Kennel Owners Best Tips For Including Goldendoodle Puppies As Part Of Your Family

By Lela Perkins


With the cuddliness of a teddy bear, the goofiness of a puppet and the energy of a racehorse, goldendoodle puppies are much loved by their owners. Kennel owners take great care to raise these adorable and intelligent dogs. Their expert tips will help you choose and adopt just the right one.

A combination of Poodle and Golden Retriever, the breed is said to have the very best attribute of each kind of dog. An expert kennel owner will tell you that this is called hybrid vigor. Because both parental lines demonstrate an ease in water, hunting skills, and the enjoyment in retrieving, these puppies have the same abilities to a high degree. Families who want to own one must expect to spend plenty of time exercising and playing with their puppy.

The golden in their name refers to the pretty shades of brown, tan, cream and blond fur. Some may even be black or dark brown. The coloring is determined by the genetics of each parent. The common gold color is a favorite, and many also like the curly or shaggy fur that often results.

Top kennels will often have very strict policies about meeting new puppies and taking them home. Most are very concerned about keeping infection and illness away from their kennel. To do this requires potential owners to follow guidelines about appointments and picking up their new puppy. For families that live far away, it is possible to have a puppy shipped to its new home via the airlines.

Expect that the breeders will have new owners wait until the goldendoodles are older than eight weeks. This is the time when the puppies get their first set of vaccinations, have been thoroughly checked by veterinarians, and are ready to be leaving their mothers. They are sociable animals and enjoy the company of their litter, so becoming part of a new home will be best done when they are more mature.

There are some who suffer from allergies and wish to own a non-shedding goldendoodle. Some are virtually shed free, while others shed only slightly. Scheduling a visit to a house that has an adult doodle is one of the best ways to see if a family member's allergies can tolerate one.

Luckily, these extremely intelligent dogs are very capable of adapting to new surroundings. Breeders will recommend that you prepare for their arrival to your home by stocking up on the same dog food brand the puppy ate in the kennel. Purchase well made stainless steel water and food bowls. You should also buy new, proper length leash and collar. Ask the kennel owner for the right size and length. You will need a strong carrying crate for transporting the dog. Buy one that is sized for the breed. Create a sleeping space just for the puppy with a nice bed or fluffy blankets for cuddling.

Families with children are wonderful places for affectionate goldendoodle puppies. Their happy nature makes them a perfect fit in a busy and healthy home. They are certain to add lots of fun to the daily routine of even the most active family members.
