Testing
The 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-labradoodle.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. Both Maggie and Audie have passed the following tests:
- Heart
- CERF (eyes)
- penHIP
- OFA elbows
"Autumn" Autumn's official Golden Retriever AKC name is Seasons Golden Ashlyn. Autumn is proof that dogs can smile! She is always wagging her tale with a big grin on her face. Autumn has a wonderful red coat which feels like a child's velvety plush stuffed animal. Autumn is our most athletic dog she loves to play catch. (For those who are looking for a bit smaller dog Autumn is a good bet!)
"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, even though she is the youngest, she catches on the quickest. ( It must be that poodle intelligence shining through!) Metta will be ready to enter our breeding program in late 2007 if she passes all her tests!
"Lily" Lily is our newest member of our family. We chose her not only because she was fully tested, but also because she was nice and small (57 pounds) 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).
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.
Temperament
Let'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!
Size
We 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 40-60 pounder rather than a 75-90 pounder. We have made a huge effort to keep our breeding stock on the smaller side with the exception of Maggie. She is 60 pounds so some of her pups can get a bit bigger.
