Some reasons a Goldendoodle would be a great fit for your family:
1) They’re wonderful family dogs with an innate disposition to please you.
2) They’re often well tolerated for those who suffer with allergies.
3) They’re highly trainable and good natured.
4) They’re expected to have overall good health and live a long life.

Some reasons you may not want a Goldendoodle:
1) They mature slower than some other dog breed thus making them more excitable for longer than you may prefer.
2) There is no definite guarantee that some allergy sufferers will not have an allergic reaction.
3) If it is of importance to you, they’re not recognized as an AKC standardized breed. 

If you’ve read the details about us on our home page, you’ll know that our home is filled with children of all stages (teenager, big kid, little kid, toddler and baby). You’ll also know that we have another dog, cats and other animals both inside and outside of our home. Our house is VERY active with lots of sights, sounds, interactions and frequent visitors. You can expect your puppy to be well acquainted with all sorts of stimulation which will make them well adjusted and establish a good foundation which helps them build confidence. Do expect an adjustment period to your new home. (See below for the 3/3/3 rule)

However, socializing must continue when you bring home your puppy to help them acclimate to their new home and lifestyle. I recommend bringing your puppy with you EVERYWHERE and introducing them to many people and other trusted dogs. While they’re young (8-12 weeks), they’re very impressionable and taking it all in. It should be noted that you should also introduce them to new places, people and animals with some caution. Coming in contact with the canine parvo virus is a serious concern and is often deadly to a puppy. Their immature immune systems are very vulnerable until about 16 weeks of age – this is about the time that their vaccinations have caused them to build their own immunities.

In addition, I recommend a dog obedience class (if you’re able) to provide further socialization for a well-rounded dog.
 
A helpful guide to refer to when in doubt is the 3/3/3 rule:
Expect 3 days to decompress
Expect 3 weeks to learn your routine
Expect 3 months to feel at home :)

Although we’d love for you to be able to take home your precious bundle of joy sooner, it is best for both you and your pup for him/her to be with the litter for multiple vital reasons:

1) It takes 8 weeks for a puppy to be weaned and exclusively eating solid food. Separating before 8 weeks can have health repercussions for a puppy. They’ll leave with a weakened immune system from not being properly weaned.
2) It is important for puppies to have a full 8 weeks to complete socialization with their littermates. They need to learn how to play and act.
3) They need the time with their mama. Mom instills self-reliance and independence. And studies have shown that puppies who are separated from their mother too early will often have more behavioral issues. A new owner’s time for training will be lengthened by weeks if puppies are taken away from their littermates and mother too soon.  

We feed our puppies Purina Pro Plan Puppy food.

Necessary supplies needed to prepare for your puppy:
- A crate, preferably small – however, if you do purchase a large crate you can put a cardboard box at the back to keep their sleeping area small. Puppies do not like to soil the place where they sleep, so this will help prevent accidents in their crate. Crates are important as they provide a den-like refuge for your puppy to retreat or be kept while you’re away or cannot fully supervise them. This will help keep them out of trouble. You can add a blanket to the top of the crate to make it even more secluded for them.
- A small collar, an ID tag, a 6 ft leash
- Food and food/water dishes.
- Puppy treats and toys (Nyla bones and Kong toys are great and durable, never give your puppy or dog raw hides or animal bones as they pose a choking hazard)
- A puppy brush, nail trimmers, dog shampoo
- Cleaning supplies for accidents

We also recommend being proactive by puppy-proofing your home.
Make sure all cords are inaccessible to prevent chewing and electrocution.
Drapery cords can get wrapped around their neck.
Frayed upholstery can look like a fun thing to chew on.
Small objects that could have gotten away under furniture could be a choking hazard.
Safely store away all cleaning products, fertilizers, insecticides, antifreeze and mothballs.
Keep houseplants up and away from any areas that will be accessible to your pup.
Always monitor them outside to make sure they’re not eating potentially poisonous plants outdoors or getting themselves into any hazards.
