What is the difference in a Goldendoodle and an English Goldendoodle?
A Goldendoodle is the cross between and American Golden Retriever the typical red retriever most people think of when they hear Golden Retriever and a Poodle. An English Goldendoodle is the cross between an English Golden Retriever and a Poodle.
Why an English Cream Golden Retriever?
We did a lot of research on Goldens and found these beautiful dogs. Although not all are cream the majority are and we decided to go with a light cream because to me those are the most beautiful. English Goldens have a blockier build to them and have a 23% less chance of getting cancer than the American Golden. On average they have a longer lifespan of a year and seven months. English Goldens also have a more calm temperament and are less likely to be hyper all the time.
Body Description: An English Goldendoodles body is heavier than that of a Standard Poodle. Their coat can be anywhere from 4 to 7 inches long. They have more of a teddy bear face and can range anywhere from 50-100lbs.
Sizes:
- Standard-averages 20 to 24 inches in height and weighs 50 to 100 pounds.
- Medium-averages 17 to 20 inches; the weight is 40 to 50 pounds.
- Miniature-averages 13 to 20 inches in height and 15 to 35 pounds in weight.
**Note: We only breed Large Medium/Standard sized**
Living Conditions and Exercise: Goldendoodles require a moderate amount of exercise and their coats are generally low maintenance. They can live in the city or on a farm. Apartment living will work they will just need more exercise than those with a yard. They are social dogs and they are happiest when they are with people.
Life Expectancy: The average lifespan is 15 years
Grooming: Goldendoodles need brushing about every other day. I suggest during the coat change from puppy hair to adult hair which will happen somewhere between 6 months to a year that they be brushed every day to avoid matting. They need to be groomed every 6-8 weeks depending on how much coat maintenance you want to do. A traditional doodle cut is the 6-8 week schedule you can wait longer or go more often again depending on your preference of style and coat length.
What Generation do we breed?
We only breed F1b, F1bb, or Multigenerational English Goldendoodles
First Generation Backcross Goldendoodles – F1b: A backcross pup is the result of a F1(English Golden/ Poodle cross) bred back to one of its breeds of origin. From a genetic standpoint, a backcross pup is a first generation cross. As breeders are breeding towards non-shedding and allergy friendliness, a backcross Goldendoodle is generally the product of an English Goldendoodle bred to a Poodle. The resulting dog is, on average, 1/4 Golden Retriever and 3/4 Poodle.
