Some answers to your common questions
Boy | Girl
I am often asked, what's the difference between the little boy and the little girl puppies. Boys are typically a bit more laid back or lazy and girls are a bit more nosy (typical women). I have observed this over the years with many puppies. They are all very loving and sweet , the Doodles are very friendly people loving dog, however.I personally believe that spaying & neutering a puppy as early as possible. 3-6 months old , desexes them and they do not tend to show the male/female tendencies. I have never had a family contact me about a neutered male that was marking the house.

Living Conditions | Exercise
Doodles require a moderate amount of exercise and their coats are high maintenance. They can live in the city or on a farm. They are social dogs and they are happiest when they are with people.
Grooming
As a hybrid cross, Doodles will inherit fur that but usually something in-between their parents. Unclipped Doodles will have hair about 4-7 inches long, shorter on the face and longer on the body, tail and legs. From my observation, they grow about one inch a month. They require combing every day . Depending on how often the dog is groomed, clipped Doodles are groomed several times a year.
Life Expectancy
With good care and nutrition, about 10-15 years.
Color
The color of doodles just like poodles can change some , colors can lighten or darken some over time.
Selection
Via the website, we post newborn pictures (within the first week of birth), then at three and five weeks we will post still pictures of each puppy. Selection starts at five weeks and payment is expected at that time, unless you bring cash at pick up.
