![]() ![]() ![]() Sorry not trying to sound defensive here.I'm not trying to start a debate over adopting, rescuing, buying.just looking for some info on this specific "breed". I completely understand that mix breeds are not actual breeds. Sorry if breeder offended you.she mates dogs so I call her a breeder. Most of the dogs from this specific breeder are 2 goldendoodles being bred together although they do have the traditional golden/poodle mix. Although it is a nice bonus not to have hair all over the place. ![]() Luckily I don't have allergies so shedding and dog hair (which is what poodles have) is not an issue for me. And to be honest, I'm not interested a lot of them because I do really love the poodle personality. Unfortunately I live in an apartment that has many breed restrictions and most of the dogs at these rescues are those dogs. I totally understand that and I have also been searcing many florida poodle rescues and local humane societies trying to find the dog that will fit my lifestyle, wants, etc. I'm getting the overall sense that you are not a fan of buying from a breeder. I know 3 people that adopted a "goldendoodle" that way. People get them thinking they will be good for allergies and not shed and BAM! puppy grows up and sheds like a Golden Retriever and they dump it at a rescue. "Goldendoodles", or golden retriever/poodle mixes, are very common. Good breeders don't want "their" puppies to end up euthanized if the owner can't care for them anymoreĤ - Check the local rescues through Petfinder. A decent breeder will also require you to fix your puppy, as to not add to the pet population, and make you sign a contract stating you'll return the puppy to them if you can't care for it anymore. Make sure they didn't just mate the two purebreds they have but that they were selective in ensuring they aren't passing on painful genetic issues to puppies. Health screening, genetic testing, temperment testing, etc. There are no breed traits to go off of.Ģ - there is no such thing as a reputable breeder for mixed breed dogsģ - if you are deadset on buying one, do a lot of research on the parents. 1 - it's not a breed (if you mate two together, you don't get a Goldendoodle - until you can, it's not a breed) so your dog may be 100% diff than someone else's. ![]()
