Q>Are ALL Doodles ALLERGY friendly and Non shedding ??
A>No!!,, Doodles are Hybrids, there is no way any breeder can guarantee you a non shedding /hypoallergenic dog,,Not even a multi generation breeder!! it doesn't matter what generation it is!! Although most F1B Labradoodles are the most likely to be non shedding and allergy friendly or ANY doodle, it is impossible to know for sure until they get there adult coat in between 8-12mths old, If you have allergy issues we will need to address the "what if" question, BEFORE Reserving ,,, I want all my pups to go to lifelong homes!! F1B (First generation Labrador bred back to Poodle is VERY likely to be allergy friendly , We have limited availability and reservations are RECOMMENDED!!!
F1 Labradoodles hair coat can be smooth(like a lab) wiry (like a Irish wolfhound,see above left)
or wavy (like henry,above),F1B or F2/F3 are most likely to not shed and be allergy friendly,and very consistent in the look,Goldendoodles are more borderline to wavy and a bit more consistent in there look.
IN ADDITION,,VISITING US OR OTHER BREEDERS HOMES WILL NOT GURANTEE YOU ARENT ALLERGIC TO THE PUPS,,THEY HAVE OTHER BREEDS OF DOGS THAT COULD AGGRAVATE YOUR ALLERGYS,ALSO PUP COULD HAVE OTHER DOGS DANDER TRANSFERED TO THEM,,YOU WONT TRULY KNOW UNTIL YOU GET YOUR PUP HOME AND SETTLED,ALL PUPS ARE DIFFERENT
Q>Are doodles good with children?
A> Absolutely, they are wonderful little clowns and will just break there heart to please you!! They are being utilized as service and therapy dogs due to there even temperament and there willingness to please,,I do Have some concerns about placing puppies with families with children under 5yrs old,,,This is due to safety for the puppy and for the children! Puppies can play rough biting scratching,jumping,this is normal puppy play,and it can be quite the challenge,If you do have younger children please tell me how your family would handle the challenges. I want all my babies to go to lifetime homes and I want to feel comfortable that you will be able to train your puppy properly to be a lifetime member of Your Family!!

F1 Labradoodles=This is Lab to poodle cross, this is first generation!! ! Hair type can be smooth like a lab,wirey look like a Irish wolfhound or Wavy/shaggy, they can shed or no,,I do not recommend this cross for people with severe allergies.
F1B Labradoodles=This is Labradoodle Bred back to Poodle ,Wavy Curly shaggy look doodle very consistent in coat types F1B is the MOST likely of any to be non shedding and Allergy friendly then ANY doodles and is the easiest coat to take care of
F1 Goldendoodle's=This is Golden Ret, bred to Poodle,,I have found the Goldendoodle's are also very consistent in the coat and more likely to be non shedding and allergy friendly,,this produces a wavy curly shaggy look puppy,Normally are Very Low to No shed ,and typically allergy friendly. (We do NOT breed F!B Goldendoodles,This mix does produce too much coat for most people to handle, closely resembling a poodle coat!!)
Our Multi Generation Labradoodles =F1B Labradoodle to F1/F1B Labradoodle, This cross should keep the hybrid vigor and obtain a more consistency in coat type ,,also we don't infuse other breeds of dogs such as spaniel and terriers in the mix as other breeders are doing,,this only introduces more health issues in the mix and contributes to unhealthy dogs.

If you can fly here so your baby wont have to fly alone, your pup can fly in the cabin of the airplane in a large Sherpa bag (soft sided carrier) flying into Washington Dulles airport is the easiest for you to get in and out of, this is the preferred method for our puppies It's only around $50-$80.00 depending on the Airline for the pup to fly in the cabin with You.They puppy has to be under 20 pounds and under 11" in my experience they will fit in carrier at 8weeks old)

If older we can try to help find a new home, at times I can bring back here,however I am very limited in space so that may not be a option,,If you find a home for your baby then I would like approval of the new home,and info on the new family,.This is stated in my contract ,which you sign on pickup, In order for you not to be Legally and Financially responsible for additional fees pup must be spayed or Neutered BEFORE rehoming if not returned to breeder,there are NO exceptions!!!! Please be Double sure you are ready for a lifetime commitment to your new Puppy.

A> Generally 12-14yrs old
PLEASE be aware of the time frame and commitment ,having a dog is as much a commitment as having a child!!!!
Q>Do I have to alter my dog??
A> YES!!! we have a very STRICT alter policy ,dogs must be surgically altered by a license vet between 5- 6mths of age we do not early spay , this can cause incontinence problems and bone cancer ,we refuse to take a chance with our puppy's health!!! Why???
Q>Can My Dog Be Registered?? No,these are Hybrids and we do not support any doodle registry,because some are working very hard to get these dogs recognized by AKC ,,We are very much against this because this will create the same problems that all full blooded registered dogs have ,,which was the MAIN reason the doodles were bred in the first place!!! Think about it!!! We can give you a pedigree on the parents after your doodle is altered if you wish
