yes, you may transfer your reservation one (1) time to another upcoming litter with availability before forfeiting your reservation fee. 

there are 4 official goldendoodle sizes :

Petite - >14 inches & typically >25lbs
Mini - 14-17 inches & typically 26-35lbs
Medium - 17-21 inches & typically 36-50lbs
Standard - 21+ inches & typically 51+lbs

Height is measured at the withers. Size predictions are an educated guess and puppies may end up smaller or larger than anticipated! Please note that terms such as "micro", "teacup", or "toy" are not terms recognized by GANA. Petite is the proper term for that size goldendoodle. 

Goldendoodles coats are mainly made up of the curl gene and the furnishing gene. Dogs that have 1 or 2 copies of furnishings will have a fluffy "doodle" face regardless of curl.

Goldendoodles that have 2 curl genes and 1 or 2 furnishing genes are considered curly coats.

Goldendoodles that have 1 curl gene and 1 or 2 furnishing genes are considered wavy coats.

Goldendoodles that have 0 curl genes and 1 or 2 furnishing genes are considered straight coats. 

Goldendoodles that have 0, 1, or 2 curl genes, but 0 furnishing genes are considered flat or improper coats and will look like a golden retriever.   

Curly

Wavy

Straight

Flat

Wavy and straight coats are typically the lowest maintenance while being just as low shedding as the curly coats. Wavy and straight coats visually look almost identical. Curly coats typically require more grooming and daily maintenance. Flat or improper coats will shed similar to a golden retriever - we do NOT breed flat coat puppies!

The generation of a goldendoodle does not tell you much in terms of coat or shedding. It is much more important to look at the specific genetics that are being bred for. 

We only breed for multigenerational puppies. This allows us to breed for specific traits and consistency, and predictability in structure, temperament, size, and coats. We are able to selectively breed for genes that control shedding and typically result in less shedding than other generations - All while keeping the perfect teddy bear look.  

Doodles are usually very eager and motivated to learn! Make training easy by doing multiple short 10-15 minute training sessions each day.

We recommend the Baxter and Bella or the My Loyal Hound training programs to keep you on track!

yes! If a dog is not being bred, it is important to be spayed or neutered to prevent unplanned pregnancies! You will need to sign a strict spay/neuter contract and provide proof of s/n at the appropriate age!

If you mean "are they 100% non allergenic" - no, no dog is. All dogs including poodles and doodles can still have proteins in their skin, saliva, and urine that can cause allergic reactions. Hypoallergenic just means LESS likely to cause allergic reactions. Doodles ARE typically less likely to cause allergic reactions! My son is moderately allergic to dogs, but has never had an issue with any of our dogs. This may not be the case for everyone with dog allergies though.

Doodles are also typically low-non shedding!
