Please note: We cannot guarantee size, as genetically this is impossible to predict as they can grow larger than either parent. When selecting a pairing; we will only breed if parents are within 4 inches of each other in height. Bone structure and weight too can vary based on the density of their bones.

Two dogs can be the exact height and length however one could weigh 36 pounds and one could weigh 67 pounds. When asked about weight we always try to give our best guestimate based on the parents and previous generations in our pedigrees and the generations of bone structure. However without completing genetic testing on each and every puppy we are unable to know how much Retriever they have pulled from their pedigree and how much Poodle they have pulled.

In theory an F1 should be 50% Poodle and 50% Retriever and F1B should be 75% Poodle and 25% Retriever. However a puppy can draw the majority of one breed and therefore be far larger or smaller than predicted.

In our early days as a breeder when we too were breeding early generations we also found coat to be as unpredictable as size and puppies were being returned due to allergies.

We are now better able to guestimate size more closely being so far away from the purebreds genetics good and bad. We no longer have the Purebred parents or Grandparents but they are 4 or more generations away.

We are also very happy with the way genetic testing has changed over the years and are now able to test for coat length, curl and furnishings (that teddy bear face so wanted with the big mustache and beard) and are even able to breed more hypo allergenic dogs.

Years ago when we were breeding early generations it was completely impossible to predict size as a Retriever would be bred to a poodle. Some retrievers can be 60 pounds and some can be 120 pounds. Poodles vary in size from teacup size all the way to Standard. While many breeders would breed a Retriever to a tea cup sized poodle to rush the size coming down to a mini, we chose to breed down over a course of many generations. Starting with a Golden Retriever and a Standard Poodle. keeping back a smaller boned pup. We would then breed that smaller boned pup to a Moyenne Poodle, keeping back a smaller boned pup then breeding that pup when old enough to a Miniature Poodle. We are now breeding Multigenerational Goldendoodles and Double Doodles. Although we are now more confident with giving our guestimates in weight we know it is still not possible to be exact but are typically close in our judgements.

Our payment schedule is as follows:

$400.00 to place your name on our up and coming waiting list. This $400.00 is applied as our Consultation Fee for our time in answering e-mails, phone calls, posting pictures etc. This fee is non refundable however is applied to the total cost of the puppy and not an added cost.

Our puppy price is $3200.00 plus HST

Should arrangements for your puppy to stay past puppy pick up weekend a $50 per day (non training rate plus HST) or $75 per day (basic training rate plus HST) charge will apply and the puppy must be paid for in full by puppy pick up weekend. Please see our training page for further details.

Arrangements must be made ahead as we are not always able to keep puppies past the puppy pick up weekend.

Breeder has opportunity from each litter to choose a Guardian puppy for future breeding prior to puppies being shown to families.
