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.

A: The puppies will have their first shots/worming done at 7 weeks old and their next shots will be due at 10 and 13 weeks old. We will include a shot/worming record in the puppies chart on pick-up day.
Q: How will I know the puppies have been born?
A: An estimated birth date is posted next to each mom on the "Litters" page. Once the puppies are born we will post a photo update on that page when they are at least 1 week old. It will include date of birth, number of males and females, and date of pick-up. That will give you 6-7 weeks notice to work the day of pick-up into your schedule. 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.

Purchase Questions:
Q: What size collar should I buy for my puppy?
A: A size Small (8-14") usually fits our puppies when they are 8 weeks old.
Q: What puppy food should I get?
A: We feed our puppies IAMS proactive health smart puppy food and I suggest you keep them on it for at least 6 months. In the beginning we recommend putting some water on the dry food, as well as a spoonful of canned pedigree dog food. When you change them to the adult food of your choice do it slowly by mixing the IAMS food in with the one you want to change to and gradually wean them off it. The puppy food and canned food are pictured below.
