Are you considering a “mini goldendoodle for sale” for your next furry companion? This comprehensive guide is your one-stop resource to understand everything about these adorable, intelligent, and loving dogs as well as a look at the puppies available here at Breezy Hollow Puppies.
From their charming personalities to their unique care requirements, let’s delve into what makes mini goldendoodles a sought-after choice for families and individuals alike, helping you make an informed decision as you embark on the journey of welcoming one of these delightful pups into your home.
Mini Goldendoodle Puppies: A Brief Introduction
A goldendoodle is a mix of two of the most popular dog breeds – the golden retriever and the poodle. Goldendoodles come in several sizes, but at Breezy Hollow, we focus on providing families with mini goldendoodles, medium goldendoodles and micro miniature goldendoodles.
With mini goldendoodles, the parent breed includes a golden retriever and a miniature or toy poodle, to ensure a smaller size. Typically, you can expect them to weigh about 25-35 pounds when fully grown, and their lifespan is about 15 years in general.
This hybrid breed combines all of the crafty intelligence of a poodle with the sweet nature and loyalty of a golden retriever. Retrievers also are known for their intelligence as well as being easy to train and excellent family dogs. Because of their intelligence and amiable temperament, goldendoodles make excellent service dogs, including guide dogs and therapy dogs.
Goldendoodles also tend to shed far less than many other breeds, which makes housekeeping easier, but also tend to be a great option for people with dog allergies. No dog breed is truly 100% hypoallergenic, but goldendoodles can be much less problematic, allergy-wise, than many other breeds.
Goldendoodles make wonderful family pets, but they do not like to be left alone and they do have a high energy level, especially during their early years. A good fit is a situation where they generally will have people around throughout the day and a family that provides them with daily walks and playtime.
If you are searching for a highly intelligent and affectionate dog, a miniature goldendoodle puppy can be a wonderful option. With proper training, they are very sociable, well-behaved dogs that can be taken just about anywhere dogs are allowed.
Health & Wellness
Mini goldendoodles, like all dog breeds, have specific health considerations that potential owners should be aware of. While they are generally healthy dogs, their mixed-breed lineage from golden retrievers and poodles means they can inherit health issues common to either or both parent breeds.
For instance, hip and elbow dysplasia are common issues in many breeds including golden retrievers and poodles, as well as goldendoodles. Skin issues, such as allergies, and ear infections are other issues that can occur with goldendoodles, as well as diseases such as Von Willebrand’s disease (a blood clotting disorder) and subvalvular aortic stenosis (a heart condition).
Of course, it’s important to understand that no dog breed is free from all health concerns and with proper breeding that includes genetic testing as well as health clearances for parent dogs, we can avoid many common health issues.
Still, routine veterinary care will always be your best line of defense against serious health issues. Regular check-ups, vaccinations, dental cleanings and parasite control are important parts of dog parenthood and will help your dog live a longer, happier and healthier life.
Before you adopt a mini goldendoodle or any dog or puppy, you must consider the costs associated with caring for a dog. Veterinary care, food, leashes & collars, dog beds, toys, grooming and more are part of these costs, and costs tend to increase as your dog ages.
Grooming & Feeding
We feed all of our goldendoodle puppies grain-free Great Lakes Pet Food. We chose grain-free because grains are simply not the best source of calories for your dog and their stomachs are not designed to digest grains. While this brand is on the pricier side, we believe that quality food can prevent many health issues and not only are health issues unpleasant for your sweet dog, but they are also far more costly than spending a bit extra on quality food.
Great Lakes Pet Food provides all of the nutrients your dog needs, as well as boosting their immune system. We recommend that you continue feeding your puppy this brand, and, while we offer a 30-day guarantee on all of our puppies, we will extend the guarantee for two years if you use Great Lakes food; that’s how strongly we believe in the nutritional value of this product.
When it comes to grooming, we recommend brushing your mini goldendoodle several times each week to keep the coat healthy and prevent matted fur. This can be a relaxing activity you both enjoy while watching TV or listening to some soothing music – it can be doggie spa time!
Generally, goldendoodles should be bathed every four to six weeks, as needed, and their fur needs to be trimmed about every six to eight weeks. Their nails also need to be trimmed frequently, and it’s usually best to have a professional handle that task.
Because goldendoodles are prone to ear infections, regular weekly ear cleaning is a good idea as this just takes a few minutes and can make a huge difference in your doodle’s ear health. We also recommend brushing their teeth a few times each week and scheduling professional cleanings, as well.
Training & Socialization
At Breezy Hollow, our goal is not just to provide you with a beautiful, healthy puppy, we also concentrate on socialization. Your puppy should feel comfortable around people and other dogs as well as being able to handle a variety of social situations.
You have the option of purchasing either a trained or untrained puppy, and while a trained puppy is more expensive, this can be an excellent option to consider. With a trained puppy, your new addition will be highly socialized, potty trained, crate trained, leash trained and understand crucial obedience commands such as sit, stay, lay down, etc.
If you opt for an untrained goldendoodle, we recommend beginning your own training as soon as possible. Whether you go to a training boot camp or hire an in-home trainer, you will enjoy your new dog much more if the animal is well-trained. Training keeps them safe, helps them understand the rules of your house and just makes life easier for everyone.
