WHAT PEOPLE HAVE TOLD US ABOUT THEIR MINIATURE GOLDENDOODLES.

We have lots of clients over the years who come to us for a calm midsized dog- after having made the decision to buy a miniature GOLDEN doodle and having to re-home it or regret the decision because of the unpredictable size AND they figured out that when mixing a big dog and a little dog the dog was has issues deciding if it was a BIG dog or a SMALL dog personality creating a hard to trust and train dog. We’ve heard some people say that their MINIATURE GOLDENDOODLE was HUGE and had a split personality - like a dual personality because of the two opposite personalities of the parents.

Most of the complaints came from people with an F 1 GOLDEN doodle - where one parent is a full miniature or  smaller poodle.  I appears that these issues are not the case for every miniature GOLDENDOODLE, and it seems that f 1 b is not as likely to have these issues.


Hearing this feedback we have decided not to take these risks -

We don't use miniature poodles as parents in our GOLDENDOODLE  program.


Our conclusion is that

If someone wants a smaller dog, they should

look for a small breed or a mix of two similar sized breeds.


A great alternative to a miniature goldendoodle is a

Cocker Spaniel

SHORT LEGS -

LONG BARREL MUSCULAR BODY

  • The merry and frolicsome Cocker Spaniel, with his big, dreamy eyes and impish personality, is one of the world's best-loved breeds. They were developed as hunting dogs, but Cockers gained their wide popularity as all-around companions. Those big, dark eyes; that sweet expression; those long, lush ears that practically demand to be touched'; no wonder the Cocker spent years as America's most popular breed. The Cocker is the smallest sporting spaniel, standing about 14 to 15 inches. The coat comes in enough colors and patterns to please any taste. The well-balanced body is sturdy and solid, and these quick, durable gundogs move with a smooth, easy gait. Cockers are eager playmates for kids and are easily trained as companions and athletes. They are big enough to be sporty, but compact enough to be portable. A Cocker in full coat rewards extra grooming time by being the prettiest dog on the block. These energetic sporting dogs love playtime and brisk walks.
