Aside from their cute appearance, we ensure that all of our parent dogs go through structural, health, and temperament analysis. We then pair our dogs to achieve the best outcomes in all of these areas.
Our doodles adhere to the highest levels of health testing as outlined by the Goldendoodle Association of North America (GANA). You can take a look at the standard here
We also study our parent dogs’ lineage and have their DNA analyzed to ensure that all of our breeding pairs result in low Coefficient of Inbreeding (COI) percentages (below 5 percent). We value high genetic diversity in our pairings, as we understand that genetic diversity has a correlation to healthier outcomes. Measuring COI is important while breeding multigenerational lines.
We primarily breed multigenerational Goldendoodles so that we can achieve a good balance of Golden Retriever to Poodle while selecting for certain traits like looser wavy coats, and the genes correlated to no/low shedding. Breeding multigenerational lines also allows us to work towards standardizing the traits we like in temperament, coat, and structure.
The majority of our litters produce apricot, cream, as well as red and white puppies but on occasion, we have black and white as well as chocolate puppies. Markings include tuxedos, abstracts, or parties. We do breed these patterns and colors in all sizes – standard, medium, and Goldendoodle minis. You can see examples of different coat types, colors, and patterns here.
All of our parent dogs undergo DNA testing through Embark to verify their breed and screen for breed-related health issues. They also have X-rays for hips, elbows, patellas, hearts, and eyes, submitted to OFA or Penn Hip for review. Only dogs passing these health tests are included in our breeding program. Additionally, all health tests and litters are registered with GANA for third-party accountability.
