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!! It is impossible to know for sure that the doodle You get will be allergy friendly or no shed 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, No matter what!!
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 =This is Parent Breed bred 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 =This is F1 Bred back to Poodle ,Wavy Curly shaggy Very Poodley type coats
I have found the First Gen Aussiedoodles & 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 or Aussiedoodles at this time,,This mix does produce too much coat for most people to handle, closely resembling a poodle coat!!)

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
