The Goldendoodle

We stumbled upon the Goldendoodle one day when we were online searching for,(what else?), a dog. According to www.goldendoodles.com the Goldendoodle is a hybrid cross between an AKC standard poodle and an AKC Golden Retriever. The result is a very intelligent, loving, adorable dog that doesn't shed. They are very large, but gentle giants. So now that we had found the right breed, we had to find the right breeder. Because these dogs are in such high demand, there are a lot of breeders, some that are respectable and others that aren't. We came upon www.goldendoodle-labradoodle.org/, which contains a list of premium goldendoodle breeders. After going down the list, we decided to go with Dyanne Ricker from Hey dood Goldendoodles in Montana. She is by far the most knowledgeable and helpful breeder we have ever been in contact with. After emailing her and asking for some references she put me in contact with a lot her clients. Everyone who replied had nothing but wonderful things to say. ( I would like to give a special thanks to Steve and Winnie, Larry and Zack, and Ron and Kai. Your correspondence has been so helpful.) On January 1st sire Simba and dam Madison gave birth to 8 healthy, chubby puppies. We will be purchasing one of the two males. There pictures are on this page. The puppies are four days old.
