Full Time Goldendoodle Breeders Answer Your Questions... Honestly

Hey Doodle Fam! We had a lot of fun making this video answering questions from our followers who posted over the weekend.

[@mariaborelli8542]

I love watching you two. I appreciate how caring and knowledgeable that you are. 💕👏🏻💕👏🏻

[@henryhealing444]

Your baby tapping you on the shoulder during this is the realest real life in the day of a responsible breeder. IMO, you offer the best info. on the KZbin ... appreciate what you do for educating the public

[@DoodlesofNC]

Thank you! We try!

[@naomihelm4273]

You guys are a gorgeous couple and I can see the love and patience you have for your daughters is what transfers to your care for your mumma dogs and pups 💗. Loved this Q&A

[@DoodlesofNC]

Thank you so much!

The puppy picking experience virtually was great. Our Xena has been fortunate enough to know and stay in contact with her 5 sisters and 1 brother!

[@DoodlesofNC]

Yay for staying in touch!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@shAnn0n1]

There's the "CAMERAMAN", couldn't be GREAT content without the hubby behind the camera. I always say that you guys are doodle puppy experts, NOT breeders. You give us the good, the bad, and the PUPPY. I'm SO happy to be a part of something bigger than myself, and your channel and content allows that. Congrats on 15k subs.

I really enjoyed your Q&A, and it was great to see your hubby in front of the camera answering questions with you. You both did great, and it is wonderful to see responsible and caring breeders like yourselves. Lol when we purchased our Morkie she was supposed to be 5-7 pounds and ended up being over 11. Thanks for sharing! ❤🐶

[@kenyonbissett3512]

My mom got a purebred, medium poodle. He was perfect except for some reason he was a little long like a dachshund, not quite as long. No, there was no dachshund in him, the other puppies were fine and he had no dachshund characteristics. My mom wanted a poodle but had no money. We were poor as church mice, lol. The breeder gave her the puppy including his purebred papers and registration. She just asked the he not be bred. Not a problem! He was loved and pampered for 15 years.

[@DoodlesofNC]

Haha cute dog I bet!!

[@DoodlesofNC]

Dog characteristics can be very interesting!

[@barbaragildersleeve4309]

Thanks so much for sharing the good and the bad. I like how you answer each question honestly and tell what you know. We breed mini genetically health tested goldendoodles. We are a small in home breeder and everyone comes to our home to pick their puppy out. Our puppies are born and raised in our home. We love your potty pan method of training the puppies to potty there and not on the floor. We have used your method for our last 3 litters. I thank you for sharing it has been the best method so far.

[@DoodlesofNC]

I am so glad it has been helpful!!!

[@helenpaul4886]

[@analogkid4957]

Love your videos. I’m binge watching them as I am a dog lover. Your family not only are reputable and trustworthy dog breeders but seem to represent good southern family values ( I reside in the Southeast as well). I also like that you mentioned you are church goers and home schoolers. It appears you are both very conscientious about raising your “Hooman” children with healthy values which is increasingly challenging in today’s toxic culture. I look forward to watching more of your videos in the future.

[@DoodlesofNC]

I am so glad you are enjoying them! We actually only home schooled one year! It was Covid crazy times and we did enjoy it but now they are back in! But we do love Jesus and his relationship with us. 🙌

[@CorrinneSchwartz]

Great video! It was super helpful to hear all the answers to the questions. I really appreciate how transparent you guys are in your videos. I have some questions for your next Q and A video. I would love to hear more about the finances of being a dog breeder over time (what it looked like when you started vs where you are now), like cost of getting started, costs for testing, welping supplies, toys, food, income from placing the puppies in new homes, vet fees, stuff fees, puppy shots, guardian fees, cost of renovating your home and anything else I haven't thought of thats part of the process. Thank you for all that you share!

[@DoodlesofNC]

You are welcome! Tested would definitely very per person, but OFA testing usually runs between 800 and $1000 for each mom, we spent about $30,000 to renovate our home, probably 10,000 for the garage nursery, whelping, maps and pens are probably close to 5000, And purchasing your dogs with a breeders fee usually runs between 5000 and 6000 a dog. It’s best to start small and then work your way up. We did not spend all this upfront. I hope this helps!

[@CorrinneSchwartz]

@@DoodlesofNC this is super helpful! thank you so much for sharing

[@frasersgirl4383]

When I got my Morkie Bear I was concerned about his size because he was so tiny! The gal told me “I wouldn’t worry about him! He’s been dragging the other pups around the kennel by their tails and ears all day lately!!” Almost thirteen years later he’s still the boss!!!

[@brittneyrussell1766]

I'm so glad you brought up the chicken issue. We have golden retrievers and they all have chicken allergies. Ever since we switched to other protein sources like fish or turkey they stopped having skin issues and ear infections. Our vet said that chicken is a common allergen for all types of dogs. As a breeder, we explain this to all our puppy parents. I always advise people to change the food if there's any allergy issues going on and it resolves completely.

[@kenyonbissett3512]

My sisters Westie had terrible allergies. It got expensive, time consuming and distressing to constantly be at the Vets and getting prescriptions for medications. The constant chewing on himself was distressing for him and us, plus he smelled terrible. They tried different dog foods. What eventually worked was them making his food. He had a varied diet, food plus snacks. No more chewing, allergy issues or vet visits. 🥳

[@DoodlesofNC]

So glad I’m not alone!

[@DoodlesofNC]

Yay! No more chewing!

[@cindyedmonds8878]

Congrats on your subscribers! I never miss a video so I really liked your Q & A. Some may say y'all have easy stay home jobs but from my non-breeder perspective I believe you work very hard to provide the best, cleanest and most attentive environment for your moms and puppies. As the saying goes, "If you do what you love you'll never work a day in your life". I do believe your family absolutely loves what you do. I look forward to each and every video from birthing to go- home day. ☺️

Very informative video. I just bred my cockapoo for the first time (UK) dog breeding here has a very negative reputation. So many people just doing it to make quick money. I want to change that but there’s very little support and so your videos have been invaluable to me!

Woohoo! Thank you!

[@bostonmommy8698]

First you guys are doing a amazing job on breeding and how you keep the dogs is awesome. Just want to say grains don't stop heart problems. They believe some of the legumes deplete some taurine. That being said grains don't have taurine that's found in real meat and organs so you should feed a better quality food and add real meat and organs if you can't afford a better food. Also the hot spots are usually caused by a allergy to something and also certain foods create more heat and inflammation in body which can lead to hot spots and chronic ears infections both yeast related usually. If you look up Chinese medicine there's hot and cold food list and ones that create different things in body. Interesting if you want to search it. Love all the videos

[@DoodlesofNC]

Very interesting. I would love to look up more!

[@ShelleyDanielle]

I’ll admit, I am not a dog person at all, I’m a cat person. I grew up with a black and white beagle and then Brittany Spaniels in addition to our Siamese cats and my interest in dogs has not really grown that much. However, after first discovering Rose and Reid Doodles and then your channel, I can’t stop watching either of you! It’s quite interesting how you both approach breeding and run your programs. :)

[@DoodlesofNC]

I’m so glad we brought you into the dog world!

[@michelleconstantino8348]

I watch your videos for the puppies! I love how particular you are in caring for them, you do such a great job. I myself have two young almost two year old dogs, different breeds than yours and each other. One is turning two in Sept Havenese and the other in Dec Mini Aussie. They were the first dogs I got from a breeder. I have always just gotten a mix breed from someone that had a oops happen. lol Crazy I know! Anyway I love puppies but do not want or need another one but just love them so your videos fulfill that need for me. lol Also it is interesting to see how it is done. (or at least should be) Thanks for sharing.

I’m so glad they can give You joy!

[@angelineryan7203]

Love watching your videos. Thank you so much for sharing so much helpful information. I have a question How long do you wait between litters to breed your moms?

[@DoodlesofNC]

Their cycles are usually 6-8 months alert

[@DoodlesofNC]

Apart

[@4onthemove673]

Well done on your accomplishments on KZbin. Question for you? Would you ever consider sending one of your puppies overseas? As far as Australia?

[@DoodlesofNC]

I think it would be pretty difficult - but if it would get a non cargo travel ticket we could do it!

[@brendacollazo7740]

That's true, almost none breeders will allow you to go to their house, they want a meeting point, and you can only see the puppy through photos, not even a video. It happened to me. I won't see my puppy until i pick him up. Had to chose from pictures that researching i now know the color is not going to be the expected one.

[@DoodlesofNC]

Oh no! I hope your puppy ends up being your perfect dog. You’ll love it so much !

[@barbaramathis5844]

I’m from the UK and you are in America! I wish I could get one of your pups but it is only available through flight!

[@DoodlesofNC]

That would be unique but we could figure it out!

[@heatherconte5445]

One thing to remember is dog food is not regulated like human food is. The Ingredient list does not go in order of what's in it. So for example just because Beef is the first listed ingredient doesnt mean beef is what the food has the most of. A lot of people dont realize that. Theres very few laws or requirements for dog food.

[@DoodlesofNC]

True. You have to look percentages. Thank you for the reminder!

[@williamrushforth1724]

My wife and I love your videos! Thank you for the wonderful content and education. To produce your F1B pups, are all your Moms F1’s? How/where do you get your new F1 Dams from? Do you breed your own F1 females? Thank you so much for sharing!

[@DoodlesofNC]

We do also do f1b to f1b, you need to make sure furnishings are present - a genetic test can be run! We do not produce f1’s so we get them from a variety of breeders.

[@jorgemauriciopedroza3894]

Very informative thank you very much! You guys are so sincere and true full. I love my goldendoodle, we take walks everyday in many occasions people stop asking if I'm willing to let him be with another female so that they can have puppies. I'm not sure if this is legal, not sure if is OK, they keep telling I'm allowed to keep one puppy is this the right way to proceed? Any advice?

[@DoodlesofNC]

It’s legal. But you want to make sure your male and their female are in good health with X-rays , genetics etc.

[@wonderwoman1967]

I use to give Fromm but I saw some reviews of the synthetic vitamins and digestion issues. So now I switched to Open Farm.

[@DoodlesofNC]

Good to know!

[@hurshrd654]

I have a golden retriever. It’s kind of scary that people don’t understand what a grain free diet can do to them. Goldens aren’t prone to heart issues so when there started to be heart issues in the breed it raised eyebrows. My golden cant have chicken. We use purina pro plan salmon and she seems to do well on it.

[@DoodlesofNC]

So true!

[@savannahward7464]

I love seeing the little puppies and their full grown moms in your videos but would love to see the size and temperament of a 6-12 month old puppy if that's possible. The babies are so cute and the moms are all so well behaved in your videos but I'm scared about the adolescence stage when the puppy is big enough to cause chaos in our house but young enough to still be in training! 🤣

[@DoodlesofNC]

Oh that would be cool. A reunion!

[@stellaolejar9007]

Erin, our family is considering purchasing a goldendoddle. One of our main concerns is the upkeep. I've never really heard you discuss in length their upkeep as far as grooming. The more I look into it, it seems so daunting and expensive to maintain a golden doodle. Would appreciate any information.

[@DoodlesofNC]

We groom once a month. It’s around 75$ for a medium doodle in our area.

[@denebatelaanhawthorne7292]

Love all your videos! Thanks! I have a 12 year old male, 80 lb golden doodle F1. My next one I need to be smaller! Do you send to CA, or know of a good breeder in CA? I believe I heard on one of your videos that you don’t have any F1’s. Is that correct? I couldn’t have asked for a better dog.

[@DoodlesofNC]

We definitely transport to CA! We have at least 6 there already !

[@catherinegipson4204]

I just joined your channel

[@DoodlesofNC]

Thank you! Welcome!!

[@ericaaubie860]

I just want to add about getting a good breeder. I ask questions like how many times do you breed? I can't stand over breeders who over breed. That is a pet peeve. I like poodles I was talking to a breeder recently. I asked her how many times do you breed. She said I follow the regulations, and what vet says. She went on to tell me how they are tested, and vet checked. Anyway I could see the passion. I could see she loved what she does. Ask alot of questions. Go see the home where the breeder just to see how the puppies are raised, and clean. After asking questions, and visiting you should have a good feeling. Then you decide to proceed, or not. After talking to this breeder I have a good feeling so more than likely will proceed with her. This breeder said can you promise if for some reason you decide not to keep the dog can you please give it back to me. This breeder also had a questionnaire. One question was is your schedule flexible will you be gone for hours? Another question was are you planning to crate your dog, and for how long? Another question was will you get your dog groomed? How will you train your dog? I just liked being so thorough on finding good families. I hope this helps in finding a good breeder. One more thing, ask to see the parents is another good thing. Just to see for yourself how healthy the parents are, and how the breeder runs things.

[@DoodlesofNC]

Such good questions! Thank you.

[@Mikeandrenee69]

So if you send a puppy to Hawaii what do you do about quarantine?

[@DoodlesofNC]

[@saraberkner]

I love watching your videos. I have two toy poodles. About 8 pounds is my limit since I’m older. I’d have trouble letting the puppies go cause they are so cute. I’m down here in Central Florida.

[@DoodlesofNC]

Oh I understand! I’m glad you have yours!

[@kaymack3427]

Hello, I do not have a golden doodle but i do have 2 labradoodles. My youngest, almost 3, has had two surgeries for eating socks. Have you seen this in any of your doodles that you have bred and do you have any recommendations? It happens when he follows the standard poodles to the second floor and I’m home, goes into grandson’s bedrooms and finds the dirty socks and eats them.

[@DoodlesofNC]

I have heard this from other dogs. Not mine though. I don’t have any advice I’m so sorry!

[@baylamakarov8701]

Personally love Origen, my labradoodles tummy is very happy on it. Also I find that all doodles have problems with ear infections. plucking ears during grooms is a huge no no

[@DoodlesofNC]

We did that one too!

[@lindarosenquist8519]

I have a mini 18 week old goldendoodle that keeps peeing in the house, even after having gone potty less than an hour before. She goes on the couch or wherever. What do you suggest for potty training? Love your videos

[@DoodlesofNC]

Hey Linda, I would definitely start with getting a one on one training session with Baxter and Bella, use the code doodlesofnc to get 25% off. In the mean time keeping them in small spaces and having them earn bigger ones when they don’t potty is gradual. Even though she’s 18 months it sounds like you need to start at the beginning with a crate. I hope this helps.

[@trishahutchinson3485]

I always worry about the Mom dogs when the puppies go to their new homes. Do they cry for them for awhile?

[@DoodlesofNC]

Occasionally they hold toys in their mouth or they whine a bit. But overall they are very very happy to be back with their families

[@mommag3024]

This is something I've always wanted to do but I worry about finding nice families and being able to find homes for all the puppies. How do you know if the applicant will be a good owner and did you have to advertise in the beginning or was it mainly word of mouth? I feel like you could do a lot of videos in detail on the business side of what you do and people would pay for that training. Details about what genetic testing needs done, what the contract needs to say, do you have to pay anything extra with your house insurance since people are coming to your home frequently? (You don't have to answer those. I was just giving you examples)

[@DoodlesofNC]

We do offer some consultation work for an hourly fee for those that need help with those things! Applicants can say the best things and still end up a dud- it’s hard to get returns but it happens.

[@debbieslowey]

Can you please speak about the guardian program... not a competitor different breed. I love breeding my poodles but can't have more than 4, they eat too good! lol Thank you very much.

[@DoodlesofNC]

For sure! Reach out via the website and we can chat!

[@williamrushforth1724]

Based on demand how do you feel about the longevity of your business? Do you see signs of market saturation for your doodles and/or for Labradoodles? Thank you

[@DoodlesofNC]

I feel like the market is Saturated but we have been able to rise above because of the way we have shown our selves, the transparency we offer is not common!

[@sandragiorni33]

Can you guys share the brand of the dog food you feed Bella? Thanks

[@DoodlesofNC]

Fromm whitefish

[@williamrushforth1724]

Guardianship program sounds great. But there seems to be much responsibility on the guardian to communicate with you, care for and monitor the moms…are there ever any shortcomings oversights etc that impacted the process? Do the doggie moms get sad to go back to their guardian home without her pups? At least she is going back home to family of course :)

[@DoodlesofNC]

They are so pumped to go back home, they are ready to wean. It is a lot for guardians but we compensate them nicely.

[@williamrushforth1724]

Thank you :)

[@nana-tr8om]

how long of a break should it be between each litter?? for the mom

[@DoodlesofNC]

Do you mean between each litter? Our reproductive vet and most vets agree that breeding back to back and spay right after is the healthiest way to breed

How Long before birth Date do you get your Guardian Girls to your Home? Do you Check them for illnesses or Parasites before they come?

[@DoodlesofNC]

One week ahead! And no we don’t check them.

At what age do you retire your female breeding dogs and are they bred every cycle?

[@DoodlesofNC]

They are bred every cycle but their first. 4 litters if everything is going healthy and strong.

My golden husky is now 12 years old and I want a goldendoodle so I can train him/ her as a mobility dog. How do I get on your waiting list and how much do I need to save?

[@DoodlesofNC]

Our pups are 3400. It would be a great idea for a doodle to be a mobility dog!

How do you keep fleas away

[@DoodlesofNC]

I’ve never had them so I’m not sure! But we are not in a high grass wooded area.
