Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much are the puppies and how does the process work?
A: The puppies are $1,900 and the deposit to reserve a puppy is half ($950). The remaining half will be due in cash on the day of pick-up when the puppy is 8 weeks old. When putting down a deposit you must decide from which litter and if you want a male or female. The first person to put down a deposit will have first pick and so on. After the puppies are at least 1 week old we will post their first pictures, number of males and females, and the pick-up day. A couple of weeks prior to pick-up day we will schedule your 30min appointment time to come and choose your puppy. We will have a chart with a signed breeder's exam, parents AKC papers, first shot/worming records, rabies prevention form, an info sheet (feeding, vaccines, training etc), and a small blanket with the scent of the litter.
Q: What size will the puppies be?
A: We estimate the size the puppies will be as adults based on the weight of the parents. Typically F1 and F1B Goldendoodles are mid-sized dogs, which means they typically grow to be between 60-75 lbs. Small-English Goldendoodles are shorter and are typically between 55-65lbs. Males tend to be larger than the females.
Q: Should I get a male or female?
A: Males tend to be larger than the females, but other than that there isn't much difference when choosing between the two. All of our dogs are bred have high intelligence, loving temperament, and low to no shed coats.
Q: What is the difference between an F1, F1B, and F1BB Goldendoodle? And What is a Small-English Golden Retriever?
A: An F1, or first generation Goldendoodle, is the puppy of a Golden Retriever and a Standard Poodle and have a low to no shed coat with loose curls/wavy hair being 1/2 Poodle and 1/2 Retriever. A Small-English F1 Goldendoodle is a puppy of one of our Small-English Golden Retrievers and a Standard Poodle and are shorter than standard F1 Goldendoodles. Small-English Retrievers are from European imported bloodlines that are shorter in height and lighter in color that Golden Retrievers and English Golden Retrievers in America.

All puppies from that litter go to their new homes on that date. No puppies can go to their new homes before they are 8 weeks old.
Q: When can I visit the puppies?
A: We post weekly pictures of the puppies on the "Litters" page of this site and on facebook.com/GoldendoodlesOfColorado so that everyone can keep up with their progress. Due to the amount of interest we get we do not have visitors before the pick-up date when they are 8 weeks old and their vaccinations are just going into effect. There is a video tour of my facilities under the "Videos" page of this site.
