At Gleneden we are devoted to raising beautiful, healthy, affectionate puppies and making
them available to responsible dog lovers. The pups are raised in a loving family environment and are fully socialized. The
large acreage provides plenty of room for our studs, brood bitches, and puppies to romp. The environment often lead folks
visiting to jokingly comment that they wouldn't mind trading places with the livestock.
Weaned from mother at 6
1/2 to 7 weeks of age, the puppies are generally available for adoption about three weeks later. The temperament of the males
and females is basically the same. Neither sex is harder to house train, and both are equally intelligent and affectionate
The major focus at Gleneden is the "health" of our puppies - there is nothing as important to us. We follow
a vigorous state of the art vaccination and deworming program. Judging by the overwhelming majority of messages we receive
from owners, our pups can be expected to retain their good health and vitality as they mature into adult dogs.
TRUE
DOODLES. Out-crossing is the key to health and an important element in our breeding program. We do not line breed. We
cross breed unrelated dogs - both F1B Backcrosses (F1 Labradoodles X unrelated Poodle) and Multi-generation Labradoodles (Labradoodle
X unrelated Labradoodle). Unlike some breeders of "Labradoodles", we have never introduced a market basket of
breeds, such as Cocker Spaniels, into the gene pool - our puppies remain "true" Labradoodles, with only Poodle and
Labradors in their genetic makeup. No mystery formulas at play. SIZE:
Miniatures are a speciality at Gleneden (-40 lbs) Obviously, a host of factors including diet and exercise can influence
growth and development and Gleneden cannot forecast nor guarantee adult sizes.
Adult weights
of our standards are typically in the range from 45 to 65 pounds, with a few being smaller and a few heavier.
COLORS: The puppies
come in a variety of colors, including blond, black, cafe au lait ,chocolate, cream and, infrequently, silver and red. Grooming
requirements are minimal on our Doodles. They are wash-and-wear, if you will. Many owners trim their dogs themselves occasionally
just to keep them looking neat and clean. And, of interest to many folks, our Doodles, whether low shed or nonshed (prospective
shed levels are not guaranteed), seem in most instances fully compatible with allergy sufferers.
