Frequently Asked Questions
What makes labradoodles & golden doodles so great?
Our favorite question. :) Our male dog is Leviticus and he is a standard size poodle. Many people love poodles because they are great for people with allergies and very minimal shedding! Here is how our poodle combines well with our two girls, a Labrador & and golden retriever!
Labradoodles: Labradors are energetic and trainable dogs. Many people choose labs to be their family pet and also train them for therapy dogs or hunting dogs. When you take our lovely female Labrador, Genesis, and cross her with masculine male poodle, Leviticus, you get a loyal, trainable, low shedding dream baby!
Goldendoodles: Golden retrievers are very loyal, easy going, and beautiful dogs. There is a reason that Golden Retrievers are one of the most popular dog breeds in America. When our golden retriever, Exodus, is combined with our poodle, Leviticus, you get all the qualities Americans have come to love in a dog without the shedding!
Why should I buy a puppy from a breeder rather than a shelter?
In short, you get what you pay for. We specifically picked out AKC registered males and female dogs to be our parents puppies that were from genetic lines that did not have hip dysplasia. You may definitely buy a less expensive puppy from a shelter but you have no idea what genetic line it came from and may run into more expensive surgeries and hard decisions down the road. We provide each puppy parent with their parents AKC genetic genealogy as proof that we've done the research you paid for in choosing us.
How big do doodles grow when they are full grown?
There are no guarantees in life, but our doodles will more than likely grow to be between 55-75 pounds or more and stand at a height of 20-26 inches. Goldendoodles will be closer to the smaller numbers and our labradoodles will be on the larger end of those numbers. Nitty Gritty Details: Our female labrador is 24", female golden retriever is 20" and male poodle is 24". Perfect size to with withstand toddler children who aren't so gentle all the time, sturdy enough to be outdoors as farm and hunting dog, and yet small enough that it's not a great Dane eating you out of house and home.
What vaccinations will my puppy have received before I pick them up?
Your puppy's safety is our number one goal! Before pickup your puppy will have been dewormed and received shots to prevent cough and other diseases.
Do you offer a multiple puppy discount?
Yes! We like to purchase our own puppies in pairs because we know how beneficial it is for a new puppy to have a companion and play mate. If you purchase two puppies at the same time you will receive a discount and two happy puppies. Message us if this is something you are considering and we will let you know if that's an option with out puppy availability for that litter.
