About Doodles:

Goldendoodles are assigned a generation number to describe a new litter of puppies – the most common being F1, F1B, F2, or F2b. Regardless of generation, golden doodles have a consistent record of being extremely intelligent, easily trained, and most importantly, having a loving, friendly, outgoing temperament. The generation of the Goldendoodle is important because it impacts several of it’s characteristics, especially shedding. If you or your family members have allergies, and want your doodle to be hypoallergenic, it’s important to understand the differences between doodle generations.

F1 Goldendoodles

First generation Goldendoodles identified with the letters “F1.” These puppies are bred from a pure golden retriever and a pure poodle, making the resulting doodle 50% poodle and 50% golden retriever. F1 doodles possess all of the wonderful traits that make retrievers and poodles such desirable pets. This includes incredible intelligence, a loving demeanor, and hypoallergienic qualities. However, due to the fact that they are 50% retriever, most F1 Goldendoodles shed lightly to moderately. This makes them better for homes with only slight or moderate allergies. F1 doodles tend to have a shaggy or wavy coats, but can occasionally have a very curly coat.

F1B Goldendoodles

When an F1 doodle is cross-bred with a poodle, the term “F1B” is used to describe resulting offspring. An F1B Goldendoodle is 25% retriever and 75% poodle. This generation has become the most popular generational breed for those looking for the most hypoallergenic dog. F1B Goldendoodles are non-shedders 99% of the time, thus making them the most hypoallergenic of all the doodle generational breeds. F1Bs are the best option for families with moderate to severe allergies. Even though F1B doodles are technically 75% poodle, they still benefit from the amazing retriever genes and characteristics that most people are looking for in a family pet. They are known to exhibit the same favorable personality traits and behaviors as F1 doodles with the exception of shedding!

As for coat types, F1B doodles tend to have much more variety - from long and wavy to short and curly. F1B doodles came in a wide range of colors depending on their family pedigree.

We strive to produce puppies with the very best temperaments and personalities, and the health and overall condition of our puppies is a top priority.

Think About It:

ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT A PUPPY AS A CHRISTMAS GIFT: Most people picture the made for tv moment of having someone they love open up the gift box from under the tree and finding a puppy. However, what they don't always think about is the time before and after. Bringing home an 8 week old puppy during this very hectic time is not always the best idea. Typically people have very busy schedules with traveling or a house full of their own guests. This is all extememly overwhelming to a puppy who has just been removed from its mother, litter mates, and the security of the only home it had known. It also makes it difficult to travel as am 8 week old puppy is not fully vaccinated and should not be in exposed to places like rest areas where they can pick up illnesses from other dogs/ dog droppings. Puppies can also not be kenneled/boarded as they are not fully vaccinated. A better solution is giving the puppy as a gift with a picture and even a facetime suprise on Christmas Day. We can help you arrange all of those things to make the puppy the perfect gift without stressing you or the new pup!

UPCOMING LITTERS:

F1 Bernedoodle, Winnie, is due around Nov 10th. She weighs 78 lbs and has tri color markings like a Bernese Mountain Dog. She was bred with Bauer a miniature poodle weighing 15lbs. Their pups will be F1b and will are anticapating they will range on average between 30-60lbs. The females could be as small as 25lbs with most likely falling in the 30-40lbs range. The males tend to be bigger and we are anticapating the majority being around 40-50, however we could end up with one in the 30's and as large as 60lbs. WE always try to be VERY transparent about sizing and never want to mislead anyone. Since the parents have such a large difference in size, and this is their first litter together, we are doing our best to estimate. We do not have an exact go home date at this time, as it will depend on when they are born, but it will be around January 5th!!

F1b Goldendoodle, Anna, is due around Nov 8th. She weighs 45 lbs and is red in color. She was bred with Enzo, a F1 red mini goldendoodle weighing 38lbs. Their pups will be F2b (varying coats-some curly like an F1b, some wavy, and some even more flat like a retriever [without the extreme shedding]) and should range approximately between 35-55 lbs. Past litters have had a few pups that hit 58-60lbs. The pups should range in coloring from apricot to darker red. We do not have an exact go home date at this time, as it will depend on when they are born, but it will be around January 3rd!!

If you are interested in a puppy, please fill out a puppy application and email it back to us at saratogagoldendoodles@gmail.com

If your application is accepted, you must put down a deposit to hold your place to choose a puppy. The deposits are NON REFUNDABLE (some exceptions do apply and will be determined by Saratoga Goldendoodles.) We will, however, refund the deposit if there is only one puppy left to choose from and this puppy is not a good match for your family! If this occurs you can switch your deposit to another puppy or litter, or we will refund the deposit for you. We do understand all too well that lives change and sometimes getting a puppy needs to wait. So if you are unable to take a puppy when we call, you may use your deposit for a future litter or depending on the circumstances, at our discretion, we may refund your deposit. We do reserve the right to refuse sale to any person whom we feel is not the best choice for one of our fur-babies. Please see the "Right of Refusal" section below.

As soon as our puppies are born, I call all of the families on the deposit list. People chose their puppy in the order that their deposits arrived and based on our recommendations. We ultimately will decide if a puppy you are thinking of choosing is a best fit. We also reserve the right to hold certain puppies for individuals that have health related concerns (severe allergies, anxiety, autism, to name a few) that require a certain type of coat or personality. When I get to your name on the list, I’ll let you know which spot you are in….You can opt to take that spot or wait on another litter. Once you reserve your spot, you can watch the puppies grow through the pictures that we send each week.

At around 7-8 weeks of age, the puppies are ready to go home!! Families will come in, one at a time according to their deposit order. You’ll be able to play with the puppies and mom, ask questions, and decide which little angel to take home! Should you come and not fall in love with one of our fur-babies or find the right match, you can choose to pass to another litter. The remainder of the purchase price is paid on the day the puppy is picked up or delivered to you. Yo

Cost of puppies ranges depending on type of doodle, coloring, and size. Prices will range from $2700-$3000

Our puppies come with a 2 year health guarantee against genetic issues.
