we have raised since she was a pup. We always say Metta is miss smarty pants. (It must be that poodle intelligence shining through!) Metta weighs in at 56 pounds and 22 inches at her shoulders. "Lily" Lily is a wonderful golden retriever with a stockier build. Her puppies turn out to be fluffy pups that look like little bears when they are young. We chose her not only because she was fully tested, but also because she was nice and small (57 pounds and 21 inches at shoulders) and had a wonderful temperament. She fits in just right with the pace around our farm, layed back, and friendly. Lily has a beautiful light colored coat. Although with all our Mama dogs we get three colors in each litter. (blonde,apricot and red). "Bella" Queen Bella is a medium sized young lady. Bella is a 39 pound - Medium F1 Goldendoodle. She has a wonderful coat. She is very gentle spirited and wants to please. Bella when matched up with Alex will make a perfect size F1B Gooldendoodle. Alex is around 45-48 pounds. Goldendoodles under 45 are considered "medium". With this combo we look forward to some medium Goldendoodles which are sometimes difficult to come by. Many people contact Annie's Doodles looking for a medium size Goldendoodle so we are very excited to have Bella! "Katie" Katie's official name is Copperfield's Causing a Commotion. She came from the grand state of North Carolina. People always ask why we get our dogs from so far away. Our answer is . We are really picky and very serious about getting breeding dogs that are of the highest quality and who pass their tests! We are so delighted to have her as a new addition. She has a very nice boxy head that translates into puppies with very cute faces! She is truly a sweetheart very gentle and responsive. Another desirable quality is she is quite small weighing in at 48 pounds and 18 inches at the shoulder. "Breeze" Breeze is Copperfield's Easy to Envy. She is an envy at that. a beautiful young lady that came with Katie to our farm. These two are wonderful additions. They both fit in great and have joined in with the other dogs and our kids on a daily basis exploring the great outdoors. I love looking out my kitchen window and seeing a kid here a dog there all just romping around! Breeze has a wonderful spirit about her. She has very cute long ears which translates into very cute Goldendoodle ears with an innocent face. She, like Katie, is nice and small. She weighs in at 42 pounds and is 20 inches at the shoulder. "Autumn" Autumn is a wonderful girl who has given us many beautiful Goldendoodle puppies. She is spayed now and has full freedom to roam our 22 acre farm. She loves to hunt in the field for hours and at night comes into to cuddle up inside! The Boys:For our standard Goldendoodles Alex, our resident stud dog, steps up to the plate. For our minis we use fully tested smaller poodle studs from reputable breeders. Here is a little about Alex. Alex is a cream standard poodle. We are so pleased to have a papa dog on our farm. He is a gentleman. He has a sweet, easy-going temperament. He is the perfect size for our breeding program. He weighs in on the smaller size for a standard poodle at 45 pounds with perfect proportions. He is just what we were looking for! When mixed with our mama dogs the result is a mid- sized Goldendoodle. Alex's AKC registered name is Alexander From Tyco Ranch. He is in excellent health, and passed all his tests with flying colors. Outside breeding accepted to the above stud by approval. Please call for more information about Annie's Doodles policy regarding stud service. TemperamentLet's face it temperament is crucial! We are so pleased with all of our dogs. Because we are a family business and not a kennel we are very picky about personality. We only want breeding dogs on our farm who are friendly towards our kids and the other dogs. What this means for you is that you get a pup that is not only raised in a great environment, but with outstanding temperaments! SizeWe find that most people prefer their Doodle not to tip the scale too much! Even people looking for a standard size would rather have a 45-70 pounder rather than a 75-90 pounder. We have made a huge effort to keep our breeding stock on the smaller side. All this said, we can not guarantee what size your pup will turn out to be. Basically, we take the mama and papa's weights and make an educated guess. From our experience the majority of the time that works for calculating size, but sometimes we have been a bit surprised to see our pups a year down the road bigger or smaller then both their parents ... in the end Mother Nature sometimes has her way in the the size department! |
