How big are OUR DOODLE Dogs?





The Size of our goldendoodle and labradoodle pups full grown 

approximately 40-55 RANGE (50 LBS ON AVERAGE) 



(Heights and weights vary as this is a hybrid. 

So we can't guarantee size or height.)



• The Back of the dog comes up to your knee.

• Both are 'gun dogs' who retrieve the duck from the swamp for you.



• They are are companion minded dogs who want to please you.



• They aren't prey driven. Their purpose is to sit by your side and wait for instructions.



Most people don't realize standard poodles were bred for the SAME PURPOSE as retrievers.



• That makes a great combination for a great predictable personality in the dogs we breed. Both parents are similar size so we have a pretty good idea what size they will be.



LAKEWOOD DOODLES - 

Usually the back of the dog comes up to your knee, around 40-60 lbs.



• We cannot promise or guarantee size. Or coat. This is a hybrid. Not a breed.



Occasionally - a larger dog may be produced. And coat is our best guess. Not a guarantee.

When researching this hybrid you discover that there are factors that can 


on occasion create a straighter coat or varying sizes. 

.





These dogs come in 3 sizes.





MINIATURE. Could be any weight as they are unpredictable size



**

MID SIZE : back of the dog comes up to your knee - average 40-55 lbs- this is the size of Lakewood doodles

**



STANDARD: 75-110 lbs majestic; but can suffer from hip issues.

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 (1/4 miniature) 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 or LABRADOODLE program. 
 


OUR COCKAPOO PROGRAM

We breed 25-30 lb moyen poodles with American cocker spaniels.

They are family friendly, affectionate and were North Americas favourite breed for many years. They are well known for being great companions. They were originally raised as bird dogs. They can easily trained and are a nice smaller medium size. Their should height is 14 to 17".

We are very happy to have people visit us and learn more about us, our dogs and our Ranch. We are located in Lindsay Ontario. (North of Toronto).



As part of your purchase comes the education package that consists of the education video - AND a client reading area on the website that we send a link for when your deposit is sent in.

. Our approach is to breed smaller framed animals - medium size - to reduce stress on hips and joints. We breed a hybrid to increase the likely-hood of a healthier dog with a better immune system than purebred breeds. With years of inline breeding, purebred breeds suffer from reduced immune systems and chronic breed specific health issues. With the introduction of stock from new lines from Europe and other areas in the world, we strengthen the immune system with diversity, and we DO NOT breed ANY related animals. 

We work with you to educate and help understand how to train. A puppy is a clean slate. So no past issues.

We send you an education package and we have a meeting with you when the puppy is 6 weeks to go through everything you need to know
