Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size and color will the puppies be?
A: F1 and F1B Goldendoodles are mid-sized dogs, which means they typically grow to be between 50-75 lbs. English Goldendoodles are smaller typically between 40-65lbs. Males tend to be larger than the females. But if you are looking for a puppy that is larger or smaller than the typical size try going with a puppy from larger or smaller parents. My puppies are cream, butterscotch, and light apricot.

Q: Where are you located?
A: I am located 20 min North East of Colorado Springs
Q: How much are the puppies and how does the deposit work?
A: Our F1B Goldendoodles are $1,500. Our English F1 Goldendoodles, Small-English F1 Goldendoodles, Small-English F1B Goldendoodles are $1,800. The deposit to reserve a puppy is half the sale price ($750 and $900) and made by personal check. 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. 1 week prior I will send you a set time to come on the day of pick-up when the puppies are 8 weeks old in order of first pick to last pick.
Q: I have allergies can I still get a puppy?
A: People with moderate allergies have done well with an F1 Goldendoodle or Small- F1 English Goldendoodle. But for someone with severe allergies I would suggest an F1B Goldendoodle since they are no shed.
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.
Q: Will the puppies have their first shots?
A: The puppies come with a well vet check, first shots, and worming
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 within 2 weeks. 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. It can be any day of the week depending on the day the puppies were born. No puppies can go to their new homes before they are 8 weeks old.
Q: When can I visit the puppies?
A: I post weekly pictures of them on the "Litters" page of this site and on facebook.com/GoldendoodlesOfColorado so that everyone can keep up with their progress. I do not have visitors before the pick-up date when they are 8 weeks old, when their vaccinations are just going into effect. There is a video tour of my facilities under the "Videos" page of this site.
Q: When should I spay or neuter my puppy?
A: My vet suggests to get them spayed or neutered no earlier than 6 months old.
Q: What puppy food should I get?
A: I feed my puppies IAMS proactive health smart puppy food and I suggest you keep them on it 5-6 months. 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 is pictured below in the 2 different bags it comes in.
