Healthy, Happy Goldendoodle Puppies Raised with Care | PerksCourt.com

At Perks Court Doodles, we are passionate about raising healthy, happy Goldendoodle puppies who are well prepared for life with their future families. Our breeding decisions are made thoughtfully, taking into consideration health, genetics, temperament, structure, and the qualities we hope to see passed on to future generations.

Our puppies are raised in our home, where they receive daily hands-on care and benefit from an intentional puppy-raising curriculum. From an early age, they are introduced to a variety of sights, sounds, surfaces, people, handling, and age-appropriate experiences. Our goal is to help them develop confidence, resilience, and positive associations with the world around them.

We intentionally keep our breeding program small so that we can devote individual time and attention to each litter. This allows us to get to know our puppies as individuals while providing the care, socialization, and experiences they need during their important early weeks.

As our puppies grow, we continually observe their individual personalities and developing traits. We look at characteristics such as confidence, energy level, people orientation, engagement, sensitivity, persistence, and how each puppy responds to new experiences. These ongoing observations help us guide families toward a puppy whose personality and needs may be a good fit for their home and lifestyle.

By keeping our breeding program small and intentional, we can give each litter the attention it deserves. Our goal is to raise well-rounded, happy Goldendoodle puppies and give both our puppies and their families the best possible start together.

Our Ethical, Intentional, Professional Goldendoodle Breeding Program Includes:

Health & Genetic Screening: We use available health and genetic information when making breeding decisions, with the goal of producing healthy puppies and making thoughtful pairings.
Home-Raised Puppies: Our Goldendoodle puppies are raised in a loving home environment with daily care, handling, socialization, and positive experiences.
Intentional Puppy Curriculum: Puppies are gradually introduced to age-appropriate sights, sounds, surfaces, handling, people, and new experiences to encourage confidence and resilience.
Limited Litters: We intentionally keep our breeding program small so we can provide individual care and attention to every puppy.
Individual Puppy Observation: We observe each puppy throughout their development to better understand their personality, confidence, energy, engagement, sensitivity, and other individual traits.
Thoughtful Family Matching: Our Puppy Questionnaire and conversations with prospective families help us learn about their lifestyle, preferences, and expectations so we can help guide them toward a puppy who may be a good fit.

Genetic test results for all dogs in our program are available for you to see under the Forms > Contract section of our website. Please log in to see each of our dam's and sire's full reports.

Genetic Test Reports

Health Screening

Since our Goldendoodles live with us in our home and are truly a part of our family, we strongly feel that regular veterinarian examinations, vaccinations, and screenings are essential to maintaining the highest level of health, well-being, and overall happiness of our dogs and puppies.

Puppy Curriculum

Are you looking for a well rounded, socially apt, child friendly, playful, intelligent companion? Enrichment starts at the VERY beginning of their lives to teach them that humans are nice and can be trusted. We start on the third day of their newborn lives with Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and Early Scent Introduction (ESI). Read more about our protocols in the next section to learn more. Our family also begins training very early on by empowering our puppies with "YES!". This powerful word helps to instill many positive benefits. By enabling the puppies with "YES!", said in an encouraging, cheerful way, we provide them with the needed tools to be adaptable, confident, neutral dogs. While they are growing up in our home, we expose them to a variety of age-appropriate:

Sounds
Smells
Textures
People
Environments
Challenges

Our objective is to empower our Goldendoodle puppies to be the best version of themselves and to set them up for successful household companions. Once we place our puppies in their forever homes, we help their new families to continue to introduce them to new situations and experiences. Doing this before they are 4 months old will help each puppy gain the confidence they need to live happy, well socialized lives.

Early Scent Introduction (ESI)

Early Scent Introduction Protocol is a way of stimulating the neurological system. But this program focuses specifically on stimulating the puppies sense of smell.

The ESI Protocol helps develop interest in scenting, the ability to detect scents, and the ability to follow scents. This program is proving valuable in raising puppies with an aptitude for activities that require use of their nose – hunting, tracking, nosework (scent detection sports), obedience trials, scent hurdle racing, search and rescue dogs, dogs with a scent detection career (like bomb sniffing dogs, drug sniffing dogs, etc).

Dr. Gayle Watkins is a breeder of sporting Golden Retrievers, and over seven years ago, she began testing dogs to determine the effectiveness of ESI. This involved selecting certain puppies from her litters to receive ESI training, and others that would not receive ESI. The results were nothing short of remarkable. The dogs that participated in ESI had more scenting titles than those that did not participate, and they were achieving titles at ages of up to five years younger than the pups that had not participated.

Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS)

ENS is believed to impact the neurological system by kicking it into action earlier than would be normally expected, the result being an increased capacity that later will help to make the difference in its performance, according to Breeding Better Dogs. ENS is time sensitive and must be performed from the third to the 16th days of a puppy’s life.

The exercises are not a substitution for daily handling and stroking of young puppies.

Five benefits have been observed in canines that were exposed to ENS, including improved cardio vascular performance (heart rate); stronger heart beats; stronger adrenal glands; more tolerance to stress; and greater resistance to disease.

In tests of learning, ENS stimulated pups were more active and exploratory than their non- stimulated littermates, according to Breeding Better Dogs.

Where are you located?

Perks Court Doodles is a small, home-based Goldendoodle breeder located in Clayton, Ohio, in the Dayton area. Because our puppies are raised in our home, visits are scheduled by appointment rather than offered as drop-in visits. If you're interested in one of our puppies, please contact us or complete our Puppy Questionnaire so we can get to know you and arrange the next steps.

What's the difference between a home breeder, a puppy broker, and a pet store?

A home breeder personally raises the puppies they place with families, while pet stores and puppy broker websites may sell or advertise puppies that were bred and raised by someone else. At Perks Court Doodles, we personally raise our puppies in our home, so you are working directly with the breeder who planned the litter, cared for the mother, welcomed the puppies into the world, and raised them during their important first weeks of life. We believe families should know exactly where and how their puppy was raised and who cared for them before they came home.

What should I Look for in a Goldendoodle Breeder?

A responsible Goldendoodle breeder should be transparent about where and how their puppies are raised, the health information used in breeding decisions, veterinary care, early socialization, contracts, health guarantees, and the support provided after a puppy goes home. Just as importantly, families should be able to communicate directly with the person who actually raises the puppies and ask questions about the parents, litter, and breeding program.

What to Look for in a Responsible Breeder:

Health & Breeding Information: A breeder should be willing to discuss the health and genetic information available for the parent dogs, their breeding decisions, and the veterinary care puppies receive.
Where Puppies Are Raised: You should know where your puppy was born and raised and who has been caring for them. When possible, families should have an opportunity to meet the breeder and see the environment in which the puppies are raised.
Early Socialization: Look for a breeder who provides puppies with age-appropriate handling, socialization, and exposure to everyday sights, sounds, people, surfaces, and experiences.
Transparency: A responsible breeder should be comfortable answering questions about the parent dogs, puppies, breeding program, health practices, and what you can expect throughout the process.
Contracts & Health Guarantees: The breeder should clearly explain the purchase agreement, health guarantee, and responsibilities of both the breeder and puppy owner before the puppy goes home.
Continued Support: A breeder's responsibility shouldn't end when you take your puppy home. Look for someone who is willing to remain a resource throughout your dog's life.

At Perks Court Doodles, we encourage families to learn about our breeding program, ask questions, and get to know us before deciding whether we're the right breeder for their family.

What sizes of Goldendoodles do you breed?

Goldendoodles come in several sizes, classified based on the size of the Poodle parent:

1. Standard Goldendoodle: Bred from a Standard Poodle, they typically weigh between 50 to 90 pounds and stand about 20 to 24 inches tall at the shoulder.

2. Medium Goldendoodle: Usually bred from a medium-sized Poodle (often a mix of Standard and Miniature), they weigh between 30 to 50 pounds and stand about 16 to 20 inches tall.

3. Miniature Goldendoodle: Bred from a Miniature Poodle, they generally weigh between 15 to 35 pounds and stand about 13 to 16 inches tall.

4. Toy Goldendoodle: This smaller version, bred from a Toy Poodle, typically weighs between 10 to 20 pounds and stands about 10 to 12 inches tall.

At Perks Court Doodles, we specialize in breeding health-tested Standard, Medium, and Mini Goldendoodle puppies. Our focus on health ensures that our puppies are not only beautiful but also have the best chance for a long, happy life.

Please note that while we provide estimates based on the parents' sizes, size cannot be guaranteed. Genetics can vary, and factors such as diet and overall health can also influence growth.

Do Goldendoodles shed or are they hypoallergenic?

Goldendoodles are often chosen for their lower-shedding coats, but the amount of shedding can vary from dog to dog. Coat type, genetics, and the amount of Poodle heritage can all influence how much a Goldendoodle sheds.

No dog, including a Goldendoodle, can be guaranteed to be completely hypoallergenic. People with dog allergies may react to dander, saliva, and other allergens rather than the coat itself, so we never guarantee that one of our puppies will be suitable for someone with allergies.

If low shedding is especially important to your family, let us know. We can discuss the parent dogs, generation, coat characteristics, and Poodle heritage of a particular litter to help you make a more informed choice.

What is a Multigenerational Goldendoodle?

A "multigenerational Goldendoodle" is a Goldendoodle that comes from multiple generations of Goldendoodle ancestry. This type of Goldendoodle is bred beyond the first generation, which is a direct mix of a purebred Golden Retriever and a purebred Poodle.

Generational Breakdown:

First Generation (F1): A direct cross between a purebred Golden Retriever and a purebred Poodle, often sought for its hybrid vigor.
Second Generation (F1b): A Goldendoodle bred back to a purebred Poodle or Golden Retriever, enhancing specific traits.
Multigenerational: This includes dogs with Goldendoodle parents (F2 or later), providing more consistency in size, coat type, and temperament.

Why Choose a Multigenerational Goldendoodle? Multigenerational Goldendoodles are popular among families looking for specific characteristics, such as hypoallergenic coats, varied sizes, and friendly temperaments. If you’re searching for a Goldendoodle puppy that meets your preferences, consider the advantages of choosing a multigenerational breed.

What is the Temperament of a Goldendoodle?

Goldendoodles are often known for being social, affectionate, intelligent and people-oriented, but every dog is an individual. Temperament is influenced by genetics, early experiences, socialization, training and environment. Goldendoodles are becoming America's favorite family pet. Their temperament typically combines the best traits of their parent breeds, Golden Retrievers and Poodles.

KEY TEMPERAMENT TRAITS:

Friendly and Affectionate: Goldendoodles are known for their loving disposition. They thrive on human interaction and are often very loyal to their families.
Intelligent and Eager to Please: With their Poodle heritage, Goldendoodles are highly intelligent and trainable. They enjoy learning new commands and tricks, making training a rewarding experience.
Social and Good with Children: Goldendoodles typically get along well with children and other pets, making them a great choice for families. They tend to be playful and gentle, adapting well to different environments.
Energetic and Playful: These dogs are active and enjoy playtime, so regular exercise is essential. They love outdoor activities, walks, and play sessions.
Calm and Adaptable: Goldendoodles often exhibit a calm demeanor, making them adaptable to various living situations, whether in a bustling household or a quieter environment.

At Perks Court Doodles, we prioritize temperament in our breeding program to ensure that our puppies inherit these wonderful traits, providing you with a loving companion for years to come.

What kind of Grooming is required for a Goldendoodle?

Grooming a Goldendoodle is essential to keep their coat healthy and minimize shedding. Here’s a guide on how to groom a Goldendoodle:

1. Brushing

Frequency: Brush your Goldendoodle at least 2-3 times a week. For those with thicker or curlier coats, daily brushing is recommended.

Tools: Use a slicker brush or a comb specifically designed for curly or wavy coats to prevent matting.

2. Bathing

Frequency: Bathe your Goldendoodle every 4-6 weeks or as needed, especially if they get dirty or start to smell.

Shampoo: Use a mild dog shampoo to avoid skin irritation. Consider a moisturizing shampoo for dry skin.

3. Drying

After bathing, gently towel dry your Goldendoodle and, if they’re comfortable with it, use a blow dryer on a low setting to prevent matting.

4. Trimming

Face and Feet: Regularly trim hair around the eyes and between the paw pads to keep your Goldendoodle looking neat and to improve visibility and hygiene.

Body Coat: Many owners opt for professional grooming every 6-8 weeks for a more uniform cut. Styles vary, from a “puppy cut” (short all over) to longer styles, depending on your preference.

5. Nail Care

Frequency: Trim your Goldendoodle’s nails every 4-6 weeks. If you can hear their nails clicking on the floor, it’s time for a trim.

Tools: Use dog nail clippers or a nail grinder. Be careful not to cut into the quick, which can cause bleeding.

6. Ear Cleaning

Frequency: Check your Goldendoodle's ears weekly for dirt or wax buildup. Clean them with a vet-recommended ear cleaner if necessary.

Caution: Be gentle and avoid inserting anything deep into the ear canal.

7. Dental Care

Frequency: Brush your Goldendoodle’s teeth at least 2-3 times a week to prevent dental issues.

Tools: Use dog-specific toothpaste and a toothbrush designed for pets.

8. Professional Grooming

Consider taking your Goldendoodle to a professional groomer every 6-8 weeks, especially if you're unsure about how to maintain their coat. A professional can provide tips tailored to your dog’s specific coat type.

Regular grooming not only keeps your Goldendoodle looking their best but also strengthens your bond and helps you monitor their health.

What is the Lifespan of a Goldendoodle?

The typical lifespan of a Goldendoodle ranges from 10 to 15 years, depending on various factors such as size, genetics, and overall health. Generally, smaller Goldendoodles tend to live longer than their larger counterparts.

FACTORS INFLUENCING LIFESPAN:

Size: Standard Goldendoodles may have a slightly shorter lifespan compared to Miniature or Toy Goldendoodles due to general trends in larger breeds.
Genetics: Health history from both parent breeds --Golden Retrievers and Poodle-- can influence longevity. At Perks Court Doodles, we prioritize health testing in our breeding program to promote healthy puppies.
Nutrition: A balanced diet tailored to your Goldendoodle’s age and size is crucial for maintaining their health and longevity.
Exercise: Regular physical activity helps keep Goldendoodles healthy and can contribute to a longer lifespan.
Veterinary Care: Routine check-ups and vaccinations are essential to detect and prevent potential health issues early on.

At Perks Court Doodles, we send our puppies to their new homes only after they have received their first vet exam, first vaccinations, and have been microchipped. This ensures that they get off to a great start in their new lives with you.

By providing proper care, nutrition, and regular veterinary visits, you can help ensure that your Goldendoodle enjoys a long, happy life as a cherished member of your family.
