FAQ

What is a standard Goldendoodle and how much do they weigh as adults?
A standard Goldendoodle is a cross between a golden retriever and a standard poodle. They
weigh between 50 and 80 pounds as adults.

What is a F1 Mini Goldendoodle and how much will they weigh as adults?
A F1 Mini Goldendoodle is a cross between a golden retriever and a miniature poodle. They
will weigh between 20 and 45 pounds as adults.

What is the difference between an F1 Goldendoodle and an F1b Goldendoodle?
The F1 Goldendoodle results from breeding a Golden Retriever to a Poodle. The F1b
Goldendoodle results from breeding an F1 Goldendoodle back to a Poodle which makes a more
allergy friendly dog because of the Poodle dominance. If a Miniature Poodle stud is used to breed
we then produce Miniature Goldendoodles (F1 or F1b).

What is a Multigen Designer Goldendoodle?
We have worked hard to get our breeding program to a higher level of good blood lines so now we are taking our own Goldendoodles and crossing Goldendoodles with Goldendoodles, which we have designed, thus we named them Multigen Designer Goldendoodles, which also makes a more
allergy friendly dog because of the doodle mix. We find the temperaments of the Designer Goldendoodles are very sweet and loving .

Do these dogs shed and if so how much?
These dogs are classed as a low to non-shedding dog. If they shed it will be moderate when
comparing it to a golden retriever. They have hair and not fur. The F1b Goldendoodle is definately
better for the non-shedding characteristics.

Are Goldendoodles intelligent and what kind of personality do they have?
Goldendoodles are very intelligent dogs that will learn very quickly and have a wonderful, happy,
loving, and gentle temperament. They are said to get the intelligence from the poodle and the
friendliness from the golden retriever. So in other words you get the best of both breeds.

Do you allow people to see the puppies before they have been vaccinated and
checked over by the veterinarian?
Yes, we do allow potential customers to see the puppies before they have been vaccinated and
checked over by our veterinarian. We will not allow you to handle them before they have been
vaccinated. The reason for this is for the health of our puppies. We want to be able to provide our
customers with a happy, healthy puppy that will be free of sickness and infectious diseases when
they take him/her to its new home.

Will we be able to see both parents when we come to see the puppies?
You will see the mom to the puppies and possibly the dad as well, however our studs are family
co-owned and you may not be able to see him when the puppies are ready to go.

Do you socialize your puppies in the weeks prior to them going to their new homes
and do you recommend training school for your puppies?
We spend an extensive amount of time with our puppies prior to them going to their new owners.
This is a very critical time of their lives and we want to ensure they have been well socialized for
their new homes. We highly recommend that you have your puppy enrolled in training school where
he or she will learn many valuable lessons that will make him the well behaved dog you hoped for.
The puppy will also learn how to interact with other dogs.

What do your puppies all come with?
When you come to purchase your puppy it will be microchipped, de-wormed twice, vet checked, given its first vaccinations, treated with Revolution, and you will get a puppy bag with a blanket, toy, food scoop, poop bags and a sample of TLC treats. You will also get a file folder with the puppies complete Health Record and all the info of what your puppy eats while here at Wagging Heart Kennels to begin a healthy start. We highly recommend you keep your puppy on this for life to maintain and strengthen its immune system, this helps combat free radicals. We want our puppies to have a happy healthy long life. We have bred dogs for over 40 years and have learned much to keep our dogs happy and healthy , thus we pass this info on to you for the same reason. We also offer a two year written guarantee against genetic defects. This covers the hips, elbows, heart and eyes.

Do you require any puppy applications or interviews prior to us buying a puppy from
you?
No we do not require an application or an interview however we are very concerned that our
puppies go to good homes where they will be well taken care of and will see the vet when required.
So don't be surprised if we ask a couple of questions about you.

What should we buy for our new puppy?
You should buy a nice sized crate, a collar and leash, and a bed for him to sleep on and claim as
his spot in the house. You should also purchase a quality whole life, all natural pet food. We feed
and highly recommend "TLC" puppy dog food for the first 8-12 months for tiny and mini doodles, and for the Mediums and Standards they can get switched to the adult dog food earlier depending on their weight and size….at aprox. 6-8 months.

Do you have any good websites I could go to for methods of puppy house training?
I have found an excellent website that has all the help you will ever need in the area of puppy
training. Go to www.perfectpaws.com

Can we contact you about situations we encounter with our puppy after we purchase
it?
Yes, by email is best, feel free to contact us in the years ahead with questions you may have regarding your
puppy and we will try our best to fill you in with answers.
