What Makes That Wonderful Puppy A True Standard English Cream Goldendoodle?

By April Briggs


When Goldendoodles first came on the scene, they were a wonderful combination of two breeds, including the Standard Poodle and the Golden Retriever. Breeders and families alike enjoyed the new breed because it turned out to be intelligent, good with children, and they did not shed. These qualities made them very popular. The color was usually light gold, and there were often puppies born with even lighter coats. But responsible breeders will tell you that you must watch for the real deal when searching for a cream colored true English bred dog. Here are some tips to help you.

If you are purchasing your new dog from an American breeder, you must check the pedigree, or blood line of the parents. A true standard English Cream Goldendoodle will have ancestors that were imported from European countries such as the Netherlands or Spain. Some breeders just happen to have that light creamy color when focusing on breeding only Goldendoodles.

Determine if you have the correct size for standard by inspecting its parents. The average standard height in inches is about twenty two. Medium height in inches should be around seventeen. Small heights are usually around fourteen. The typical larger dogs will also weigh more. Be certain you are ready to house and feed quite a large pup.

Look for paperwork that designates your puppy choice with an F number. This may appear as F1 or F1B, or something similar. These numbers and letters show how much poodle and retriever the litter actually is, by percentage. The owner of an excellent kennel will explain this system to you. You should be given certification of the generation and ancestral history of any dog you buy.

Most reliable kennel owners will prepare your new pet for coming home with you. They do this by starting the training process. They work on behavior and potty skills. They also know that this particular breed is intelligent, but also curious and usually stubborn. Socializing each pup before it goes to its new home is crucial for success once it arrives there.

The top kennels will have each litter inspected by a veterinarian the day of birth. At the appropriate time, these professionals will also give vaccinations, administer worming medications and do overall health checks. Too many owners who have purchased their pets from less careful breeders find that their dogs become ill quickly after returning home when this initial care is not provided.

Because puppies have dew claws that must be removed, unscrupulous kennel owners will sometimes use pliers to tear them out. Done without pain killers or antibiotics, the process is very painful and can cause infection. Asking about this particular procedure beforehand is always recommended.

The very best breeders always offer the combination of certification, care and concern for their English Cream puppies. They want theirs to go to good homes after having the right start in life. Before purchasing any dog advertised as the authentic thing, have a discussion that addresses these issues.
