Goldendoodles
Goldendoodles
Our goldendoodles are a mix of poodle and English Cream Golden Retrievers. The size can vary as well as the percentage of poodle. If we are trying to produce a more hypoallergenic line, then we breed in a higher percentage of poodle. We use both the English & American Golden Retriever lines. American lines tend to have a more athletic build and structure. The English lines are known for their gentle laid back nature and shorter legs and stocky build.
GOldendoodle Sizes
Goldendoodles come in 4 sizes.
Petite weigh up to 25 pounds.
Mini weigh 25-35 pounds
Medium weigh 35-50 pounds
Standard weigh 50-100 pounds
Here at BOCA DOODLES we ONLY breed PETITE & MINI GOLDENDOODLES at this time.
generations explained
F1: This is the 1st generation. 1 Parent is a poodle and 1 parent is a golden retriever. The dog will be 50% Poodle and 50% Golden Retriever. Can have more of a wavy coat. Little to no shedding.
F2: This is the 2nd generation. Both parents are F1's. This type of breeding is very unpredictable and we typically don't do this breeding. Can have puppies, but not always that are "unfurnished", which means they will not have long beards and eyebrows. Instead they will have short facial hair and can have light to heavy shedding.
F1B: This is a first generation backcross, hence "B" This is when you have 1 F1 parent(50% & 50%) bred BACK to one of the pure bred line, which in our case is ALWAYS a POODLE. So you end up with a puppy that is 25% Retriever and 75% Poodle. This is our most hypoallergenic generation for anyone that suffers from allergies. No shedding.
This can continue on from here, but this is where we stop in our breeding program.
* We do gene testing to predict coat type (wavy or curly) as well as shedding. ALL of our puppies will be little to no shedding.
COAT TYPES
Doodles come in 3 coat types.
Straight, Wavy and Curly. We ONLY breed Wavy and Curly. The curlier the coat the more hypoallergenic the dog will be. That being said, it does require more grooming. Brushing will need to be done regularly.
Colors
Doodles come in a variety of colors. Our gene testing will help us to determine what colors to expect out of each litter. We specialize in shades of reds, phantom, black and merle.
