English Goldendoodle or Teddy Bear Doodle

I wanted to talk a little about our upcoming litters.

As we showed you,  Leighla will be having Cream English Goldendoodles. 
When I was first asked about whether our puppies were from English or American Golden Retrievers,  I thought that the person I was talking too was crazy.......
....THEN I googled it and couldn't stop reading and WANTING!!

An English “Teddy Bear” GoldenDoodle is a hybrid breed between a Poodle and an English Creme Golden Retriever. The Goldendoodle is an affectionate and gentle dog that has gained popularity since he was first developed in 1990s. ... EnglishGoldendoodles are typically very easy to train and make great companions.

This comparison article is the best that I can find that is not,  I hope,  proprietary content and ok to share on our website.  It really goes into great depth about the two, very similar but different dogs.

The #1  piece of information that I kept on going back to was the fact that every article that I read kept saying that they were such great animals around kids.  Most of the families who buy puppies from us have kids......kids, jobs, friends, families, stress, schedules  and now a puppy.  We want everyone to be happy with the new addition and this breeding combination seems to be the very top for that success.
 
The #2 piece of information or fact that kept on bringing me back to wanting to know more about the English Retriever was simply their looks.  Lets face it folks--Looks really go a long way! Your kid is 100 X more likely to take a dog outside to play on a hot day that's cute and playful rather than stern and grumpy. 

So I started looking.  I sent messages to a few breeders and quickly learned that that was not going to make me any friends or get me any puppies!   Then, it occured to me to contact English Doodle breeders,  people who were already mixing the breeds.  That's when I stumbled upon Kimberlee from Kimberlee's Kennels in Decorah Iowa.  I explained who I was,  what I was looking for and a little about our farm.  Altough she does not publically breed other dogs,  she agreed to breed Leighla and 2 days later I was on my way to Iowa in a snow and ice storm!!! 
Dont get me started on the how's and why's of how new people show up in our lives!!  Im just going to say,  again,  I am grateful for the chance to raise a litter of these puppies, to meet them and to find some deserving, loving and respectful homes for them!!

The second topic that we discuss a lot while talking to families about our puppies is their coat.  Will it shed?  Is it hypoallergenic? Will it be curly?
Maybe   Maybe   Maybe  ------------   Joking,  but not really. 
One has to really embrace the famous saying of my sweet daughter at the wise age of
two which was........................................
"you get what you get and you dont have a fit"  
most impactful if said in a high pitched little girl voice!
The F1 Goldendoodle will be most likely to have a wavy to curly coat, be light to little shedding and will have less dander therefor be more tolerant to those with allergies or asthma.  

The third topic that comes up is color.   I think that these puppies with all be a light cream color.  Leighla has some cafe au lait coloring on her head, back and tale but her genetics point to her offspring being a solid color.  We may get a marking or two,  but it's doubtful.............we'll know soon enough!!!

I hope this information is helpful in deciding whether or not an English Goldendoodle is in your family's future

Peace out!
